Bought these cool jugs at a flea market this weekend. As far as I can tell, these were used to hold the syrup, that when mixed with carbonated water, created the beverage. Also came with original Pepsi Syrup bottles box (not pictured)

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.
I just found a 1955/ 2- one gallon glass jug coca cola create. It is missing the 2, one gallon jugs. Would you know where i can inquire these jugs to make my collection complete.
