I like things handy - like dish soap being on the sink and not tucked away under the sink in a cupboard - but I don't like the look of commercial containers. This pair, meant for mustard and ketchup, work perfectly for my purposes and are a cheerful addition to the kitchen. There's soap in the red one and vinegar in the yellow; when I read about the cleaning/disinfecting properties of plain white friendly vinegar it became a mainstay.
