Now, I’m not saying you’re going to win a trivia contest with that little nugget, but when you next reach for a jug and catch that little dent in the side, tip it a nod. It’s not some random dimple. It’s engineering genius cast into plastic.

And hey — if you ever find yourself at a party where the conversation dries up, just slip in the words “Did you know the dent in a milk jug can be used to detect spoilage?” Instant attention. You’re welcome.
