"Our other sizes of milk cartons, litre and two-litre packs, will not be
increasing in price and they represent 87 per cent of our liquid milk sales.
Pints only represent 13 per cent of our business," Mr Patton said.
He said the argument that those who purchased milk in pint cartons did so to
prevent milk going off, were wrong. He said a litre of milk would remain
fresh in a fridge for seven days.
Of course, for us in the States getting a half-liter for a pint price would be a price decrease!
In my house a liter of milk lasts about three hours (two teenage boys) so the question of freshness does not matter.
