I'm looking for some "old style" 16 ounce/1 liter water bottles. I don't need insulation, I don't need 25+ ounces, I don't need a spray unit designed by NASA, ... just a supply of straight sided 16oz plastic-ish bottles with the old style top that used to be so common. A cheap price would be nice, I like to keep a bunch in stock so I don't have to wash them everyday.
All I can find now are newer phallically inspired oversize modern designs that are way too large for my old layout frame. Any pointers ?

I reuse the plastic bottles that "Glaceau Smart Water" comes in. They make a 750 ML (25.3 oz) and a 1 liter (33.8 oz). The 750 ML's come with a nipple. The 1 liter bottles are the only ones I've seen that will fit in the holders. Great for longer rides. Dirt cheap at about a $1 or so. They wear like iron, I've used the same bottles daily for the last season.
That's an interesting idea that should have occurred to me. Right now I use gatorade bottles as they are the perfect size... but there's no nipple on them.
For a while gatorade was using these twist-open nipples that were about a half inch thick and as wide as the wide-mouth on the bottle. Weird, ineffective, but better than splashing sugar water all over your golf bag...
