FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the embodiment;

FIG. 4 is a front elevational view of the embodiment; and,

FIGS. 1 and 3 to 5 show in phantom lines a relatively large bottle that is received in a recess in the rear portion of the top wall of the container. The large bottle is a replica of the bottles or cans of the beverages being displayed and is part of the display container.
