The container includes a base and a cap, where the cap may have a larger longitudinal length than the base. The longitudinal length of the cap may form a majority of an overall length of the container. The container may include a watertight seal. The container may also include a hydrochromic indicator configured to indicate the present or past presence of a liquid, solution, or other substance inside an internal volume of the container.
