I noticed some square jugs at the supermarket the other day and dismissed them. What's next? Square watermellons? But skepticism aside, this would probably have been a good opportunity to switch US consumers over to metric measurement since the odd shape would have helped mask the change. You know, get people used to the idea of buying 37 deciliters of milk instead of an antiquated "gallon." ;-) // jeff . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
