Abstract: A jug for pouring liquids such as milk packaged in flexible rectangular pouches has a cross section and height such as to enclose the bag for its full height, the base of the jug being inclined so as to tilt the bag against a flattened front wall of the jug with a top corner projecting through a spout opening where it can be cut to form a pouring spout. The jug has a removable lid which is arched and has inturned side flanges which are pressed apart by out-turned side flanges at the top edges of the sides of the jug as the lid is pushed forward onto the jug so that the lid frictionally grips the jug. Rearward and downward pressure on the arch of the lid tends to force the inturned flanges apart and release the lid.
