The containers used for a gallon quantity of milk have been much the same for over 25 years, and probably longer. The squat plastic jug replaced the glass gallon jug sometime in the 1970s and has been a familiar sight in stores and homes throughout the nation and beyond. These containers were reusable after their contents - be it milk, juice, beverage, or water - were consumed as funnels, storage containers, weights with gravel and sand for outdoor purposes, or any number of other applications created by individuals. Now it a change in packaging is on the way and the new containers will sit taller, be less wide, and be sturdier. These will make shipping, delivery, and stocking of milk and other beverages in these new containers more efficient and cost effective. The change also means the end of the venerable milk crate, a part of the dairy industry for generations and an easy product for consumers to use for storage and even display of household items of all kinds. Look for an industry wide adoption of this new packaging within the next year to two throughout the nation which will also mean new display shelving and materials for these products in stores throughout the nation and beyond as well.=
