These are available free, they just need washing for any camper or
gardener or lover of things with a lifetime guarantee and no
further use
to our son's client.

They each hold ten gallons, have a screw top, a wine box type tap,
insulated side walls, two carry handles and a retching orange white
and
logo colour scheme.

Here's a link:

What did they have in them before?

Soft drinks, I think. They'd easily wash. They're coming tonight, would
you
like some? I don't mind delivering to you (not tonight though!).

Yes - it's a US soft drink - I've come across it referenced as a high
energy drink for 'sportsmen'.


That's the one, son has just left. His company has been promoting the
'orange' and 'lemon' versions iin Britain and the company won't use the
containers again for fear of litigation - although they're recommended
for re-use by customers! Son is not pleased, throwing them away after
being used only as a display (even though they are recyclable) isn't his
company policy and it wasn't in the contract but the customer is
unmovable.

It looks like the Company policy is a bit more lax with regard to what it
promotes.
Perhaps Gatorade might be of some use to professional sportsmen but
promoting it to pump down the throats of spotty adolescents ain't good
news.
It's a sugar laden, concoction of mush.


There are plenty other liquids which answer that description. I haven't
drunk anything like that since I was 17. And it's not only adolescents who
eat and drink non-foods.

I'm not promoting the stuff, I don't eat or drink any junk.
