Pencil sized plastic bags of milk

dairystix.jpgA battle is raging in the august columns of the Times today about the benefits of those little pencil-sized plastic bags of milk which are served with coffee on trains, planes and in cafeterias, versus those of the tiny plastic pots of milk which were previously ubiquitous.

 

Columnist and former Conservative MP Matthew Parris finds it hard to decide between the two of them, pointing out quite accurately that they are both devilishly hard to open.

 

It's an easy choice for the Blog, once we read the manufacturer's claim that the sticks of milk contain 50% less plastic than the little pots - as if this is a good thing!
