I looked at it as I processed it for the POD and looked at it again when I set the order, one more time to make sure there was a picture displaying around midnight. I saw it yet again when I loaded the 1/1/10 image and two screens later it hit finally me. Hey, wait a minute, let's back up a minute....

My excuse is the salad was unusual enough and then I probably thought cool, red dressing, alright! (It does look good doesn't it?) I'm just surprised a couple hundred people saw it and no one even asked about the bottle.

It's a bottle of food IMO. You can legally bring in stuff like OFF in an aerosol spray can but not PAM - at least the way I interpret the rules. My brain just assumed salad dressing wasn't food I guess. When I realized it even could possibly be considered a bottle of food I made it go away.

I know the BW allows beer in plastic bottles but you can't burn your empties. Peanut butter is obviously food but those 'jars'   ::) would be considered acceptable -IMO- perhaps reusable? Salad dressing also comes in packets though so I'd prefer a POD wasn't somehow 'suggesting' bottles for that purpose. Maple syrup? I don't know, I always splurge and get the real stuff and repackage into more conveniently shaped bottles for group trips.

I asked and brought in a glass bottle of Buckley's once with blessings from the staff - because that's not considered food I guess.

Don't take my word for anything though. I could easily be wrong and or over complicating things - and I'm certainly not judging the photographer. It's just my well reasoned and insightful, personal opinion while thinking of my own safest, easiest, best path options.  ;)

Way to go Spartan2. Now my brain hurts.  ;D

Anyone know for sure how certain things fall under the rules?
