TetraPack is what I always called all those liquid products that are sold
in what looks like a fancy cardboard box. It hasn't faded away, it's
readily available in the supermarkets here, including milk. It would be
my solution if I wanted milk on the shelf for an emergency, when I run out.
Now that I think about it, wish they made half-n-half in TetraPack, I'd
keep it on hand. If anyone does, I haven't seen it, but then I haven't
really gone looking for it either. I will now.

I see the TetraPacks for milk, juice, soups, tomato juice, etc.

I've seen hash brown potatoes in one of those. From a distance it looks
like a pint of milk. It sort of reminds me of the milk they had in
school (although those were half-pints, shorter cartons).

BTW, those cartons (school milk) were marked "homo milk". I was not
familiar with that, since we had low-fat at home. I didn't know any use
of "homo" then, so thought it was probably an advertisement "milk like
you should be getting at home".
