SFO sells nothing (that I've found) resealable -- only 12 ounce pop-top cans. The idea of walking through an airport, let alone dealing with a open container in flight and the loss of carbonation and risk of spillage makes the entire thing about as unpalatable as most of UA's catering. (Yes, I do have odd and picky tastes -- but SFO is the only airport on the planet 28 countries and 116 airports I've visited where I haven't been able to find at least a bottle of Coke that could be reclosed -- from AKL to ULN to SCE to LAX)
I know this is going to be an absurd sentence, but they sell carbonated Voss in glass bottles in some places. Those are easy to screw the cap back on.
