Plastic jugs let in lots of light, while paper cartons are opaque, which could have an effect.
FWIW, I do have a preference, I think milk is best drunk straight from a paper carton (in single servings, milk from the plastic "milk chugs" has always tasted worse to me).
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoTrue, but stores generally don't get any natural light in their fridge sections. Over here (NL), most milk is only on shelves for a day, they cart in new batches daily. We err, go through a lot of milk.
- da768 5y agoSome store fluorescent bulbs produce enough UV, 24/7, to make printed boxes fade away, and turn plastics brittle and yellow. It's not as strong as full sunlight, but it's still there nonetheless.
- jrootabega 5y agoEven visible wavelengths, especially from fluorescent/LED lighting, can skunk beer. So it's not impossible that this could happen to milk, for whatever that's worth.
- MomoXenosaga 5y agoMilk is a sacred part of Dutch diet to the point that vegans had to find ways to create plant based milk.
