Milk & The Shape of Things To Come

Cows (12) When it comes to milk, some smart guys in lab coats discovered that if milk was sold in a box-shaped container, it would cut costs.  Costs get cut right from the get-go where the milk gets processed, and then all the way to the store.  It’s such a huge big deal that it’s estimated that as consumers, we’ll save a mere 15 cents off every gallon.  Yippie!  Kinda makes you want to go drink more milk, doesn’t it?

Check out this clip on Yahoo! news.

Like all good things, I wonder how much the "outdated" milk jugs will be worth in about 10 years, and if anyone will collect them like the old-school glass variety.  Note to self…  Save the jugs for sale on eBay.

I wonder if this will make Andrea Barclay’s Team Of The Week

    Andrea - That’s right. I forgot you’re a teacher and have the summer off. I’m a little jealous, BTW.

    Story of my life Thomas . . . I’m on vacay for awhile and I miss the good stuff. I’ll collect old milk bottles for sure. I’m not even going to clean them out. I’ll pass them onto my grandkids.
