Silly question i know Why are milk (gallon) containers shaped like that?!
Answers: i was really bored today and i was wondering why milk containers are shaped like that, i know why the caps are different colors but whats with the container !? ( the plastic ones )
it used to be sold in glass bottles... but then they had to make crates to hold 4 gallons thus giving you the shape of the plastic jug
the shape of the crates they are in...and the handle is there to help pour the milk since they are so big and heavy (obv.).
How would you like for them to be shaped?
Square and rectangular containers can be packed together closer.
You should remember that for when you need to freeze food in containers. (liquids)
