After seeing officialfuels collection I went and dug this out of the warehouse. I am not sure where Double Cola was based. This is the only piece I have come across.

It was originally called Jumbo Cola made by the Seminole Co., When Jumbo Cola was refined and introduced as Double Cola in 1935, Seminole became the Double Cola Co. Double Cola also made Ski citrus flavored drink.
Chattanooga, TN, it's still there.
Thanks officialfuel
Thanks StihlCollector
Thanks VikingFan82, don't know how this ended up in South Dakota.
I thought the same thing. The website said they still to this day only distribute east of the Mississippi.
Thanks, modernscavenger, toolate and AR8jason

Thanks lisa and aycockonxion
The whole idea of double cola in the first place was that it would contain 2 times as much soda than coke or pepsi. The reason it went out of business was because a law was placed that the company had to make their own bottles instead of buying used ones, and double cola couldn't do that.
Great find in great condition
Actually the company is still in business today. Great piece to have!
