A Jug is a Jug and the Milk goes Glug Glug

I'm thinking there was probably this type of uproar when we moved from the glass bottles, to the paper cartons...its just a matter of getting used to the new product. Doesn't seem like it takes much either, if you do as they say and just tilt the jug forward, rather than pick it up and dump it over.

out here they still sell half and half, cream and milk in glass jugs at the grocery store, and you can return the glass bottles for like 65 cents and they can reuse them.. seems a better idea than an inefficient container hehe.

LoL Sabby needs to pipe up here and show how they have milk in Canada! When she told me I thought she was nuts... til she showed me.

A gallon of milk is over 4kg in weight.... that's pretty heavy to be lifting with one hand to pour with. Our milk comes in 3 litre bottles (we don't call them jugs either, I dunno what I associate jug with, but it's not plastic milk bottles LOL ) which I think are on the heavy side too. My kids can't manage them when they are full so I don't see how you would go with the gallon ones. The new bottles you guys are getting look ok to me /shrug. Take some time and learn how to use the friggen bottles, its not like is rocket science to moderate your technique and pour something. I mean that in the nicest possible way of course!

Or don't buy the big bottles....

Seem's folks will complain about anything. Never mind appreciate the tecnology that goes into bringing them the milk. The oldfashioned alternative... own a fucking cow or find someone that does and trade them some eggs for the milk. People are never satisfied.

And I think Canada's plastic bagged milk sachets are great, we used to have them down here when I was a kid, though we only had 600ml bags that you fit into a plastic jug which you reused. All you threw away was the empty sachet. Must have saved alot of space in landfill in comparison. I wonder how much of the new plastic bottles get recycled?

Anyway, now I sound like a whiny bitch, so I will stfu now.

haha well you dont have to buy milk in gallons, it comes in quarts and half gallons as well.. oh and pints.. and half pints :p

Just depends what you use.. we arent consistant in this house, my son and daughter love milk, but my other son and I are lactose intolerant, So I only really use it for cooking, cereal for kids and chocolate milk for kids and that depends on their moods if they want it, their tastes change all the time.

The glass bottles we get here are I think half gallon size, and thats usually plenty to get us through a week.

I wonder do those new jugs come in other sizes?
