What Are Your Rules?

cheeseface · Nov 30, 2005

I just finished off the last little bit of chocolate milk. I missjudged the timing when I tipped it up to my face, so it missed my mouth, missed my chin, missed the collar of my t-shirt and went straight down my chest all the way to the treasure trail. What a waste! It was the last gulp!

I don't drink from the carton much, so I gues I'm out of practice. Then it dawned on me that everyone must have their own rules for drinking from the carton in the first place. So... what are your excuses... I mean uhh... rules for drinking from the carton?

(Poll selections will magically appear when I shoe them in.)

Don't drink from a carton- drink from a glass-

lillekat · Nov 30, 2005

We don't have rules - If it feels good, or you're jsut too damned lazy to get a glass (or wash up after using one) then from the carton does just fine. We end to drink liters of milk at a time, so generally it doesn't get back into the fridge after it's been opened. We tend to sit in bed reading (yes, reading) and Rune will have a liter carton of milk on his side of the bed, and I'll have one on mine. Those two cartons of milk will never again see the light of the fridge. We tend to drink at least 14 litres of milk in a week. Sometimes more.

Costs a fotune, but it's all organic, so it tastes just gorgeous! Sorry Ryan, I've totally screwed up your poll results.

Sufice to say I just drink form the carton.

I did both. I finished my glass and then figured I'd pour the last sip from the carton straight down my throat.

Generally, I won't drink from the carton, only for the odd swig while I'm passing!

I'm not sure which pole choice to go with, but am VERY tempted to go for the religious reasons!!

Might add that one to me self created religion!

Although, the danger and challenge it presents is almost relevant to me, but I have more problems pouring into a cup (we have 6 pint flimsy plastic bottles!!)

jenni · Nov 30, 2005

I drink from the carton if i know i'm going to empty it. I'm always telling the kids not to do it and it would be a bit naughty to do it myself, lol. I still only finish the carton if there is no one looking aswell so they don't tell me off, lol.

wellingtoncats · Nov 30, 2005

I only drink from the bottle if there is a little bit left.

Ryan you are disgusting. There is NO drinking from the carton....ever, ever, ever...

Stay on the bottle then. Don't risk spilling that precious milk!

That is a ton of milk! What's the difference between organic and what I drink?

Do you mean soy? Some of that stuff is good too, but I haven't tried it in a long time.

lillekat · Nov 30, 2005

no the organic stuff comes from cows who haven't been anywhere near anything remotely man made. Literally, there are no chemicals in the grass, and there's a natural process too when it comes to pasturising and skimming etc etc. I know I read it somewhere, but everything from the cow to the packing is done in a specific way - and you can really taste the difference. Less like water and much more like milk

NO it's not soy, that stuff is vile! Bleck!

I don't drink from the carton, i'm a lady

scamperfarms · Nov 30, 2005

Once again, I see the funniest things when I don't take the time to really read them. I thought passing said something else at first glance and I wondered why you would take a swig of something while sitting on the toliet.

I never drink out of the carton.

turtlecat · Nov 30, 2005

I don't drink milk out of the carton, generally because we always finish it in either a glass or a bowl (we pour out by weight.) also because, Ryan, if I did, what happened to you would happen.

Forget the milk...I want to hear more about this treasure trail!

dawnofsierra · Nov 30, 2005

I sometimes drink from the carton of water or bottle of juice. I'm the only one who will end up drinking it except filling Sierra and Serenity's Drinkwell with the water, and they don't mind one bit.

marie-p · Nov 30, 2005

I drink from the carton because I live by myself (so nobody cares). Also because I hate doing dishes.

And sometimes I do it for religious reasons

actually, i rarely buy stuff that comes in cartons. i usually drink iced tea or water. howeverm i have had your problem - usually when there's like a swallow left in the tea pitcher, so i just decided to drink it... then end up pouring it onto my shirt. but since i live alone [except for the trio, who don't drink tea] i can choose to drink from the container if i want - so there!

rapunzel47 · Nov 30, 2005

On the whole I don't drink from the carton. I've been known to do it, though, if it's the last little bit, or if I'm the only one ever going to touch it -- that's usually bottled water or juice, though -- not carton.
