Answer:
Sufficiently hot water will shrink a plastic bottle, because the bottles are a thermoplastic. When heated to a certain point, the plastic becomes more plastic, and will deform. This can be seen as shrinking. Also, it's chemical makeup is that of a complex polymer, so it's likely folding onto itself when heated as well.
