Kip Hawley In Cahoots With Sprayco

At least someone's making money off this. A pet peeve of ours--well, besides the fact that we had to go searching to begin with--is that we've never been able to find empty 3-ounce plastic bottles with which to appease the TSA gods. We're big fans of the Container Store, but after a trip to every one in New York City, plus at least a half dozen drug stores, we found that everyone makes 2-ounce containers, 4-ounce containers, and 6-ounce containers, but 3-ounce ones? Notsomuch.

If we're going to play the game, we at least want to bring as much mouthwash with us as we can without having to worry about a smackdown at Newark.

Finally, while on a routine trip to Bed Bath & Beyond to buy, of all things, a surge protector, we stumbled upon the guys pictured above. Sprayco, some company based in Detroit, has started to manufacture and distribute 3-ounce bottles. These necessary evils come in a variety of shapes. The labels read: "Ideal Size For Airport Carry-On," "Very Clear Dispensing Bottle," and "On The Go!," which might be the product name.

Oh yes, there's even a little airplane cartoon on 'em. And just in case you start to get questioned, "3 oz/89 ml" is embossed on the plastic. Available at least in the Harmon store sections of Bed, Bath & Beyond.
