#26: Milk with a Timer
We’ve all probably done it at one time or another: Gone to take a drink of milk, taken a nice big swig out of the carton (shh! Don’t tell the roommate) only to find that it has gone spoiled. It’s certainly not a pleasant taste to be welcomed with first thing in the morning (or any time of the day, really), that’s for sure.
Well, this packaging is designed to make sure this never happens to anyone again. Not only does it become beautifully decorated as time passes, but it’s meant to also show you that the expiration date is approaching. Once the bottle turns orange, proceed with caution – as it means the expiration date is around the corner. Now, if you decide to take a swig once the carton has turned orange, you’ve had sufficient warning of what you may encounter. We think it would just be time to grab a new carton.
