OK, so they've redesigned the milk jug. Here's a picture of what the new Milk Jug looks like. Well, it's flat on the top...has a big spout...but otherwise, it just looks like a regular pitcher, right?
Well, let's look at the Pro's. These jugs are stackable. Which means you don't need to make milk-crates. Saving energy and supplies. Better for the environment. Since they're stackable, and no milk-crates are needed, you don't need as many people to work on packaging and stacking, so it cuts down on labor costs. Thus, it makes the milk cheaper. Well, with the way the price of EVERYTHING is skyrocketing because the corporate pricks are jacking up the price of oil (see my previous post about why the high oil prices are BS!), why not save a little cash anywhere that we can...right???
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Because people are bitching and moaning about the newly designed Milk Jug!!! (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/30/business/30milk.html?em&ex=1214971200&en=5f5a4defc21ec64e&ei=5087%0A)
They say it makes a mess to pour it. I even watched one news segment (I think it was Good Morning America), where the female reporter complained because, "I don't like how heavy it is". HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO??????????? A gallon of milk weighs 8 pounds! Add, what...2 ounces for the milk jug? Maybe 3? It still weighs 8 POUNDS!!!!!!! Give me a break!
Don't get me wrong...I'm the king of fearing change. But if change is something so nondescript as me having to use a new milk jug, that costs me LESS MONEY...then count me in! I dunno...maybe it's just me.
Let's see...I haven't written in a little while...so what else?
Oh...it's been 2 weeks since we've heard anything from Arlen Specter! I'd hate to think that he's trying to solve all of the problems facing our country, and I'd much rather believe that he's coming up with a new way to try to convince Congress to skip their Summer Break to investigate the New England Patriots! Someone dared ask the question as to why Specter is so interested in steroids and Spygate, but he hasn't given any public attention to NBA ref's throwing playoff games. Hmmmmmmm...must be $$$ involved. Not to mention that it didn't affect the 76'ers, so why would he care??? (http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/25212888/from/ET/)
