What, Milks have Lift n' Peels now?

Post image

I've never seen a milk with one of these. I mostly only see it on orange juice. Plus the container has a crack seal too. I guess it's for extra protection?

Very unusual

u/sumemodude 1d ago

Do you think its an error?

u/coconutpeach0101 1d ago

I've been buying milk from sams club for the past couple months and they've all had these lift n peel things now.

6

u/sumemodude 1d ago

Yeah it's definitely a newer thing

4

u/rockytoads 22h ago

I get like lactaid and lactose free milks and they all have the lift and peels

2

u/joey133 23h ago

Sam's has always had these I believe.

1

u/Rebeljah 16h ago

Probably not, I'm not sure how you would add a peel cap to a production line on accident

7

u/garbage-lord 1d ago

Yeah because the fucking “prank” streamers keep being gross with the food

6

u/mikewilson2020 1d ago

Been like that at least 20 years in UK

4

u/_Fl0r4l_4nd_f4ding_ 1d ago

Im 25 from the uk and they've been like this my entire life afaik

3

u/mikewilson2020 1d ago

We are living in the future 🙌

2

u/sumemodude 1d ago

Haven't seen that ever here in the US for the last 20 years lol

2

u/mikewilson2020 1d ago

Every milk brand and milkshake bottle has these and I can't remember when they did away with the tops you rip a strip off of? It's been that long

2

u/sumemodude 1d ago

Man that's so weird. We usually only have those on orange juice and similar products

1

u/mikewilson2020 1d ago

Have the bastards made ya bottle tops not separate from bottles now? Like on coke and Pepsi?

1

u/sumemodude 1d ago

I think so

1

u/imnotatalker 19h ago

No they haven't yet...

2

u/shut____up 1d ago

Wuh? I've seen milk come with these tabs for twenty years. I'm from California.

1

u/sumemodude 1d ago

Maybe only some states do it? I'm honestly clueless

1

u/irrationalhourglass 1d ago

Yeah, also in Cali and this post confused me. Never seen milk without it.

u/AdNo8756 1d ago edited 1d ago

Sometimes those crack seals can be bypassed. I've done it in accident many times when opening a jug. Look up "The Tylenol Murders" and you'll never want to buy an idem without one of those seals again! Here's a link explaining it https://youtu.be/X5GJlN1F6xQ?si=LuBc-sWqyzmdL-2W

2

u/sumemodude 1d ago

Oh yeah that's very true. Or that "prankster" who was spraying raid bug killer on and in food

2

u/jeniusjulian 4h ago

The Tylenol Murders is why we have tamper-resistant packaging, though. Before that, there were no seals on packaging.

1

u/AdNo8756 4h ago

That's what I'm saying. Before i learned about it i hated those seals but now I'm glad to see them

1

u/jeniusjulian 4h ago

I misread "without", thought you said "with" and was super confused. My bad!

1

u/AdNo8756 4h ago

All good 😂 I do that all the time

u/Big_Space_9836 1d ago

They've been in the UK for years.

2

u/sumemodude 1d ago

Interesting. Was there ever a reason?

1

u/Big_Space_9836 23h ago

Tamper proofing as far as I'm aware.

I mean, sometimes they're stuck so well that the only way to open them is to use something sharp to poke it :)

1

u/sumemodude 21h ago

Yeah no one will get into it for sure haha

2

u/Book-Faramir-Better 1d ago

Whoever invented the Lift-n-Peel can snort my taint.

2

u/VividStay6694 23h ago

I don't drink milk so there's that lol but I despise those things. I just can't do it. I end up having to use a knife

1

u/sumemodude 21h ago

Literally. Or pliers😂

2

u/CheesyBendito 21h ago

cries in milk bag

2

u/grambocrackah 19h ago

As someone who has stocked milk for a living, I'm very thankful for stuff like this. Unsealed milk bottles are messy and smelly. That said, it is an additional waste of plastic and we'd probably be better off with a bag system like Canada.

2

u/Emergency_Way7423 16h ago

I’ve never seen that before on milk jugs. That’s weird.

1

u/sumemodude 10h ago

That's what I'm saying

2

u/WorldsWorstTroll 1d ago

More wasted plastic...

u/Positive-Reference78 1d ago

lol negative nancy

3

u/deez_nutzzs 1d ago

those things suck dick anyways so it is a waste

1

u/irrationalhourglass 1d ago

They NEVER work the way they're supposed to. I always end up having to just pick at the edge.

1

u/BreakerSoultaker 1d ago

They come on the milk at my local Costco at NJ.

1

u/Ok_Nothing_8028 1d ago

You should be thankful

2

u/sumemodude 1d ago

I am, just seems interesting since it's the first time I saw this on a milk

1

u/DadWatchesWrestling 1d ago

I'm in Canada and the jugs have had them for years, and they're a bastard to remove sometimes

2

u/sumemodude 1d ago

Exactly. The orange juice was so bad already and now this😭

1

u/Stoogefrenzy3k 1d ago

Agree with you. I feel like I’ve been getting better at removing them when you kinda have to figure it out.

1

u/cherith56 1d ago

Oh hell

1

u/jemangetongrandpere 1d ago

In france we got aluminium under all milk bottle caps , arent yall scared someone drank milk and closed it and putted it back ?

1

u/sumemodude 21h ago

Ironically, no I'm not really worried in the slightest

1

u/jemangetongrandpere 13h ago

i had a friend that used to open all bottles that had no little lift n peel in the store to "taste" and then he just put it back like nothing happened

1

u/sumemodude 10h ago

People are so gross for no reason

1

u/Aware_Eagle6084 1d ago

Because of Tylenol - 1980s/Chicago

1

u/sumemodude 21h ago

Yeah but this is 2024 and this is the very first time I've seen it

1

u/Flat-Case-6776 23h ago

Never thought I’d see the day but ig

1

u/sumemodude 21h ago

For real

1

u/MellifluousSussura 21h ago

I think I’ve seen this a couple times when we buy a different brand of milk than usual. Was the top like a screw on or something else?

1

u/sumemodude 21h ago

It was the usual screw top. Also it was a Walmart milk

1

u/GummyGumBun 20h ago

I’ve seen this for years. I’d be shocked if they didn’t have them.

1

u/sumemodude 20h ago

Has Walmart milk always had this?

1

u/GummyGumBun 20h ago

I believe so? I’m sure it also depends on the area it’s been bought in and brand of milk.

1

u/sumemodude 20h ago

I usually get the Kroger milk so maybe that's why

1

u/barkofwisdom 20h ago

I’m in the US and the milks always have these. I get almond milk though now and they have a plastic ring pull tab

1

u/sumemodude 20h ago

Yeah the alternate milks always have those, but most regular milks don't

1

u/barkofwisdom 20h ago

Before I switched to almond milk, all the regular milks had the tab like your pic shows. I got my milk at either a small town grocery or Walmart

2

u/sumemodude 20h ago

Ah so it must be a walmart thing. Because the milk at Kroger has no tab

1

u/barkofwisdom 16h ago

That explains a lot! Where I live in the south, we don’t even have Krogers 😆

2

u/sumemodude 10h ago

For real haha. When I lived in the south, I didn't see them either

1

u/EntAtaraxy 9h ago

Seen those on milks for years where I’m at in US.

u/SANFRANGOON 1d ago edited 1d ago

Always has ..it so folks can’t put anything in it..these days social media has folks wildn so it’s a precaution

2

u/sumemodude 1d ago

Must be a newer thing
