I like the look of the Norpro better than Guy's; for me 16 oz. is too big. I have some cheapies that I got some time ago and the big problem is they leak around the base of the cap so I have to wrap the threads with a tiny strip of plastic wrap.

I'm wondering why I should rush out and buy a set of expensive squirt bottles, when the (identical other than the branding graphics) ones I've got cost 50 cents each?

Linda - have you tried a strip of t-tape (found in the plumbing section of the hardware store) to fix the poor cap fit? It works better than plastic wrap.

Hven't tried that yet, the plastic wrap was already in the kitchen, the teflon tape is 'somewhere' out in the garage. Maybe next time.

i have some very cheap ones from Safeway, $1.20 each or so. Work fine.

Other option, keep empty sriracha or other such bottles around, they also have the nice twist to close tip, that even adjusts a bit to control flow.

OliverB - that idea is, ummmm, totally money!

But how do you get rid of the sriracha odor?

$10 bucks?! This Guy guy loses more and more credibility every single time he introduces yet another over-priced product. I got my same exact squirt bottles, a set of 3, for $1! And bonus: my squirt bottles didn't come with the fruity graphics all over them!
