Let's see, when I was a boy in the forties and fifties, milk came in
round glass bottles, a little later it came in square waxed cardboard
containers, still later yet it came in round plastic or square plastic
containers. (Well, sort of square, the squares had rounded corners.) Now
it's going back to square containers.

It's a conspiracy by the big milk producers to get us to buy more milk.
Yeah, that's it.
