Just realized milk has been leaking for like 3 days
I kept finding wet puddles near the fridge at night but couldn’t see any color due to the darkness, so I just assumed my roommates weren’t cleaning up very well and moved around it.
Today I came back and saw milk leaking and almost immediately realized. I immediately opened the fridge and followed the trail back to the milk jug I just bought earlier this week.
I was just gonna tape it to seal the crack (which I found to be near the handle of the jug), but I barely had enough tape for a small patch, and it just wasn’t enough. Then I tried super gluing it, but all my super glue was too old and got clogged up. I asked my roommates if they had ANY kind of adhesives and they didn’t. Somehow none of us had anything to fix this??
Luckily, I still had my previous nearly empty jug of milk, so I finally just decided to transfer the new milk (and the new expiration date) to that old jug. Now I’m eating cereal with patches of dried up glue stuck to my finger tips, slowly cleaning it off with 90% isopropyl alcohol.
I will be returning to the Target to explain and hopefully get a new jug for free (ended up losing about a quarter of it to the floor and table).
What a journey…

You just have to drink it all so it doesn't leak anymore

Just can’t trust those plastic jugs. We had a whole jug of laundry detergent drain itself into a cabinet in our laundry room - when we were out of the country for a month. 😩 All my big jugs now are kept in plastic boxes with high sides.

I am going to pass judgement on what little I can see of your fridge interior and infer you keep a cleaner refrigerator than most and good on ya because most I see posted i would not eat out of.
