If you don't have anything like that in your house, you can buy small bottles. These are often found in dollar stores or the camping sections of department stores. You might pay $1 for one.
I appreciate your answer, but ziploc bags aren't exactly the safest thing in the midst of a race

In sunny weather I shove one up my shorts leg. It's easy to get the capsules out one-handed with one's tongue. In bad weather, they go in my jersey pocket. In really bad weather they go somewhere waterproof because I'm probably not going to need them anyway. I hate to stop for things like this because if you have to stop, you won't take them often enough. For long rides, I carry a flip-top Hammer Capsule Dispenser in my bag.
Aaaahh, I was not aware they sold that dispenser. Apprecaite the info!
