Do You Drink from the Carton?

Ask a Question

That's a thing, but how common is it? Do you do it?

I kind of do, but it's my own *bottle* of water (1.5l). Drinking milk from its box/carton just seems weird, though.

No because I would end up spilling it on my clothes and then have to change.

No! There's always the 'backwash' to consider and as much as I love everyone in our house this would be as bad as double dipping. 🤢 😄

I never drink from a can of coke for example since i heard someone died when a stack of cans had rat urine on them in storage, i always wash and pour into a glass

Bottles of water etc I do, I don’t share them!

Milk and cartons, no as they get shared.

I drink from my own bottle. But I used to go berserk when my son drunk directly from the milk carton as I was concerned he had contaminated the milk.

I think it's a yucky habit so definitely not...I suppose if it's only you and you're going to finish the contents in one go, then maybe, but not for me.

I used to as a child but now an adult can't believe I did it as I shared the carton with my parents

I have seen people do it, a lot on tv and I think it is disgusting. If you live on your own thats up to you but sharing is a definitely no. Doesn’t look nice either.
