Milk jug re-design has Americans crying over spilled milk. (Literally).

The New York Times reports that the new, clever square milk jug has people crying over spilled milk.

“I hate it,” said Lisa DeHoff, a cafe owner shopping in a Sam’s Club here.

“It spills everywhere,” said Amy Wise, a homemaker.

“It’s very hard for kids to pour,” said Lee Morris, who was shopping for her grandchildren.

But these square milk jugs take up less space in transport allowing for fewer (and fresher) deliveries, waste less space in your your fridge, and are neatly recycled after use. Still, new shapes take some getting used too even if you save space, money, resources, and time on it I suppose.

Best line taken out of context (page2): "A shopper named Jodi Kauffman gave the alien jugs a sidelong glance." *beavis and butthed-like giggle*

So now what to do with all those old milk jugs? make a "Milky Way Outdoor Chandelier" of course, with Alexander Reh's construction list you too can make 14 milk gallons attached to hula hoop and wired with 5 watt holiday lights add a touch of recycle glam to your next outdoor gathering.
