No no, think of the marine life! How will the milk companies contribute to killing them if they do not use plastics?
But I must say, I prefered milk in plastic bags as they take up way less space in the fridge. Only thing I did not like is when you have to cut the plastic bag and the milk just goes everywhere...
Here in SG, they sell it in plastic bottles. I would prefer if they sold it in reusable glass bottles instead though...
Milk in the US used to be delivered daily in glass bottles.
Yep, saw that in the English movies and always found it fascinating! Never understood why they would require multiple bottles of "fresh" milk every morning...
As a brit I can tell you, the films over dramatise it... our milk man used to to 2-3times a week ans delivered pint bottles a few times, however they commonly drop the milk at midnight so by the time you get it at 6am (only really in summer months) the milk was warm and went sour really quick ... so we went back to supermarket milk

Perhaps I'm older than you, but I remember getting a pint or two daily, plus the occasional bottle of orange or apple juice and for special occasions, mineral water!

If you where getting milk daily, you must be "slightly" older than me ... even when I was a kid living at home it was a couple of times a week the milkman came

I wonder how early those people have to deliver the milk and news papers...

Wait, mineral water on special occasions? When the water supply is off?
I speak fluent sarcasm and broken logic. | I would agree with you, but thæn we’d both be wrong.

Back in the day, mineral water wasn’t available easily, shops didn’t stock it, so having this water was considered fancy. Folks would have bottles at parties etc so the non-drinkers.
Also, carbonated water was a long way from being available from the tap back then.

Oh! I always thought mineral water was always readily available, but if i think back to my childhood, I do not remember that being so either. But I do remember soft drinks being available all throughout though

WHAT! You get carbonated water from tap? Where?!? I only know of regular water (and hot water in some places) being available from the tap, and even then, you have to install your own infra to heatup the water.

Soft drinks were a bit limited though, it was Coca Cola or Pepsi really. No-one was going to serve Orangeade at a party.

I don’t because i hate the stuff, but you can install a tap that carbonates the water for you.

I still do this, delivered at 5am ish every morning Monday-Saturday. Usually about 8 pints on weekends and 12 on a Saturday
Bit of a pain at the office, the milkman delivers at a time reception is closed so I usually grab some in the local shop each morning for there!

Spec is proportional to length and girth.

What if it’s really girthy but very short?

Then you get unbalanced offer similar to those made by VirBot.
For example, 24 TB storage but only 4 TB monthly transfer.

Hmm, that spec is almost perfect for my needs, unlike my disgustingly fat, shallow penis.
