This works fine, done this 15 years ago to get me some hot soup. The fire will get the water hot without melting the plastic. Unless you have a thick plastic bottle that's not good in transporting the heat to the water... It's safer to place the bottle right up above hot coals though, with the lid off. It's a bit the same as to put a piece of paper tight on the outer skin of your hand. You won't be able to burn a hole in the paper, since all head will be transfered to your hand and will burn you long before the paper burns :-)

do you really think that because there is no air inside, that some how magically the fire won't burn through the plastic? come on.

isn't there a concern that the heat may cause the plastic to exude volatile toxic compounds to the water, making it unsafe for drinking?

Heated liquid expands. There is a danger of the bottle exploding weel before the temperature reached 212 degrees (boiling)

Not fake
This works. You can use a papercup and a candle too. The water absorbs the heat. A bottle with air in it will, obviously, melt where there is no water to absorb the heat.

If you ever at camp and you need to hot some water or boiled some water or any kinds of-liquid for example tea and you do not have a glass or measure container or a pot. This is what you have to do.

You get a plastic bottle, we have to fill the bottle to the top leaving no space for air and you close the bottle. And this is what you had to do. Start a burn fire, take the bottle and put it right there.

Since thee is no air inside, the fire would not melt the plastic bottle. Wait for a couple of minutes, all you have to do is take the bottle and open the bottle, and your tea is ready.
