"Why do I have to buy a 3rd party milk jug" vs. "Why not just design the handle into a plastic jug I buy" - being just one of the points brought up. | |

| May 8, 2015 at 5:24 | comment | added | DA01 | I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is about reasons products are designed a certain way for reasons other than UX. | |
| May 8, 2015 at 4:01 | comment | added | user65802 | Why not just pour the milk in the jug? | |

| Mar 4, 2014 at 8:14 | comment | added | peterchen | @JoanVenge: laugh It's just a motor memory, awoken: standing there with a bag of milk lifted. You pick one bag from the bag/milk soup, pinching it at one corner, lifting it carefully as not to splatter milk over you. With all weight resting on one bottom corner, you try to figure out whether the milk dropping from it is from the outside or the inside - quickly, so you do not get stern words from the shopping courtesy police. Repeat for all corners. | |

| Mar 3, 2014 at 15:37 | comment | added | peterchen | No, consumer goods were almost completely replaced after the fall of the wall. Few products survived, and milk bags were not one of them - with one leaky bag in the tray, every bag looked leaky. I still have some nostalgia for the actual procedure of checking all corners, though. Plus, less garbage etc. | |

| Mar 1, 2014 at 8:28 | comment | added | Joan Venge | It has a novelty value. I used to have small water bags on buses but they were meant to be consumed at once, so it's not as bad. | |
| Mar 1, 2014 at 8:15 | comment | added | PatomaS | I have never seen that in any place that I have lived or traveled to. It's quite original for me, risky, but original. | |
