This could get interesting.<br /><br />"NEW YORK (CNNMoney)<br />The New Year could push milk prices to $7 a gallon.<br />With Congress spending all its time trying to avert the fiscal cliff, a slew of other legislative matters are going unattended. One of them is the agriculture bill which, if not addressed, could lead to a doubling of the price of milk early next year."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28282993.post-9665936424884133832012-09-10T21:19:32.308-07:002012-09-10T21:19:32.308-07:00I think it is sort of a stretch and was sort of su...I think it is sort of a stretch and was sort of surprised that the hotel chain approved, as it's one of those things that's sort of funny (maybe in the office), but I don't think it plays well in the big travel market out there.

I find it slightly offensive that someone thinks offering a gallon of milk will entice me to stay at their hotel. If it was intended to be humourous, they missed the mark somehow.
