I always loved the song “Nitro Burning Funny Cars” by the Dead Milkmen. There’s a line in that song that I’ll paraphrase… no one will ever write a song about nitro burning funny cars. The same could be said of milk crates - but Franklin Bruno did write that song–thank goodness.
I stumbled upon this young company that makes music, apparel and bongs sorry, I mean glasswear. Check out Milkcrate Productions.

I know this should be a simple question to answer. There is some history here. In the 70s they changed the size of milkcrates, and milk gallon jugs because people were stealing milkcrates at an alarming rate. LPs fit perfectly in the older sized crates. The new crates still accommodate records, but you have to put them at a slight angle. Not as sweet, but still quite functional. But, then CDs took over, so the issue was moot.
Anyway, enough of the history lesson, the kids over at TribalWar (a gaming blog) discuss this in the forums.
