It may be a good small step forward but the reviews on usability sure aren't good; I can't judge that myself since I haven't had the opportunity to use one yet. I think the best method was the glass bottles that were returned and refilled.

I would love to go back to the glass bottles! There is a packager in the Twin Cities that does organic in a glass bottle. That is what we use when we are there. I lived with my father when I in high school(Twin Cities). One of the milk companies still delivered milk to our house. Monday and thursday I would leave a cooler on the porch before school and come home to milk. It was great.

I purchased milk at Costco in the new jugs. No problem pouring the milk out -- and my husband was able to drink straight out of the jug with no problems, either! (Don't you hate when they do that?? But he's the only one who drinks the 2 percent, so it's allowed!)
A local dairy here delivers and also sells at the supermarket milk in glass bottles (deposit/refund upon return of bottle). But I don't agree with his political stands (he's run for several offices -- senator, governor, etc.), so I don't buy that company's products.

At work they've had the new jugs and I have noticed that they're a little more difficult to pour from with the neck part being so short, it also makes it harder for younger ones that have been able to use the regular jugs to pour from as well. Eh well, we'll all learn to use them. I much prefer the glass bottles too!

There was a report on these new jugs in my university's newspaper and it said that it was difficult to pour although very easy to store. I would definitely prefer to have the old glass bottles. That would be great!!

On our news they mentioned that if you pour by tipping without the jug bottom leaving the counter.... (hard to describe) that it will not spill.

I love how milk tastes in the glass bottles too. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. I am thinking about trying a home delivery service, we go through about 3 gallons a week, so it may be worth it.

I was wondering, how green can it be when they are still using plastic? I like the glass jugs but right now we use the cartons. Though I just ran across some information on using ultra-pasturized and was wondering about that because I buy organic and it says this on the label. Why do they need to ultra pasturize it if raw is best for you anyway?

I prefer it from the cow, to the glass gallon jar, to the pitcher set on the table after the cream has been skimmed.

Denise - the Ultra-pasteurization provides a much longer shelf life. Not exactly natural hunh?

I bet it would not make us happy to know exactly how long milk is out there before we actually consume it.
