1. Do they still sell milk cartons?
I haven't seen any in a very long time except for chocolate milk and egg nog.

11. What does your milk come in?
I'm not just talking milk either. What about juice etc.

14. What about smaller quantities
If we buy 4 litres (gallon) it comes in a jug, but 1 litre or 2 litres (quarts) come in cartons. I only buy 1 litre at time.

16. I don't get that little.
We go through about 3-4 gallons a week.

The 1/2 gallon sizes come in smaller versions of these - and I think there are cardboard (or whatever they are) containers as well - but I never look for them.

18. I'm lucky to get through 1litre before it goes bad
a gallon would last me months (if it lasted that long)

21. It comes in a thin version of the gallon jug.
Or the glass containers.

Juice is good, juice is still cartonized. I don't know why I didn't think of that...

10. I do it all the time.
Between my partner and me, I am the only one who drinks milk. Why dirty a glass when I only want a drink? :-)

12. Another one who lives alone here
But I don't ever drink out of the carton/container. I will sometimes drink from my water jug though.

15. I used to when I lived alone
I don't now, out of consideration for my wife.

I was pretty disgusted when I saw my brother in law drinking from the milk jug when I was staying at their house (the very milk jug that I had earlier had a glass of milk from).

20. I did when I was a kid
however, after grabbing a carton of sour milk at my aunt and uncles house and gulping down a big swig, well, it broke me of that pretty fast.

27. I drink everything straight from the carton or bottle.
I'm too lazy to get a glass and it's only me alone in the house, so it's not like I am spreading any germs.
