Have milkcrates gotten smaller?

[Skipper]

Because the last couple I managed to find were way too narrow to fit my records.

Can anyone suggest some other (inexpensive, preferably free) means of storing vinyl? Right now I have a ton just leaning against a wall - very bad!

Recycling Bins work...

But to answer your question... yes, they changed them years ago.

yup, they started to make 'em smaller cuz people kept stealing them for wax.

 

[Littlest Hobo]

Stop using the ones for skim milk!

 

[Katman]

Maybe you've just gotten bigger?

 

[PosTMOd]

No, milk crate haven't gotten smaller, and your vinyl hasn't gotten bigger.

It's just a mystery, up there with the Lock Ness monster, and other whatnot stuff.

perhaps the crates are moving faster than the vinyl is.

It's the CHOONS that have gotten PHATTER.

i've known about this for a while, but i think its hilarious that they started making narrower milk crates a few years ago to curb the DJ thievery.

is this true for only some milk crates, or is the change homogenized across the milk crate industry?

I believe it was actually back in the 70s they started making them smaller. The only ones that fit records these days are ancient (or recently re-made ala Play De).

my friend beatrice told me this was not the case and it's been an udder disaster!

beatrice is a fat cow.

Oh, good, now I can point out once more that a cow that gets an abortion is called decalfinated.
