Those milk containers were in the NYT yesterday... what I don't get is
how they say that the milk will be 'fresher' because it takes a few
hours less to package it it up and deliver it to the stores - but
they'll only be delivering milk to the store once a week instead of
every second day... seems to me that it'll only be 'fresher' if you
get to it on the day it's delivered, otherwise it'll be just the same
or older!
