Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs

I always believed that it was to allow for expansion of the product when it freezes. I often freeze similar jugs full of water, to use in coolers, and that big dimple always ends up pushed out after it’s frozen solid. If it hadn’t been for that expansion dimple, the jug would have split.

Milk is ruined if it is frozen.

I hate milk, so I never drink it today, but as a kid, I drank a lot of thawed milk. My mom always bought two gallons, and froze one while we used the first. It might not please a milk connoisseur, but it always tasted fine. It certainly wasn’t spoiled, or anything like that.

It causes the fat to separate. Maybe she got skim milk?

1-2%, so I never noticed any separation. I always shook up the milk whenever I used it on my cereal anyway. Probably still would, if I ever was to use milk for something.
