The Empty Sriracha Bottle Trick You Need To Know

An entire Reddit thread was devoted to re-using old Sriracha bottles to hold cooking oil, as the squeeze tip allows you to pour out just the amount of oil you want instead of a too-big glug from its original bottle. The Sriracha2Go website also suggests using the Sriracha bottle to hold other sauces and dressings, and one clever Facebook user repurposed hers as a water bottle. You could even use the Sriracha bottle (once you've washed it out thoroughly!) to hold liquid soap, shampoo, or moisturizer to add a little touch of kitschy retro-hipster chic (so 2010!) to your bathroom.

If you're willing to hack into the Sriracha bottle with a scissors or knife, you can cut it down to the desired height and use it as an organizer to hold pens, pencils, and other desktop necessities, or perhaps makeup brushes and hair accessories. Use it as a flower vase, or fill it with soil to use as a planter for kitchen herbs. Wow, looks like there are as many ways to use an empty bottle of Sriracha as a full one! And if that's not a good excuse to go out and buy a whole bunch more, we don't know what is.
