It\u2019s basically the jug\u2019s pressure relief valve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, it acts as a <strong>shock absorber.<\/strong> If the jug is dropped or squeezed, the dent flexes to reduce the impact \u2014 helping prevent cracks or spills. It\u2019s a small, genius detail that protects your milk every day without you even noticing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So next time you grab that gallon from the fridge, take a closer look.
