For people used to milk in jugs, how do you keep it from spilling/bursting? (lemmy.ca)

Hey Lemmy, I recently moved from Ontario, land of bagged milk to BC where they don't.

So for the second time since moving, my fresh unopened 4L jug of milk made a small puddle in my fridge before opening it. Does anyone have any tricks to prevent that from happening?

Do I just have to enjoy a fresh glass right after returning from the grocery store?

Maybe they open it right away and then put the cap back on? That's the only thing I can think of

I usually don't open the seal&cap until I'm going to use it for the first time. After a little bit is used, there's no way it should be spilling unless you juggle with the jug.

If it's spilling even without opening it, there's something wrong with that brand of milk

I've got some leads, maybe bring it back on the bus vigorously shook it, and my fridge cooling might be on the strong side, and I stored it sideways right after buying it sometimes.

I'll admit I was a little drunk yesterday when posting this, so I was getting my fellow members to do some critical thinking for me.

My bet is on storing it sideways.
