 Possibly.  These are 1 Pint and 1 Quart sized milk bottles in use by a few
of the local convenience stores and dairies in NJ and PA (my area).  WAWA,
7-11, Krauszer's, Quick-Chek, etc etc are likely sources.    I haven't had
them leak yet but there have been a couple of times when I realized I'd
misthreaded them...
