Makes skiing really hard. When I had my lasik done 30 years ago I needed a tuneup after a few months (another procedure). I have read multiple procedures are discouraged, so I have been looking into getting PRK, or photorefractive keratectomy next. I really like having 20/15 vision and having to use glasses to read is fine.Quote:

The milk carton was already the perfect container of dairy products and disseminator of missing child info, but some brainiac thought "what if it could also deliver plastic into whales' blowholes?"
The plastic insert certainly aids in sealing the container after it's opened. That was the only issue with the 100% paper design.
Yet miraculously the version without the plastic lid worked well for many decades.
Want to reshake the orange juice carton? Pinch the closure.
Seriously! The extra plastic is entirely unnecessary IMO. If I had it my way though, we'd go back to glass, reusable bottles with locally-sourced milk en masse. For large scale though, the old school cartons were totally fine. However, I don't think they were entirely free of plastics though since aren't the insides lined with a plastic coating of some sort?Quote:

Peak plastic was back in the 70’s and early 80’s when our store milk came in 1L plastic bags (that were packaged in another plastic bag containing 4L), dispensed in a tupperware holder. Thankfully we only got store-bought milk when the neighbour’s cow was being refreshed and the milk production was down.
You don't get that shmutz like you do on the paper lip when dealing with heavy cream boxes, etc.Quote:

May I join the wailings and lamentations for cheese loss? Fourme d'Ambert dearth is on the rise as well as the price of a decent sauternes.
Absolutely. The loss of access to great cheese is the sort of backwards move I do NOT approve of. :mad:Quote:

Infinite wisdom on display in this thread.
Gonna thaw a reblochon tonight in memory of the missing Fontina and Fourme d'Ambert.
I can't believe you people are bemoaning the loss of great cheese when Velveeta is still readily available.
Not to mention Velveeta doesn't even need to be refrigerated...

Gordon Food Service, perhaps? If you have one near you...
You are making me want to see if I can get ShopRite to sell me a brick of American cheese now. It shouldn’t be that difficult, considering they charge by the pound. Bringing it home that way would annoy my wife though.
Why would you let that stop you?Quote:
