    …yyyeees, but I was also a lot cheaper and used a lot less fuel because the plastic was far lighter to carry around than glass.

    How that balances out, no idea, sorry… I’m hoping it was better but may have been due to plastic subsidies or something equally evil

      That’s what they told me when I was a kid - and now I live in a country where 20% of the population can’t even afford milk. So I have to ask - cheaper for whom?

      been due to plastic subsidies or something equally evil

      Don’t know, but it sure did allow the big supermarket chains to monopolize the dairy supply business.
