We have them, its odd I bought one once. I live around KCMO.

I have no idea where that is. I'm from Jax Fl, the biggest city in the US, so that's probably the reason I've never seen one.

Sounds like hax to me. Hacker.

Well we do live in the matrix and all that. I mean the least I could do was stop myself from spilling good milk. lol. It's not like I'm flying or beating up armies of suits. lol.

This reminds me of what I did on saturday. There was some fly buzzing around beig a nusianace so I swung a stick at the fire not expectng to hit the fly but next thing you know I had hit the fly and sent it flying across the room like something from Dragonball Z, when I whent to see the fly (cause I had seen the fly going through the air at absolutly amazing speeds and managed to pin point the location of where it fell) it was dead. I was dumb founded. bouncing glass and mugs have happened to me too it allways catches you offcard.


The good news is you did'nt have to clean it up as milk (stink out the house if you dont clean it properly) and glass (cutts and general health hazzard) are a major pain in the arse to clean up.

Now I don't know if this is My jedi force power manifesting or if they started making milk jugs bouncy, but I'd like your thoughts.


Btw it was half full, fell from about three feet up, and bounced about two and a half back up, and nothing was spilled.

A couple things were at work here:

Quantity of milk still in container
Height milk was dropped from
Material of milk jug
Material of floor
(Some others too, but you get the picture)

The force of the falling milk jug was counteracted by the normal force exerted back by the floor. This force, plus the pressure of the crumpled half-full milk jug (at the moment of impact) created enough force to "push" the jug back up into the air at the specified height.

If you were to drop a marble or any hard object onto concrete, the object will "bounce" because the normal force from the ground exceeds that of the marble's traveling force exerted on the ground. Newton's Third Law is what's really going on here.

But seriously... Jedi, If that were me, the carton would have exploded and I'd be out some pretty sweet cereal action...

And Phil, I was thinking the same thing.

i concur with all of that statement XD

[Soldier By Name]

I probably should've mentioned that it landed on it's side, instead of the bottom, causing it to have a better chance of springboarding back, but I seriously thought the top was gonna blow off, and instead the jug was like "catch me quick, before I hit the ground again." lol.

[poopgod350]

and you saved the good milk's life you're a good man.

[Soldier By Name]

Haha thanks PG.
