As per recent discussion, I looked for awatering can with a fine rose 
and actually found onehere in New Zealand, and the same store is selling 
these sprinkler tops, so bought a packet of them as well (it lacks the 
single squirt one) and am praising them to friends and family.  
Wonderful gadget (the only problem was finding a soft drink bottle)
