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?

Wtf are you talking about? Return the milk because the container busted.

If you take a typical 4L jug of milk and lay it on its side in your refrigerator without first making sure the lid is tight (right from the grocery store), it can and will slowly leak. I see this all the time. We buy a new 4L jug before the opened one is empty (kids go through a lot) and there's no room in the fridge to stand it upright.. The place we can fit an upright 4L jug is already occupied by the opened 4L jug, the applejuice box, etc.

So... it's not normal procedure to buy the new jug and just before we lay it on its side on the fridge shelf we check the lid is tight.... and no leaks.. forget and there's a small puddle in an hour or so.

Don't do that then. Easy solution: your fridge is too small.

Idk, it's just something that happened twice of 3 jugs I've bought in the last month. The cap twists off with the snap like it's normal...

Could be bad jugs, they are thin wall blowmolded and pinched off at the bottom. Could be a small sliver of a crack at the bottom. I have only ever had one leak in decades
