How do you pour it out of the bag? https://www.myrecipes.com/extracrispy/why-do-some-countries-sell-milk-in-bags There are two types of people in this world: those who get their milk in cartons and those who buy milk in plastic bags. And though Americans are all-in on cardboard milk cartons, or the occasional plastic jugs, throughout the rest of the world—from India and Israel to our dear neighbors Canada—milk is sold in plastic bags. America is, in fact, somewhat anomalous for selling its milk in upright containers rather than in plastic bags. Three of these bags in each of the larger bags in Andrews SUV.

Ironically two teachers live there with their young son. They have been painting rocks and placing them among the neighbourhood, during the pandemic. These are a few along our farm ditches. These are balloons, minds out of the gutter. LOL This has become a fun activity in our little town of 12K. I think now there are several people creating and hiding the rocks. Kind of fun to find the painted rocks when we go for a walk. Mrs Ldubs takes pic's and shares her finds her FB page. Lol. There are some very artistic folks out there.

I've dealt with milk in plastic bags in a cardboard box for a milk machine, like in a cafeteria. I had no idea this was common. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fascinating. I have never heard of or seen such a thing. And you have to have milk accessories? Hmm. Appreciated. The things you learn on Cruise Critic! Do you still keep the pitcher in the door of the refrigerator? Maybe there is a market for square milk pitchers in Ontario sized for the door.

We also have this holder to keep the extra bags organized. Funny the differences between neighbours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were made by Corelle? Of course. As is the beige bowl with the white triming on the 2nd shelf. Expensive, but high quality. I have lots of them, everytime there is a "sale", I add another one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went from Buffalo to Ontario a lot growing up. Brador and Extra Stock 👍. Don't know if either is still brewed. The 2 acronyms that I remember most were LCBO and OPP. One very good, the other hopefully good but possibly very bad. Based on the case of Clamato juice, can we assume that there is vodka in the LCBO bag? I'll gladly take milk in a bag before Clamato instead of tomato or V8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they go off and put them in various places. 😉 A lot of them are pretty cute.

Actually, we're enjoying both "worlds" 😁 -- until a few years ago, we only had plastic bags, and I've absolutely hated them -- place them in their special device, find the scissors, cut the corner, a few drops automatically spilled out, and the container had, in a few hours, the smell of sour milk... The moment the cartons appeared on the market, my life improved enormously.... The cartons are 0.5$ more than the plastic -- I'm willingly paying the difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cartons being smaller are great if you don't go through that much. We also now have "Tru Taste" milk that still is refrigerated like normal milk but has a shelf life of a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
