Mystery Of Red Bottles! Bottles With Red Liquide Outside Multiple Jodhpur Houses Cause Online Curiosity

A rather confusing video is doing the rounds on social media, leaving netizens with a whole lot of questions. The clip showed bottles with red liquid hanging outside multiple houses, allegedly in Jodhpur.

Some were simply kept on the front porches, while others were hung on boundary walls and fences through wires and threads. The weird practice was seemingly spotted by a man, who himself got confused about its purpose. Sharing the same confusion on the internet, the man later posted the clip online– only for it to turn out to be something that people allegedly do to keep strays away from urinating! Wait, what? Yes, if multiple social media comments are to be believed, the practice of keeping red liquid in bottles around the house is to keep street dogs away from urinating near the area.However, does the practice really work? Well, there is no solid evidence for these ‘red bottles’ actually working. As per many comments of netizens who claimed to be veterinarians, the practice is just a ‘myth’.Times Now could not confirm the details and the authenticity of the post, whereas the ‘red bottle’ practice actually working also could not be confirmed. Check out the viral post: “These days, this bottle filled with red-colored water is seen hanging outside almost every house. I have also seen this bottle hanging outside almost every second or third house in Jodhpur!! What is the reason behind keeping such bottles?” the post read.The post was shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘Kapil_Jyani_’. The post was shared a day back, and pulled many views from netizens.

Otherwise, they just start peeing anywhere,” a user said. “It’s a belief that cats and dogs don't pee near their bottles. Not sure how it actually works,” added the next person. “It's a very wrong concept held by some people that dogs can be driven away by the red color, but the reality is that dogs can only see yellow and blue colors; dogs cannot see the red color. The color that is dark appears blue to them, and the color that is light appears yellow to them,” commented the next.ALSO READ: British Man Holds Blue-Ringed Octopus, Not Knowing That It’s ‘World’s Most Venomous Animal’!
