Why the hell shouldn't everything be well designed and work as well as possible? There's absolutely no reason why cheap and well-designed can't be one and the same. It takes creativity, ingenuity and a desire to make things better, not a lackadaisical attitude like that. Joost: I think that’s a horrible way to think about things.

No one is going to buy more or less of it if it's in a different container, so why not just make sure it's cheap to transport?

Milk either comes in cartons, or more often than not, IN BAGS. In many countries, industrial design is an engineering degree :P

The new containers aren't the sexiest, but they could look cool with the right graphic treatment. The old ones can spill too, but we've learned how to use them. The pros of the new jug seem to outweigh the cons, so until someone designs a better one, I'm for it. It’s funny how personal this topic is to everyone.

Although the biggest we have is a 6-pinter... Standard british milk containers are rounded yet fit very well together for transport (I used to work in a supermarket).

My roommate bought this jug of milk one time and it took me a week to drink from it thinking it was some jug of industrial glue, or something of the sort. It is true, they do spill. The opening is not very awesome. Milk should be sexy, they should have let the method design team take a whack at it and come up with something just as efficient but less clunky.
