What is that bottle?

You must be from the south. That is a grit canister. It has a fine gravel (like kitty litter) to give you some traction on ice.

I am not from the south and I have never seen one of those containers. We normally carry a 50 lb bag inside the package car for the same purpose.

My center had the grit bottles under the seat. Customers would ask if it was for taking a leak in.

They give us chains here in the Northeast. They're wrapped around the seat post and on occasion we get the "What the hell is the chain for"? I've never had to use them in a gasoline powered vehicle and there's been some pretty decent snowstorms here the last few winters. However, I had a diesel before and those things get stuck in parking lots and the chains come in handy. Most drivers put them on wrong and wind up popping a tire.

We have chains and traction strips as well. Most times, a couple handfuls of grit under the tires and your good to go.

No grit cans, but I loved those traction strips.

Its still funny to see them shoot 15 foot behind the package car when you're pissed after being stuck for 20 minutes and cant get out with the worn down or broke strips that are in the car.

Those emergency chains we now have are a godsend compared to those strips.

There is usually a progression when you get stuck. First throw down some grit, and if that doesn't work use traction strips. Chains are last option that might work if nothing else does but take a lot longer.
