I rarely see the cardboard cartons anymore, all the brands have
switched to plastic and those have handles. A lot of older folks had
trouble opening the old cardboard cartons (even younger folks), the
plastic bottles are very easy to open. Tell your older friend to buy
the plastic bottles, the half gallon size is very user friendly. I
buy OJ in half gallons and save a bunch of those plastic bottles, they
come in handy of lots of things... good for gardening project, I use
them to carry water to my barn cat... when I find OJ in full gallons
at a good sale price I pour it into half gallon bottles, easier to
handle and fits the fridge better.
