Why? It has a handle, yes? I shake my glass gallon jug all the time

Have
you ever had a plastic jug
Fail
Catastrophically?

I'll cry over spilled milk when it seeps into all the cracks in my kitchen.

No...what kind of jugs do you have over there?

It was a fluke, I'm sure. The seam split but I don't want to try again.
I usually give it a slosh for good measure.

 

[BoundlessLove]

Yes

 

[thecatumbrella]

Almond milk, so yes

Oh no. Am I supposed to be shaking my almond milk? Whoops.

Also, I once saw chunky milk being poured (glopped?) into a glass as a child, so this thread is borderline .

Annddd I just realized I'm eating large curd cottage cheese while writing this, so I guess my hypocrisy runs deep on milk products.

They don't sell cartons out here, at least, not in normal milk. Cartons are for "plant milks", buttermilk, creams, and nog.

I get milk in a plastic gallon jug. Of course you can't really shake it when it's full but after one glass or two I dump nesquik powder in it and shake the hell out of it and then again every time I get it out to get a drink.
Never had any issues.

Some of the jugs here would split if you just looked at them funny. When I was a janitor at a supermarket cleaning up after leaky milk jugs was a regular occurrence

They are plastic and not the good plastic either

It probably didn't help that my mom had the habit of buying it on sale. and freezing it. Thawed milk is...odd.
