Milk Containers

Would you like paper or plastic is a question most of us are familiar with in the grocery store check-out line, but that question is now being tossed around by dairy producers. It’s come to their attention that kids don’t care for the taste of wax they get from those little waxed board cartons that school milk is served in; they prefer plastic re-sealable milk containers. As a child in school I used to ask for a glass for my milk; of course this didn’t go over well, and I was shooed on my merry little way while the other kids rolled their eyes. Little did I know, I was just ahead of my time. Kids now days are not shy about what they like or don’t like, and the grownups are listening. In California they have started a “New Look of School Milk” campaign. Kids also sited that with the re-sealable plastic milk containers they can take their milk with them and finish it later; something that is really hard, if not impossible to do with the standard wax containers. I’ll have my milk, without wax please.
