Don't worry, someone will design a gas tank that takes babies soon.

Forget worries about $4 gas ... now it’s $4 milk

$3.79 a gallon. I hate putting the stuff in my shopping cart. I don't even like it, but it is kinda necessary to have.

I haven't drunk milk in quite a few years.

Maybe that Monsanto Bovine Somatotropin hormone stuff is what's makin' some of you guys so crazy.

Drink up!

I concur Sarge. Gasonline is cheaper than milk by the gallon. Wonder if it would taste good with cereal?

Ya know, the price of beer is going through the roof. I care more about that than milk. There's enough Milkman powdered lowfat to last a lifetime. No such thing with beer.

I also add that though this article touts weather, what I have also read is that it's because the farmers are growing less hops because they are all planting inedible corn for ethanol -- King George screws us AGAIN!!!

128floz in a gallon = 10.7 bottles or cans = 2 growlers.

Thank got it doesn't take a couple of gallons on milk just to get to work, then a couple of gallons to get home again, or twenty gallons to go see grandma.

I'd probably get my arse kicked for trying to sneak that jug in the house.
