Whats the difference between that & existing ones?

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

My bad,

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.

What mad parents would let their children play on a giant sunflower?

The cool ones did. Many an afternoon of fun was played on the giant sunflower.

Can't believe you remember back that far, but seriously, your mama was fat!

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.

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."

You can't beat a good milk carton.

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

I like them a lot. Nice little change-up

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..

Gosh ....do you remember when the birds used to peck the top of the bottles.

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.

CrazyRabbit

God, am I the only one who still prefers to suck the milk directly from the cow?

I like that I'll no longer find those little white plastic hygiene seals all over my kitchen any more

Do you guys have milk in bags in Ireland?

Only when we're carrying it home from the shops

I haven't seen that done outside of Canada (not that I often have to buy milk in other countries!)
