This must've been interesting news, because I saw this very thing about
the square milk jugs last night on the local (or was it national?)
evening TV news yesterday. The news droids reported that there seems to
be a problem with these new square bottles (is that an oxymoron?)
because they're very ackward to use and cause inadvertent spillage when
the milk is poured.
