Your explanation doesn’t make sense to me. The dimple is in the center of the jug, how is it related to the level of milk there?

If the jug holds slightly more than a gallon, if you squeeze the sides, it holds less.

What are you saying? Are they trying to make it hold less? Hold more? Not following.

With plastic blown molds, especially when you make millions of them, there are going to be slight variations in the sizes. If the jug is too big, they use the dimple to reduce the volume of milk you can fit inside. The bigger the jug, the deeper the dimple. If you look at many jugs at the store, they will all be roughly the same diameter but different depths. Some don’t have any dimple at all.

Ah, this makes sense now. Sorry, English is the second language and it takes some extra processing to get things sometimes. lol
