    Perfectly obvious.

    Larger opening so more milk poured so more milk bought so more money to farmer so more guinness and cabbage farts.

    It might be great for people with arthritis or who have difficulty using their hands.

    OP you need to do two things.

    1) Go to the supermarket more often, those have been around for a long time.
    2) Find something more interesting to read about on your Thursday night.

    That's a fairly horrendous solidworks rendering for a finished product.

    Seen a screw cap on many of them type of cartons before.

    If it is only one screw to open then it would be less secure if only one thread is keeping it closed.

    About 1/4 of a turn. Saves you time opening your milk in the morning. Think of the extra time in bed

    Ok, free to proceed with the marching band, Avonmore have moved into 21st Century.

    Can't see why they need a big marketing spiel to proclaim this, but hey thats why I don't work in Marketing.

    Avonmore already have screw caps, but these are different

    It's like trying to spot the difference with a hyperactive blind pup on this thread.

    I have aged and dodgy hands and I find those screw caps very difficult to remove, I have to get a tea-towel or something to give more grip.

    It incorporates an innovative new system involving the cap being slightly bigger than existing screw caps.

    I remember when milk came in a big, 700 or 800lbs fleshy bag, with a smaller bag attached, and you had to prod it just in the right place just to get a little squirt of milk out of it.. and then it was warm and tasted like ****.. and you had to watch out for the bag at that.. it had legs with feet on the end that could kick you if you weren't careful

    and some of the bags didn't have the same little bag hanging out of them.. they were the ones you really had to watch out for..


    That's why I switched to soya milk.

    A really clever marketing plan would be to lower their prices and quit wasting money on pointless "innovations".

    My milkman brings all my milk to the door
    And I'm like
    "Is it Avonmore?"
    And I'm like
    "Can I have some more?"
    And he's like
    "No."

    the older one was like this


    http://www.shelflife.ie/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/dairy1.jpg

    you had to screw of the cap and then underneath the cap was a little thing you had to pull kind of towards you and then sideways....... and half the time it would just break when you pulled it....... meaning you had to go at it with a knife etc.

    They were a pain in the bollix

    You can still get pints of milk in glass bottles in JC Savages in Swords.
    I've been drinking Avonmore's 3% Super Milk for the last 10 or so years and I once decided to try the bottled stuff on a whim one day.
    There's a very noticable difference- the bottled stuff tastes richer, creamer and generally much nicer.
    Must nip down to JCs and get a few bottles as I'm kind of sick of the 3% stuff at this stage even if does perport to have more vitamins.. :/

    I remember that Damon albarn short documentary about that dancing milk carton and the zombie tins and all that. That's what bovine growth hormones do to ya. You can't buy a carton of water now can you. Its all marketing and allergies from drinking the effluence of lactating beasts. Uniformed consumers making irrational choices. And Fred flintstone drank dinosaur milk everyone knows that. Unless you deny evolution. Milk on tap is next. Direct debit billed to avonmore. You could have a milk shower.
