A jerry jug in which the assembly of the handle and the neck traverse essentially from one side to the other of the top. The neck is provided with a breather ring which is positioned between the cap mount portion and flow control tube in such a fashion that the same are in open communication with the interior portion of the handle. The handle terminates at one end with the vent to the breather ring and at the other end with the vent to the body. By eliminating a vent at the rear end of the handle, the undercut for the handle can be widened to accommodate the larger hands of tradesmen and even permit two such containers to be easily held in one hand. The bottom of the unit is provided with a pair of spaced feet, distanced apart to straddle the handle and neck of an adjacent upper or lower jerry jug thereby permitting stacking the same. The rear foot assists in pouring. The method is directed to diverting air from a breather ring on the inside portion of a bottle neck through a hollow handle to a remote corner of the jerry jug. The remote portion is at the intersection at the top and the back wall.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A jug comprising, in combination,a body having side walls, a bottom and a top;a bottle neck on the top of the jug;a handle portion, hollow in nature extending across the major portion of the top of the jug body, and having an end in open communication with the bottle neck and the other end in open communication with the interior of the body remote from the neck;a breather ring interiorly of the bottle neck having means for diverting air to pass through the hollow handle into the interior portion of the body;a flow control tube having a diameter smaller than the bottle neck I.D. and positioned with the flow control tube axis parallelly spaced and substantially offset from the axis of the bottle neck;the cross-sectional area of said flow control tube being less than that of the bottle neck whereby the fluid is initially controlled in its flow by the control tube and sufficient space provided in the downstream direction of pouring for the fluid to avoid contact with the hollow handle.
