Unscrew and remove the spray head. Check the straw; it’s usually curved, and you want it to be curving towards the front so that the end can pick up liquid it the lower (front) corner of the bottle when you tilt it forward. If it’s not pointing forward, you can usually turn it in its socket.
I've found countless spray bottles where the straw goes straight down and ends 10-15mm above even the raised hump in the middle of the bottom.
Corpos really do everything to increase sales...
Yeah that's the worst!
I hate this because most people can't be bothered to learn the most basic of things. Life is just easier if you are observant, curious and resolute: Why it doesn't spray downwards? What does the spray head does? How it pumps liquids up? Can we reorient the siphon? Fixed!
I think the point of the meme is that this could easily be baked into the design of the bottle to begin with.
And it already is with other products, e.g. Tilex, which has a pickup tube moulded into the side wall of the bottle itself and runs from the very lowermost front corner up to the spray nozzle. Surely this is a commodity package that any manufacturer could buy, but they mostly don't because I'm sure it costs two cents more per unit.
Get out of here with yourself rational thinking. We're criticizing the masses to make ourselves feel intellectually superior.
