Drinking from the milk carton?

[maryfrommaryville]

Crime punishable by death or no biggy?

I think I'm not being unreasonable.

My milk also comes in cartons (not in UK). I think it's fine if the drinker can finish the remainder of the carton in one sitting.

But it's not bottled shaped. Bottle is a shape.

Now the word doesn't even sound right.

"A bottle is a container with a neck that is narrower than the body and a mouth. By contrast, a jar has a relatively large mouth or opening which may be as wide as the overall container."

Hmm. Doesn't say anything about handles though. Bottles CANT have handles.

I was just about to google the definition of bottle in response but I think that is a sign that I have lost the plot! 😂

So it is a bottle then? Because the next is narrower. And the lid is definitely narrower.

Apart from maple syrup bottles that have tiny handles but they're still bottles because they're glass.

Anyway, I was the one caught drinking from the milk receptacle and dh lost it and went on a rant about how revolting I was.

No I think the handle negates the narrower top argument.

Milk receptacle 😂😆

Bottles. Bottles. Bottles. Bottles. Bottles.

Bottoms gosh it's late. And I've been up with DS waaaaaaaayyyyy too long.

Still.....

Bottles.

I've got this awful feeling I'm going to wake up with 100 mumsnetters yelling 'bottles' at me. I'll have bloody nightmares now.

If we're talking bottle nightmares perhaps worse than that you'll wake up and look out your front door and see a whole line of offended bottles lined up just staring at you. Creepy.

Mwah ha ha...

(That was supposed to be an evil laugh by the way)

I'd be bloody overjoyed! I have to drive half an hour to pick up the sodding post, milk delivery isn't in my wildest dreams.

I'm here to tell you all with good British authority that it is a carton. Or a pint.

Francix but pints in the US are different than pints here.

Not American no, British but In Australia. You can get both plastic containers and cardboard cartons ones here but you won't find the plastic ones outside of supermarkets (I use a farms delivery service)

Why is anyone, apart from babies, drinking milk? Yuk

But cartons are cuboid (except for egg cartons), so it's not a carton of milk if its in a plastic thing with a lid.

Unless you finished the receptacle of milk, ywbu to drink directly from it.

Egg carton???!! Eggs most definitely come in egg boxes.

Woah. Wait. US pints are different to UK pints?

Fuck.Off.

Omg they are!!!

No wonder every fucking recipe that calls for a pint has gone wrong! (I have a UK pint jug measurer that I brought with me.)

Seven years how have I not bloody noticed??????!! 😂😂😂

And the flow of cream at the top on your cereal. envyenvyenvy> not envy. That's why you shake the bottle before opening. Or you decant the cream to save for some purpose where you need cream

Definitely plastic bottles. A carton is made of waxed cardboard, and you have to tear or peel it open and fashion a spout from bending the cardboard. A bottle has a ready made opening with a removable cap over it.

Hmm. Doesn't say anything about handles though. Bottles CANT have handles. If you really believe that, then you'll have to say that milk comes in demijohns.

Eggs come in boxes, not cartons.
And milk comes in multiples of pints. So I have a 4 pint of milk in the fridge. That's what they're called. So there.
