Hey Lemmy, I recently moved from Ontario, land of bagged milk to BC where they don’t.

So for the second time since moving, my fresh unopened 4L jug of milk made a small puddle in my fridge before opening it. Does anyone have any tricks to prevent that from happening?

Do I just have to enjoy a fresh glass right after returning from the grocery store?

That’s what I’m used to… but I’m buying a 4L jug now that I’m in the Vancouver area… and two separate jugs weeks apart have spilled the morning after buying them both times. Yet after I use the jug, it doesn’t spill after that.

Pour the milk into a 4 L pitcher?

Two weird questions. What’s your fridge set at and how far away do you buy your milk?

It’s pretty common in grocery stores and during shipping for milk containers to break, jugs or bags. I’m wondering if perhaps your fridge is set too high and your store is close enough that when you put the milk in your fridge it would be the coldest object, causing condensation which makes a puddle of ‘milk’ that is washed off the outside of the jug.

Maybe? It’s weird that it doesn’t ‘leak’ after you open it.

Fridge is set to 3/5, but to me it feels a bit colder than a typical fridge, I don’t have a thermometer. You might be on to something there.

My grocery store is 15-20 minutes away and I take a bus a short ways.
