[00:00:00]Not a drop of water left. I'm so screwed. I'm going to TURN INTO A DRIED UP MUMMY.

[00:00:10]>> Drink me and you'll just get even thirstier and dehydrate faster.

[00:00:15]>> Hold up. Once it gets hot, I'll heat you up a little.

[00:00:19]>> Why heat it up?

[00:00:20]>> Heating it makes the sea water evaporate. Separates the water from the salt. Wait a bit longer and you'll have a bottle of fresh water.

[00:00:30]>> Where's my water? Why is there nothing but salt left?

[00:00:34]>> Oh my god, it actually turned into drinkable fresh water.

[00:00:40]>> This is genius. Now I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT DYING of thirst on a desert island.
