We had those in Vancouver, too, which came from a dairy in the Greater Vancouver Area. I used to get fancy milk on payday and keep the bottles for crafts, away from the recycling bandits. They love them because you can get like a dollar back, per each.
Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs
generic_computers@lemmy.zip 2 days agoI’m in Western NY, the “fancy” milk comes in glass bottles while the “store brand” is in these plastic jugs.
I buy non-dairy milk though which comes in cartons.

I’ve never seen a glass bottle of milk outside of old movies, around here it’s plastic jugs and the “fancy” stuff comes in cartons
So this is how I find out I’m poor…

A lot of the glass bottle companies also recycle the bottles, so that you can swap your existing glass bottle for a new bottle and they’ll take your old one back. It adds a little bit of logistical complication to the stores that deal with it, but it could be useful if you’re really trying to reduce plastic usage and you drink a lot of milk.

We have one particular brand here that does “Milk, ice cream & more” that has their milk in glass bottles. It’s this ridiculous super premium thick milk, I get some of the chocolate sometimes.
I think it’s about $6per (half gallon/4pint) which is considerably more than average but it’s like drinking chocolate ice cream.
