I can't imagine this is new news , but I did a search and didn't find anything. Had a few of these empty Zip Fizz containers in a drawer . I use the empties to keep aa/aaa batteries in my backpack . I was out buying some .50's for a range trip and thought , I wonder if these will fit in one ... Yep ! Free , watertight . It will hold 3 pellets and a projectile . Just don't drink the stuff and then go freehand chootin'

35 mm film containers, diabetic test strip bottles, pill bottles are all welcome as free dry containers in my cave.
BTW Your druggist throws away hundreds of silica packets (humidity control) daily. They come in the bulk pill containers. All, especially the plastic caged ones can be redried and used to protect your stuff.

You are not alone rking22. I had to look it up too. They are a powdered sports drink.

Thankfully I'm not the only trash collector as my wife calls me... My vitamin empty bottles are usually full of .22lr. It already comes with silica inside. Also got a lot of her medicine bottles to keep small qtd of bird and buckshot for my expedient reloading kit. Tictacs are good for airgun pellets and a folded in half snuff tin cap is quite a good pan for powder scale (specially BP).
