It looks to me like there is more plastic in each of the new jugs. Sure they ship easier, but that means more solid waste at the end of the line.

Not that I give a damn. If people want to make ‘em, and people want to buy ‘em, it’s all right with me.

"Sure they ship easier, but that means more solid waste at the end of the line."

This type of plastic is the Type 1 which is always recyclable. Therefore, there is no solid waste if you recycle them.

I have used them and you have to be a little more careful about pouring them. As with everything there is a learning curve.

What is good about them is they take up less shipping space. Now you can stack more inside the transport trucks which saves fuel. We all want less shipping costs to be tacked on our price per gallon of milk. Don't we?

Actually, a lot of the new "plastic" containers that are used are actually biodegradable and made from (believe it or not) corn by-products. Even some of the clear containers.
