The Coke gallon jug was used by drive-in's to make thier own Coke Cola. We mixed 5 gallons of hot water with 5 lbs of sugar then put it in the carbinator to mix wtih seltzer and you had Coke. I sold 3 cases of 4 including the origianl 1955 box at an auction several year ago. Coke also gave you the wax cups free which I still have somewhere.
