They still sell 35mm film, though the market has shrunk dramatically, so I

There's a good alternative in case we're both hopelessly delusional in this
matter: the little canisters that glucometer test strips (used by diabetics)
are packaged in. They're much the same as film canisters, but with some kind of
desiccant in the lid behind a thin partition. If you squeeze the lid sideways,
the lid will buckle so you can remove it and pour out the desiccant.

[I'm referring specifically to strips for the "Accu-Chek Compact" made by
Roche, but other brands are likely packaged in much the same way.]
