The milk inside the jug is just fine. My review is more about the jug. Yes, it's an odd shape to get used to. After my first gallon, I was good to go. You just have to be more aware when pouring. Years ago I watched a documentary about packaging and how we pay extra for convenience. The standard milk jug was one of those things. I'm certain by using this design Sam's Club is able to get the milk to us a little cheaper. The average adult should be able to use the bottle just fine. I think it wouldn't be user-friendly for arthritic hands or for households with kids under 10.

Can someone enlighten me as to how to open these things? I couldn't pull the seal off by hand, so I used a pair of pliers and ripped the tab off in the process. The only way to open these bottles is to pry them open with a knife risking cutting yourself and having fragments of the tab fall into the milk.Why do they make these so hard to get into? Don't tell me for safety, because gagging on pieces of the "safety tab" is just as bad.

I’m 76 and have arthritis in my hands so trying to OPEN this ridiculous lid is a joke!! I just end up knocking my knuckles on the raised handle!! Please, designers, go back to your drawing boards. The MILK inside is fine, however. Anyway— is this lid supposed to keep children OUT?? Milk is ONE thing that I wanted my kids to get INTO!!!!

Just why? Why would anyone bother to redesign a milk jug? This design is horrible it spills all over and I don't like anything about it. There was nothing wrong with the standard milk jug that has been around for years. find something else to waste money on Sam's club and bring us back the old jug please!

I had the same problem a few times in a row so decided to write a review. Milk spoils at least 3 days before the best by date on the jug. Went to use some last night to cook dinner and it poured out in big chunks. This has happened multiple times lately and I'm not sure what the issue is with the milk at Sam's club.

Good milk, great price. Don't much care for the bottle design. We are having a harder and harder time unscrewing the caps. The cap on the last several are so low it's hard to get off... Two of us tried, finally the third got it off, but not easily... We got one the other day with no seal. I returned it... At times the seal is very difficult to remove.

Never in a million years could I imagine wasting time to write an online review for milk. Now that I'm reading other reviews, I'm not surprised at the dozens of other reviews complaining about the new milk jug design. For the last few months, I've tolerated the hard to open caps and drips/spills when pouring. But this morning, I was simply unable to open the cap on a new carton. Could not get fingers around cap to get a good grip. So, I head out to garage to grab the channel lock pliers, which allowed me to get cap off. No, I'm not a feeble senior citizen. But I would certainly feel sorry for those who are, especially if they don't have the required tool to open the carton. I assume Sam's/MembersMark did some savvy consumer research/testing before launching this brilliant design. Undoubtedly, there were advantages, most probably related to easier/more efficient packing/shipping of a carton that's a bit more square. However, amazingly, they seem to be ignoring the many customers complaining about frustrating design. So, while the milk is fine and at a very reasonable price, I'll simply do what smart consumers do to send a message: I'll buy my milk elsewhere. If enough consumers would do the same, our message may be heard by deaf ears.

If I could post photos, I would show how the underside of the removable aluminum seal in burnt brown due to over heating of the food grade adhesive used to seal the container. The issue I have with this is that it still fails to seal the container. I have milk all over my car in the trunk because the milk tipped over during transport. The injection blow molded container seams to improperly seal with the removable aluminum seal. The cap was stuck on tight, but that didn't prevent the leakages. To the manufacturer of the injection molding system (specifically the trim die for the nozzle): You NEED a clean cut in the HDPE nozzle to create a good seal. The seal and cap need a continuous flat surface to seal against!!!! Either the die/cutter is dull or the trimming process needs to be redesigned to enable clean cutting/trimming of the threaded nozzle. Please, fix this. If other manufacturers can get it right, I know you can too. Get your act together.

This milk has a protective seal in which i did not realize it was broken. Upon putting my milk away, i noticed that the top was slightly opened. Upon further review, i did notice that the seal underneath the top was opened. Sams club refused to take care of this issue via chat and wanted me to take the milk into the club for a refund. During this time, these stores are super busy. I took a loss and wont be buying milk here anymore.

Milk was sour
