Tupperware boxes?
If you want the fancy linking together thing then just glue the lid of one box to the base of another!!

Are they screw top Ian?
Pretty much any screw thread plastic tub or bottle will do. I use (clean) urine sample containers for my day pack (seriously - ask your quack for a few)
Good stuff, are they watertight with a shake?
What other colours do they do apart from Jordan pink?
They seem to be watertight, though they're the sort of thing I would use only for dry goods. No idea on other colours. I'll have a look if I remember when I'm next in town.
Zip lok bags hold hold condiments and brew stuff very well, light cheap and mould to any spare space.
Leather pouches lined with poly bags ....
I know where you can get bargain sets of pouches ... and they come in brown or black - not neon pink!

I beg to disagree! You sold me a pink set some little while ago - my washing up stuff fits in one of them (as well as brown ones later on).
Those gear pods just look awkward and weighty for what they offer, unless your muleing eggs through cheddijagan airport.
They are a bit pricey and I didn't really find that much of a use for the pots/tubes BUT I can vouch for their customer service, after a lot of searching I bought one of the sleeves as part of trial. I only really needed the sleeve (For a D sized O2 tank) and a tube to protect the mask. I ordered a couple for size direct from Gearpods in the US, when they arrived there were a load more tubes etc in the parcel together with a handwritten note saying that I hadn't really ordered enough to make the best use of the sleeve so they had thrown in extras to fill it out, which struck me as nice. As it happens we went on to order loads because they are ideal for the job, but they were not to know.
So it's not just me that does this...just wait till I tell my wife. I may be weird but at least I'm not alone
I use the sample bottles filled with coffee, sugar & powdered milk inside my Swedish Army Trangia. If I'm travelling light and just using my Crusader set though I tend to take the coffee sachets which already have powdered milk/sugar as part of the mix.
If its just for storage and don't have to join together...
