Package might be used in US or UK, but not downunder.  You may just want to double-check with someone from there.

 

KFC does actually sell (cardboard) buckets of chicken but no-one else.  I think KFC probably have the intellectual copyright on it - lol.  I can �t say that I have heard of a bucket of fried onions (I mean, that�s  a lot of fried onions) and yes indeed many lollies and biscuits are sold in fancy buckets, but they are small buckets and I think when we use the term bucket we generally mean a big bucket that holds about 15 litres.  Bucket of water is the most common example.

 

Now that I think of it, in the old days milk was sold in pails (metal buckets), so it was a pail of milk.  We don �t really use that word now here, but they might in UK because it�s a typically British word.  There�s also a bucket of slops which is what the pigs on farms are given (according to the the British TV shows that I watch).
