There is a circular indent on the side of almost all plastic milk jugs, but why? Is it merely ornamentation? Does it aid in figuring out expiration?<\/p>\n
It might have gone unnoticed by some. According to a recent social media post that received hundreds of responses, \u201cMost people will go their whole lives without ever knowing what the circular indent on the side of the milk jug is for.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to one Facebook user, Cory Anderson, \u201cthe milk is going bad when it pops out.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to a different social media user, the indent may be related to the carton\u2019s capacity to expand in cold weather.<\/p>\n
According to Andrew Serpico, a Facebook user, \u201cthe bubble gives the milk somewhere to expand to so it won\u2019t bust the carton if you freeze it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The indent, also known as a mold, is more than just a fashion choice, according to The Dairy Alliance, a group that advocates for dairy products and information about the dairy industry. It makes the container sturdy enough to hold the milk inside and aids in regulating how much milk is put into the jug.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, spoiled milk has nothing to do with the indent.<\/p>\n
According to the Dairy Alliance, \u201cthe indent wouldn\u2019t pop out because the milk\u2019s age is just a little too old, even though such an invention would be helpful in a world of confusing dates on food packaging.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
