I think this held soda fountain syrup. Sprite was invented in 1961.
i do think the jug itself may be older than that i just wanted confirmation from someone who knows this sort of thing better than
Efesgirl is correct. The logo is 1961-1972 so the jug dates to that period.

"Some bottle molds already in use were not re-engraved until as late as 1957, 1958, 1959, even, as mentioned, in 1966. However, after c.1958 the great majority of O-I bottles carried the “new” (second) principal trademark, which merely consists of an I inside an oval, or circle."
1960s jug fits.
