Abstract: A syrup delivery system including a plurality of open-top, sturdy plastic containers and syrup bags. Each bag is positionable in a separate container with the bag spigot thereof extending accessible out through a container end opening. The open gridwork bottom of the container slopes to the container end opening so that the syrup in the bag can drain more completely out through the spigot with the container supported on a flat level surface. The containers have top locking posts, bottom stacking feet, and undulating-like sides. With the containers aligned so that their end openings face the same direction, the containers can be stacked one on top of the other with the posts of the bottom container engaging up into the feet of the top container. To unstack, the top container is tilted forward, the posts and feet thereby disengage, and the tilted top container easily slid down the sloping front lip of the lower container.
