The dairy we buy milk from now features an identical promotion on the rear panel and top closure (rear panel) of all of their gable-top cartons.

Given where the pour side of the gable is, and the fridge door side we keep our milk, and our family handedness, this creates an illusion where it appears that we have three identical open cartons in the fridge door when in fact we have half & half, whole milk, and 2% milk.

As a result, I feel insane every morning for about fifteen seconds.

I’ve considered using painters tape and sharpies, which are ready to hand in junior’s craft bin four feet away.

I’ve considered moving the milk from the fridge’s right-side french door to the left-side french door.

I’ve mostly just been frustrated though.

"I should post about how frustrated I get coping with this situation”, I think to myself, and then fail to remember to do, until just now.

What a weird impulse to have.
