Tuesday afternoon milk carton blogging - 12:00
So no photos, and possibly not directly about milk cartons, though there is
mention of printing information other than missing person details on milk
cartons in this story. Kottke had a link to a news story about the
US
Dairy Industry Crushing an Innovator who tried to get around the
entrenched milk price fixing system in the US.
Maybe it is because I am a West Wing junkie or maybe it is because it is just interesting to see some of the ins and outs of the system over there, but it is a fascinating read into US politics as they relate to milk (and subsequently milk cartons (to tie in with this post)).
It does definitely seem the various big companies in the US Dairy industry have a lot of money to throw around, thus I am not surprised the guy who owns milk.com is holding out for serious offers to buy the domain only and is otherwise happy to use it for his own purposes. Good on him.

 Dutch Milk (fullsize) |
The milk is back, well actually the carton is back, there is no real proof that it currently contains milk. Who knows with the beer near by it may be a beer carton. (I leave it as an exercise for the viewer to work out which of the containers is more likely to contain which liquid under common circumstances). |

 UK Milk Carton |
I notice this milk still has English writing on it, thus it is not really
exotic for us Aussies. Though I guess it is at least real English writing as
it is from Kent in England. None of this Aussie or American English emblazoned
across the carton. You can probably tell it is milk from Ol Blighty just by
looking at the picture. They have green grass, if it were Australian milk and
they were going for a similar truth in advertising it would have to have a
field of brown grass or simply hay scattered on dirt I guess.
I guess with the rampant greenery it could be from Kiwiland, except the measurement is in pints, the Kiwis at least use metric everywhere. |

 New York Milk Carton |
This photo from around July 6th in New York has branding suggesting you consume the product 365 days a year maybe. I guess that is acceptable with milk, however I shudder at the thought of having a tall cold glass of cold pressed olive oil 365 days a year as the bottle of 365 olive oil in the background may suggest. |

Monday Edition.
Saw this link on BoingBoing today to reviews of the 1 Gallon jug of Tuscan Grade A Milk. Highly amusing, if you have a milk carton large enough to hold a Gallon (3.785 litres) of milk what would you do with it?
Now that amazon is selling groceries many people have started reviewing the groceries, mostly in a similar humorous vein.

 Exotic USAnian Milk |
Ahh my job here is done, my Milk Carton collection finally has an exotic foreign milk carton. Though maybe I had better not hang up my Milk Carton Blogging hat quite yet. This is USAnian milk, if you look at the enlarged photo you can even see where it says "Product of the USA". However this milk may not be exotic to people who live in the USA. Sure it is lactose free and probably healthy, but is it really exotic? Where are the rare birds sighted for the first time ever in the middle of a jungle? Where are the cannibals? Where are the belly dancing cowboys (okay so that would possibly be Kings Cross milk and maybe not terribly exotic either)? However I think you should all thank Andrew for this glimpse into the milk cartons of America. |

 New location for the magnetic cow |
The magnetic cow has migrated to the top of my monitor as can be seen in this web cam photo. |
