A Design Crime – Milk In Plastic Tubes
i got my morning cup of tea on the Caledonia sleeper, with milk in plastic tubes.
A Design Crime – Milk In Plastic Tubes
I hope the young man, who first designed this abberation, is truly sorry for what he created.
I say young man, as nobody over fifty starting to feel the aches and pains of life would have created this design.
It was certainly a man, as any woman, who had worn nail polish, would probably have discarded the idea.
Years ago, when I chewed my nails, I certainly wouldn’t have been able to open these awful containers.
They should be consigned to the dustbin of history and I declare them a design crime.

I couldn’t agree more! I can’t open them either, or if I do the whole area gets sprayed with the milk. When we were clearing mum’s house and layer when mum was really poorly and I was eating takeaway lunches a lot, I would sometimes go to McD because their burgers actually taste good without those awful buns. Plain burger, GF fries and a bag of salad or carrot sticks was sometimes just what I wanted. But they do the milk tubes. After first few attempts at them I bought a cold drink or ate it in my car drinking my own bottled water.

I’ve started drinking hot chocolate, in case I get the sticks with tea.
If Premier Inn started using them, I’d use another chain.

I don’t like hot chocolate, it is too sweet. For me it is either proper coffee or water, or one or two of the read to drink juices are ok – there is a red berry one I quite like.
