tiny soda bottles and crate

[Helix]

I was wondering if anyone knew what the original intention was for these tiny bottles? It crossed my mind they were part of a salesmen's sample cooler or maybe just a novelty. They are glass and still capped with original contents. Seen others online but not much on there purpose. One for sale on epay was called a "sample bottle". There just seems not much there to sample also if they were how were they opened with a little mini bottle opener

My understanding is they were just novelty items, cool little Go-Withs for sure...

I also have these posted under the "what is it" forum and one of the other members made the point that it would of been unlikely that four different bottling companies would of worked together to create these small novelty bottles. My point is it looks like these were made unauthorized by the companies. Still neat though.
