A good friend of mine once spilled a gallon of milk in his car. If that ever happens to you, head directly to the car wash. Do not stop on the way. Once that milk smell sets in, it never goes away and it is not pleasant. According to the New York Times, milk spilling has become a big problem due to a change in the classic milk carton.
Wal-Mart and Costco are rolling out new milk jugs. The difference is that the new jugs are square and made of recyclable plastics. This makes them stack-able and compact in trucks and on shelves. These jugs are less expensive because of easier shipping and the elimination of milk crates.
The downside of the new jugs is that it is taking consumers some time to get used to them. People are having difficulty not spilling milk during the pour since there is no spout. Sam's Club has even been offering in-store classes on how to pour from the new jugs. I suppose you could always transfer your milk to a glass container with a spout if it were that much of a problem.
Have you tried the square milk jugs yet?

If I could improve upon them I would like to add a pump type thing (reusable/washable) so the lil ones could dispense their own servings into a bowl of cereal while I am asleep or trying to do 12 other things... Its a bit cumbersome for 4 year olds to deal with. Of course, so were the old ones. I used to just fill old baby bottles with servings for them to use... guess that still will work.
