Comments on: An Extra Quart of milk in Pure-Pak… please (Jan, 1950) http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2009/12/17/an-extra-quart-of-milk-in-pure-pak-please/ Yesterday's tomorrow, today.

I think it's probably considerably more expensive because it's usually only on higher end products like organic half and half. On a related note, has anyone else noticed the ridiculous expiration dates on Horizon organic half and half? That's the reason I buy it. I just bought one that doesn't expire until Feb 2010!

Usually the 1 gallon are plastic jugs, and the smaller ones are cartons.

Some juices have progressed to the twist-top level. They are excellent tinders for sauna oven, though. We still have “beak” cartons for milk here in Finland.

A tear-flap on the side? Now, of course, we've advanced through the "beak" cartons that you unfolded and refolded the cardboard carefully into the "plastic spout with twist-top on a carton" space. Those new ones must drive metropolitan recycling czars NUTS! Well, not, that didn’t catch on. A tear-flap on the side?
