In Canada, milk comes in bags.

I just realised, in other countries milk does not come in bags. How weird is that?

Oh, and don't forget Canadian homo milk.

In Soviet Russia, bags come in milk!

Sorry. I just had to say that.

This is something I tease my Canadian relatives about every once in a while.

:lol:

In Soviet Russia milk was packed in glass bottles or was delivered to people in big barrels and people formed lines to buy it, bringing their own containers with them. And there was also TetraPak package of that funny tetrahedron shape.

Now it comes in (sic!) bags and plastic bottles and TetraPak cans of box shape.

I saw those before, however for juice.

Yeah, but it was kinda uglier... like this:

Also for a long time milk in Poland was sold in first in glass bottles and then in bags. Now 99% of market is TetraPack (box shaped).

I'll stick to cartons, thanks. It's not just recyclable--it's *paper* so it's pretty darn easy on the environment, and also a whole lot easier to use.

Bagged milk tastes a lot better.

Hmm... I remember the day my mom came home with those milk bags. It was completely new. It was about the time of Rowan and Martin. I figured it was a fad. Not Rowan and Martin, but the idea of milk in plastic bags. Turned out it was the other way around, who'd-a thunk, Rowan and Martin was the fad.:lol:

In some ways this is genius make a box of cereal with two bags, one of cereal and one of milk! GENIUS!

Alos, what exactly is homo milk? Is it a brand or a different type?

Old hat, Switzerland had milk in Bags for decades now. It was initially introduced to lower Tetra-pack waste, but it hasn't caught on that well. You can still buy it if I'm not wrong, but Tetrapacks have held their ground without much trouble.

And I'll stick to jugs. Cardboard cartons pass a really icky taste to the milk. Plus, given that I drink 2 1/2 gallons a week, cartons would go too quickly. (I don't think I've seen cartons bigger than one or two quarts, but the standard jug around here is a gallon).

UK used to have pint milk-bottles, delivered to your door by yor local friendly milkman in an electric milk-float:

Might still in some places, I think most get it now from the supermarket in Litre-multiple plastic bottles.

OK, you may laugh at me but I have to ask: this video about placing a milk bag in the jug - it's a joke, right?

 

[Turbinator]

Nope;

 

[Chub777]

Nope;

I really don't see a point in that.

 

[PeterRoss]

Neither I. Why not simply pour milk down the jug?

C'mon, you're tricking me!
