Yep, they used little quart sized paint cans for cane syrup. Never saw a full gallon can before. Here in Shreveport, I was a "city boy". We had the ice cream man drive through our neighborhood. But my cousins out in the country had a guy in a pickup truck with all sorts of stuff in the back ranging from cane syrup to watermelons and a little bit of everything in between. But it was the same thing were kids ran outside with coins in hand. I'm talking 35 years ago... hehehe
