Grolsch range

I recently went to the LHBS and they wre selling 2nd hand Grolsch bottles for $1ea.
They were the older shape with the ceramic lids (pre 2007?) some of the rubbers were a little sad but can be easily replaced.
Included in the collection was 10 amber coloured bottles, still Grolsch but slightly larger, stamped 0.5l
While in the shop someone was talking about a large swingtop made by Grolsch, I assumed this was the 1.5l, but he assured me they used to make a 5l (5000ml) version. Anyone seen or heard of this mythical creature?

P.S. I bought 30 on Friday, then after a $40 win on Saturdays GF went back to collect the rest. Total collection now approx 100.

I've seen someone talking about (and posting a picture of) one of these 5lt Grolsch bottles on another board. It seems they do indeed exist.

Not sure what you'd do with a 5lt bottle of beer, though. Nigh on impossible to pour, deadly to finish in one session and the green glass would skunk whatever was in it if you left it out for bragging rights. Funny idea that one.
