My experience with camping and drinking is that a bottle, when placed in the hot coals of a fire, will very slowly melt over the course of the evening. It breaks only when its drunken owner tries to clumsily retrieve it - or when it is actually removed from the coals and immediately placed on a cold rock. Therefore, the sign is obviously aluminum.
