They say that you shouldn’t cry over spilt milk, but I think there might be cause to cry when it is from a poorly designed bottle.

Pauls Milk has a 3 litre bottle which maintains their design of keeping the spout in the centre (in fact, it might be just off centre in the wrong direction. Unfortunately this results in the milk spilling down the side of the container, especially when the bottle is full.

Recently we purchased Coles Milk and I noticed that their 3 litre bottle had a different design. The spout is noticeable further forward and is longer to promote a more even flow. It didn’t spill a drop, even when full. It was simply better designed. It even had a more comfortable handle.

I’ll be putting up diagrams explaining the problem more fully soon.
