As the picture shows, Sam's has changed it's syrup supplier. Mrs. Butterworth's Original Syrup (Rich and Creamy) came in the perfect size tray to fit in Xerox "paper" boxes. The box held 4 2-packs of syrup. We have used and enjoyed these boxes/trays for several years on the Toy making Product Line. They now will be obsolete and impossible to find. Mrs. Butterworth's is being replaced by a smaller box containing 3 2-packs.
So now the quest for the next perfect size box has begun...
Stay tuned...
