There may be trouble ahead. Traditional milk jiggers and the newfangled milk sticks are shaping up for a duel now that dairy company Pritchitts has launched a campaign to get operators and consumers to support the aforementioned jigger.
It all kicked off after Matthew Parris likened the milk stick to "a leaking sow's teat" and called for a return to the jigger in his My Week column in The Times, 15 January 2009.
The jigger was invented in 1962 and Pritchitts says the pot is an iconic design and still doing what it was designed to do and doing it well. The stick format - already commonly used for sugar, coffee and sauces - is claimed by Dairystix to take up 40% less space than the jigger.
