You know what Costco really needs? A fucking engineer to design a milk jug that is efficiently stored in bulk and doesn't spill milk all over the damn place when I'm trying to make oatmeal.

Source: I Just spilled half the jug all over the damn place.

Milk bags?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_bag

Costco near Toronto (and maybe Canada generally?) sells vast amounts of milk packaged this way.

It's a Canadian thing.

They did come up with a more space efficient jug in 2008 and it was supposedly adopted by both Costco and Walmart. The same size shipping container would store 50% more milk. There is even a NYT article about it - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/30/business/30milk.html - but I only ever encountered milk in a container about half way between traditional and that design for one week a few years ago in my local Californian Costco.

Eastern Canada at that. I grew up in western Canada and was very confused when I moved east.

Yeah. I always wondered if they had actually tried using it.
