I'm thinking about using these to bottle a batch of beer for a homebrew contest I'll be participating in later this summer.

I contacted the company and they said that these are not marked as food-safe, however I do know that high density polyethelene is considered food safe. I know I'd be taking a risk using these so I'm going to keep searching for other sources, but if I can't find anything I might go with these.
This contest is being put on by a local distributor and we have to have a theme to our beer, and we're judged not only on the beer but also presentation, bottle/label originality, etc. We're going with a Harley / biker theme and the beer is going to be a big motor-oil thick whiskey barrel aged imperial stout, so I figure why not put it in a motor oil bottle? Carbonation will be quite low on this one so I don't think that should be a problem.
Any thoughts on this crazy idea of mine?
