Horizon Organic Reduced Fat Milk, 8-Ounce Aseptic Cartons (Pack of 18)

This product is a lifesaver when our family is on the go. Having a shelf-stable, nutritional drink for our kids makes it easy to take long road trips and not have to stop in order to get the kids some milk. It also comes in handy when we visit some amusement parks, the zoo, and other attractions where they do not always have milk available. The price is very reasonable considering the shelf life and portability. We highly recommend it.

This item is pricey, but paying more for the convenience is definitely worth it. It does not need to be refrigerated, so it is great for traveling - when cooler space is at a premium. You can just put in a carton or two at a time and replace it as you use it. The flavor is slightly different than regular milk, but not unpleasant. It comes with its own attached straw for drinking out of the carton, or it can be poured out into a glass or cup. It is a great product.

This product does not require refrigeration, so it is easy to store and to take on travels this summer - just pop it in the cooler a little before you need it - chills down quickly enough. The individual serving is also great for me as a diabetic (or anyone requiring strict dietary awareness) for carb counting/etc.

If you are looking for small portions, then I suppose this is the convenient way to go. However, it doesn't make much sense financially. A gallon of milk is 128 ounces, and costs between $4-$8 depending on brand and location. With these, you get a whopping total of 144 ounces of milk, and pay $22 for it? Save yourself the expense, and use a thermos.

Okay, ordering milk by mail sounded a bit strange at first, but I am so glad I took the chance. My three year old has lots of idiosyncrasies, and some deal with certain smells. I can't tell you how much Horizon milk I wasted using regular cups in which she could smell the milk. With these cartons, I don't have to worry about her smelling anything, and she drinks the entire carton. She loves it. Also, I love the fact that the milk doesn't have to be refrigerated until ready to drink. I have searched many stores for small cartons of milk to take to a baby sitter, but the closest I ever found was vanilla or chocolate milk. I wanted just plain milk. This is it, and it is great!
