These are great containers. At first, I was very disappointed in how poorly of a fit the lid and container were. But I decided to try them anyway, and proceeded to sanitize them properly.

Being a chef for six years has taught me many things. One of which, you should always boil new plastic containers for at least a minute (best at 5 minutes) to remove any contaminants from manufacturing. We get enough plastics and other chemicals in our diets already. And if you are buying for your kid's lunches like I did, you should do this purely for your family's sake.

The trick to plastic containers with fitted lids is that after you boil them in plain tap water for at least one minute:
1. Remove from boiling water using a pair of tongs or a slotted spoon.
2. Tip the container/lid so most of the water drains back into the pot.
3. Immediately find it's matching container/lid from the pot, and after draining it as well, put the two pieces together.
4. Allow to cool.
5. The lid and container should now be a much better fit. They might still be snug, but should be much easier on your fingers.

Don't take my word for it though. Please only try one at first to make sure it works as well for you as it does for me.

I hope this helps everyone purchasing this product.

I've been trying to find something to carry a large amount of vitamins - I take about a dozen a day including 2 large ones. None of the daily pill/vitamin containers are large enough and small tupperware is just too big to cart around. When I got these, at first I thought they were too small, but I put all my vitamins in one and they fit with room to spare! They are so easy to take with me to work now and I'm remembering to take my vitamins daily.

The lids are a bit tight - but that's not a bad thing. You don't want the lid to fall off - it just takes a little effort to close them all the way. Well worth it!

What happened to Tupperware designers? Beware if you expect these to meet your small storage needs. The lids to these one ounce containers are too small to fit...or could it be the pink containers are too large for the lids. No "push-to-snap-closed" on these disappointing Smidgets.

These are the perfect size for salad dressing at lunch time. They fit perfectly in my salad container, and the lettuce isn't all soggy by the time I get to eat it.

They are super cute but extremely small. I can fit maybe half a large grape in this thing but I have still found great uses for these smidgets. Sauces are great and it seals completely. You don't have to worry about spills. I should have paid more attention to the size details.

Nothing beats Tupperware. With all the other items out there like this, nothing compares to good old Tupperware. These are very handy for a lot of things. Use them to keep vitamins or medications handy, your favorite spice to take when you are out at a restaurant, buttons, pins, whatever will fit. I have purchased similar items but these are the best.
