Back on topic (sorry! by the way, what happened to sherbert dips with liquorice?) but I think I've found the perfect bottle tonight!

Tesco's do a tomato juice drink called CLAMATO. The bottle is 7" tall and 2" inch diameter, which makes it much more managable than the massive bottle I recommended from Aldi as it can fit in your pocket.. granted you look excited but never mind that, it works with a 10p perfectly! :wink:

There's also a wine (can't remember which one though) that comes in a very wide necked bottle that would work well.

sherbert dips with liquorice, you can still get them, I saw some not too long ago. :D

Some of the cooking sauces and barbecue sauces are packed in wider necked bottles - great for storing your favourite home made marinades as well.
