When I got a few empties I soaked them to release the labels (initially the labels of my 'test' containers came right off. NONE of the box I bought for this project came off easily. Not a one. All needed to be soaked off with Goo Gone). I washed them, let them dry and then paper toweled them off to remove any leftover oil or residue. Next I simply ran some labels off on some file folder stickers I had sitting in the cupboard. Wrap them around the container, fill with whatever seasonings or spices you usually like to use on your meals; and you have a quick, easy and storage-friendly way of bringing along seasonings on your hiking, camping or backpacking trips.
I started out with a natural sweetener (labeled sugar) along with a cayenne pepper/chiptole seasoning mix, salt, pepper and a garlic powder/salt mixture. I'm waiting on the husband to finish off a couple more containers of Tic-Tacs so I can finish up with our chicken seasoning mix, lemon pepper garlic mixture and cumin!
