What kind of container can I safely mix gas and oil for my snowblower
If you can't tell bleach, from milk, then perhaps they got what they
deserved.

Mayonnaise jar or coffee can. Anything made of glass or metal. Or
ceramic.
Glass is an extremely bad idea. People win Darwin awards for storing
gasoline in glass jars.
Never store gasoline in anything not specifically made for it. People win
Darwin awards for doing that also.
Once, my upstairs neighbor came to see me looking for help because she
had drunk some bleach.
One roommate put bleach in one of those translucent white plastic milk
bottles. A second roommate thought it was milk and put it in the
refrigerator. And this third roommate thought it was milk, may have
poured it in a glass, and drank some.
Related. Strangely, neither of my first-aid manuals listed it among
the poisons or anywhere, and the emergency phone number said she had
nothing listed, but she checked with a doctor and said it was not a
problem. That was 1980. Since then other people have told me it is
a problem, and I don't remember the recommended treatment. Maybe it
wasn't a problem in this case because she didn't drink much. But
there still should have been an entry in the manuals and the
operator's manual.
I don't know what they say now.
