I read a "household hint" which suggested using plastic film containers for picnic/camping items such as mayonnaise, mustard, relish, etc. I'm wondering if there might be any chemical residues in the film containers that would be harmful (I'd wash them with soap first of course). I'd like to hear of other re-uses for the containers.

They're PVC plastic which I trust for everything except solvent storage. It's a dreary hassle to label them, yet utterly necessary if you have more than three or four in a backpack. One foole I no longer backpack with once poured laundry detergent, instead of salt, into the stew. REI Co-op offers a set of lids that turn two containers into salt and pepper shakers. A container filled with lead azide breaks the ice (and windows) at parties. Friends in college used to keep their drug stashes in them.
