I really don't like drinking from cartons. The paper feels weird! I used to hate having to drink out of thoes little milk cartons at school when they wouldn't give us straws at school. Yuckie! Still makes me make gag! Ugh!

Primarily I drink from the carton because I'm the only one who is ever going to touch it, and why dirty a glass. I'm not all that lady like, anyway.

Orig. from Texas.. Currently in Minnesota (again)
i don't drink from the "jug" ever!! (we buy milk 2 gallons at a time every other day lol) sometimes i catch the boys drinking the last of the milk straight out of the gallon (ewwwwwww) cheyenne is too prissy to even think about doing something like that she takes her clean glasses out of the cabinet and then washes them again BEFORE she drinks out of them (yeah shes a snob lol)

NO it's not soy, that stuff is vile! Bleck!
As far as I'm concerned, the only acceptable way to drink milk is from the udder - and it should be the calf that's doing it. That's who it was produced for and if the calf wasn't taken away, against their will, from his/her mother while she was still lactating, that's the only creature that would be drinking the milk. Sorry to be soap-boxy in a light-hearted discussion, but it's something I feel VERY strongly about.

Although I am not vehemently against milk-drinking (although I do see that point), I don't drink milk. I do not drink ANYTHING from the container in which I bought it, unless it is a single-serve thing. Ewwwww germs and congealed spit...

My husband, on the other hand, does it whenever he can get away with it. Even when he uses a glass, he manages to get it all crusty and dirty. I don't get it. He's also the one who can take all the dirty dishes out of the dishwasher, put them all away, and not notice they're dirty! I guess he is just blessed with the gift of being unobservant.

But anyway, I yell if I catch anyone drinking out of any cartons or jugs in my house.

I always hated that too! I don't drink out of the carton, but hubby does it to annoy me.

I don't drink milk - I hate the stuff and besides I cannot drink it anyway


But otherwise, I don't drink from any carton or bottle, I am too accident prone anyway and its just not worth it for me to drink out of a carton.

Drink from the carton....why dirty a glass when I loathe doing dishes!? P.S. I don't backwash, at least I'm careful about that. And I wipe the spout after...

Ryan, Max wouldn't do it if he wanted to continue living in MY house...lol lol

We don't really have cartons in our house, actually. We drink soy milk only, which comes in a kind of boxy thing which would be really hard to drink out of, and we drink filtered water so that's in a jug, with cordial, so you have to mix it.

Reading back on that it sounds like we make this whole drinking thing pretty difficult for ourselves!!

Interested myself in the treasure trail! ...



oopps I mean:

Since it's only me and my BF in the house, I'll drink out of the container if its the end of the bottle, no one's looking, I don't want to dirty and/or clean a cup, and if I just darn feel like it. Though I don't drink out of anything we offer other people!

I chose that I drink from the carton because I like the danger and challenge it presents. Mostly the danger of doing exactly like Ryan did because I'm so terribly clumsy.

So, you admit to having a drinking problem? Trust me. Max would be drinking out of a carton if you bought them, even if you didn't catch him.
