        5Gal/60lb plastic pails:
 
        The biggest drawback? The plastic becomes brittle with age and
        split. You have to pay attention to this because they usually
        split without warning when full! I've never had that happen
        with 60lb of honey but it did happen once when I was filling
        a juice machine with 5 gallons of bug juice when I worked
        in a college dining hall. What a mess. Drenched me and 4 students
        at the nearest table. Kind of funny once I managed to beat it
        back to the kitchen!
