My idea is to make a milk jug that is a similar shape as the current, standard 1-gallon (or perhaps 1.5 gallon) jug, but is divided into two halves. Yup, that's it. That way, milk providers could sell it for only slightly more than a standard gallon, and people who normally buy a half-gallon can buy
a whole gallon. Since milk usually spoils quicker after it's been open (and especially so with ultra-pasteurized organic milk), this would be a way to save money for the consumer.

Are you sure about the spoilage only after it's opened thing? |
|

I do like the idea, though. Another way to approach it is to have the milk in a thin flexible bladder somewhat like those baby bottles. |

I've found this is usually the case - this is especially in regards to Horizon milk, which often has dates nearly a month after the sale date, but (like any milk) goes bad after about a week after opening. It's awful expensive, though. |

Opening exposes the milk to bacteria outside and hastens spoilage, doesn't it? |
|

Fairly sure? Go buy some milk and don't open it for three weeks and let us know what happens. |

How hard would it be to make the plastic milk container change color when it reaches the spoil point?
They are making DVDs that self destruct after 24-48 hours upon opening. Seems like a milk container with even something simple like a test strip would be doable. |
