I guess Sam’s Club and Costco are starting to stock these, but I haven’t seen them yet. They’re more boxy and according to consumers, harder to use. The idea is that the new jugs are better for the environment, cheaper to ship and ultimately, cheaper for consumers. Those consumer’s aren’t giving the product rave reviews though.
The jugs have no real spout, and their unorthodox shape makes consumers feel like novices at the simple task of pouring a glass of milk.
“I hate it,” said Lisa DeHoff, a cafe owner shopping in a Sam’s Club here.
“It spills everywhere,” said Amy Wise, a homemaker.

Oh sure, you can argue, who needs that much Pepsi…especially when I would stop at the Circle K twice a day or more, but I’m craving it right now. The cheap styrofoam cups, the crushed ice, and being able to pull three quarters out of my pocket and get a pop. I almost got out of my truck and did a victory dance when I accidently found a Circle K in Ann Arbor near the Big House. That was an exciting day. We used to have Polar Pop runs at my last place of employment. It’s actually pretty sad. My boss was on a first name basis and almost to the point of friends with the clerk at the Circle K in East Peoria, IL he went in there so much. I got to know the overnight guy when I would go to work at 3 am and needed that caffeine fix. I don’t know how something so simple can seem so important, but I really, really, really want a Polar Pop. Circle K….come to Lansing!
