Poor souls. Forgive them for they do not know better. Bagged milk for life.
EASTERN Canada, EASTERN. We don't have that nonsense out west, we had it briefly and everyone realized how stupid it was.
It's not stupid at all...
No, you don't seal it or need to. It doesn't need to be resealed.

Forget other countries. I was shocked when we moved to Alberta and they didn't have any. I always knew there was something off about this province.
Growing up, bagged milk was super common in Vancouver. Then around the mid to late 90's you couldn't find it anymore.
I definitely miss it.

Yep, I lived in Argentina for two years... they had bagged everything. Milk, yogurt, mayonnaise, ketchup, barbecue sauce, etc. etc.. I personally hated bagged milk because it wasnt resealable and it absorbed the taste of everything in the fridge. Many people down there though dont like drinking milk so, they mainly use it as an ingredients for something else.
I've never found that it absorbs the taste of everything else in the fridge. At least, not our Canadian milk.
What's wrong with bag shampoo? Ain't it common as refill package?
What is wrong with bagged milk?! Like seriously, it ia not using the expensive tetrapack package so it's cheaper. Also the milk in tetrapck packege are much more processed because they have to kill every single bacteria in them, while these bagged milk are far less processed, since they have a shelf life of ~3 days.
They probably don't exist in Vancouver anymore, or are rare at least.
I know I haven't seen bagged milk in at least a decade maybe 2 decades here in Edmonton. We used to buy bagged milk when I was a kid though.
No, you have a separate container you put the bag in and then cut a hole in the corner:
It's seriously not difficult lol
Doesn't it get annoying when you've only got a tiny bit left in the bag?
Or you forget how much milk is left and you tip the container over and you tip too far and the whole thing slides onto your counter? That's what I imagine happening if I imagine myself handling bag milk.
Yeah, I don't get people. It's a better option.
Not really, no. Sometimes a little bit is leftover when it seems empty, but it's not hard to pull the almost empty pouch out of the container and work it out by hand. All you usually need to do is smooth it out and tip it over...
Also, the containers are hard plastic (you only need to buy one and it'll last you a lifetime if you wash it and don't abuse it). They don't tip easily and the milk doesn't spill unless you spill it yourself. The handles are very solid and the weight isn't a problem. It's simple.
While I am anti-bagged milk, in the last 5 years you can get pretty good wine in boxes. It started as kind of a joke from a handful of hip wineries back 5, 10 years ago, but now it's really taken off.
THe winery/brand 'House Wine,' makes bagged and boxed wine and their Pinot Noir and dry Riesling are both really good, solid ~$15-$20 wine.
They also can their wine:
It kinda started as a joke but... it's great. Esp. if you go out to a lot of BOYB places, boxed wine/canned wine is great now that you're getting good wine in the box/can/etc.
Jugs takes up valuable fridge space and are also wasteful (environmentally). In my fridge, we have a special compartment for the milk bag and it takes up almost no additional space at all.
It's not like you lubricate the bag before you put it in the container lol. Plastic bags stick to plastic especially when it gets some condensation on the outside of the bag. Plus if you notice the container narrows at the bottom so the bag goes in snug, it really doesn't slide out that easily. In fact when the bag is empty you usually have to give it a gentle tug to get it out of the container.
The only thing is if you cut the hole too big the bag can droop when you go to pour and it can spill easily so you end up having to hold the opposite corner.
So...do you cut the bag and just leave it open sitting in I assume a pitcher of sorts? Or do you just pour the milk into a pitcher then discard the bag?
Interesting, America won't ever switch to bagged milk. Though a few American companies are switching to biodegradable cartons.
A plastic bottle is fundamentally better
Because
Because
- It's can stand upright by itself
- Is stronger, will not get punchured as easy
- Easier to pour.
