Thanks. Since making this I've discovered, totally by mistake of course, that some Pepsi bottles slide inside each other as well allowing you to use the flanges as a "lock" that actually POPS into place.... with careful trimming of course.

 I would love to see a picture of that!

I'll try to remember to get the camera before I make the fatal cut too far.

 Great idea! Simple, elegant, and cool-looking. I especially love the space-age styling of the two bottoms combined.
 On the two-bottom combo, I could see drilling a hole through the center of the top bottom and inserting a drawer pull, to make it more decorative and easier to open. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks.

Just today I was using this idea for something else and thought of cutting windows into each bottle that can be opened or sealed shut by turning the bottles.
