Hi Sentry  Apple  orange juice etc cartons can also be used as they have a strong seal to stop the contents spilling out all over the fridge.great idea well done Dave

This seems a good idea.

I presume you mean the whole neck and lid and not just the lid?

I can see the possibilities of taking a number of necks and lids from containers and cementing the neck into place so that the lid snaps on or screws on.

Going to sniff around the store cupboard, don't tell my wife!

what about the top from the "nesquick" milk drink cartons?

I think they still come in them ! we have a few left (don't ask for the sell by dates  :D)
I will have to drink milk shakes for a few months so I can empty the cartons and get the lids.

Yuck MILK horrid stuff

What an excellent idea , this would also solv the problem of twin access covers like in the case of tito nero tug where the shottles require access but also need to be water tight . the use of food containers that have re-sealable lid's is endless.
my hat off to you :-))
