What's this?

I use a couple of these. These are actually....


.... 58 gal olive oil barrels used for transport from Greece. There's Greek writing and stamps right in the plastic of the barrel. The Greek govt "food grade" standards are different from USA, so these can't be re-used to transport USA materials back to Greece. Therefore, this guy formed a rain barrel company to use up the barrels. They look great, perform just fine, and the barrel has an awesome screw-top lid. That whole black part twists right off, which makes a nice big opening for inspection and cleaning.
