[edit] Legal crates

Some people get their crates legally. One source is containerstore.com, though those don't seem to be as sturdy as the ones used by stores. (By the way, if anyone finds a legal source for strong milk crates, please let me know.) Jobarts^-Talk 06:37, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] vinyl records

12" vinyl records will not fit in a milk crate. There are other plastic boxes that they will fit in, however.

They fit in the old crates. Around the same time (at least here) as milk switched to metric, they switched from the old, rectangular crates to the square ones we get today. One rumour has it that this switch was partially motivated by people stealing the old crates to use for album storage, and the new design would preclude this function. -- RealGrouchy 03:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
