Default What kind of container can I safely mix gas and oil for my snowblower

Gosh darn it!
I purchased and had delivered a new snow blower and we're due to have a
storm overnight tonight and into tomorrow. I went to Sears/Kmart looking
for a gas can (really plastic) and they did not have any. I had intentions
of getting a one gallon can, with gas, and mixing the requisite oil in it
for my snowblower.

Soooo.......now that I don't have a gas can I was going to use my hand
siphon device to get a half-gallon of gas out of my car and then do the
mixing. I gotta find a suitable container for this though. Suggestions?

Would plastic (i.e refrigerated liquid juice container) not work because it
might react with the gasoline?
All I need to do is mix a half-gallon of gas and an ounce or two of oil.

Thanks,
Walter
