Where would one buy such containers?

Mackers,

You were dead on mate, I opened one of the longnecks that had been racked and fed with carb drops just like all the PET bottles, and the carbonation was great. Dunno how I'm supposed to get the lids on much tighter tho, got a serious blister from putting them on as it was. Think I'm going ...
