Quoted: Milk in a bag doesn't make any sense. It comes out of a bag in the first place. |

Quoted:
Well, hate to tell ya, but commercial packed milk in restaurants comes in bags too. This is very true, but it almost makes sense... because the milk dispensers are refrigerated units, and the bags have either a tube/straw or a plastic valve... Which attaches the bag to the dispenser... for easy... dispensing. Now in Canada, you're to put your bag into a pitcher. This does not make sense, as bags with the corner cut off do not make good dispensers. This was my biggest pet peeve about living in Canada. Fucking milk bags. The bags don't reseal or anything like that... Milk absorbs odors, so if you slam some bbq ribs into your fridge... you get to enjoy some bbq cereal the next morning. I ended up using spring-tensioned metal clips to "sorta seal" the bags. I'm really glad I can buy plastic jugs of milk like a normal person again. And fuck Canehda anyways. Eh, buddy, take off. |

When I was a wee kid, we had a DAIRY BAR. No kidding, IN THE HOUSE! It was a crude refrigerator with TWO outlets for MILK that came in a box with a BAG stuffed in it...something like 4 gallons or so. The bags stayed in the box with these flexible 1/2" hoses that came out...the hose was sealed and would be threaded through the "valve" which was just a big weight on the end of a lever. This would pinch off the hose, stopping the flow.
Anyhow, there was room for storage for another 4 boxes of milk in the "bar". And we would use it to store deer quarters during hunting season. We had home delivery of milk, it was GOOD STUFF. But with 5 kids, we went through the milk. |

From what I've heard it's due to Canadian plastic packaging laws. Environmental regulations prevent those hard plastic containers because of the space they take up and how they don't degrade all that well. I know a Canadian couple who takes a bunch of Tupperware with them every time they visit friends and relatives back home. |

They sell it here commercially at least they did in the 80's the milk machines you use in restaurants or military chow halls use plastic bags. They have a rubber tube on the bottom of them which is pinched off by the dispensing arm of the milk dispenser. Got stuck on mess duty a time or two in the Marines. Yup, the only time I've seen milk in bags like that is at Basic Training and other Army DFAC's in the US. |

Yep..I worked in a Navy chow hall when I was in high school. Loaded a shit load of those 4 gallon bags in a box into the drink coolers. If you cut the tube too soon....well I don't think I have to tell you what happens. |

The first time on KP, I amazed the mess SGT by telling him I knew how to do it. Identical box, identical spout. The mess SGT was impressed with my "cut at an angle so the hose drains properly" phrase. I miss the milkman. |

There's this place in Lancaster that sells milk and juice in bags.
That's probably just because it's Lancaster, but it's still not Canada. |

In the opening bit of the Beatles Hard Days Night movie the manager buys a bag of milk from a vending machine. So the Brits had it since the 60's.

If the milk lasts longer in smaller bags it makes sense. If not.

WTF ?
Where I'm at, milk comes in glass bottles, cardboard cartons or plastic jugs I haven't seen milk in bags since like 1980. Must be those eastern bastards |

In cows, milk comes in bags too.
Therefore, if milk comes in bags in both Canada and cows, Canada must BE a cow. A giant, cold, lactating cow. A Holstein perhaps? If we're under the cow, what does that make us? |

When I was a kid we had a milkman deliver milk in glass bottles with those paper stoppers. When we were good mom would have the milkman deliver fruit punch in a glass jug. We had our bread delvered by the Helms Bakery man. Bought groceries every other week. Seems weird now.

Do you know WHY they come in bags in Canada? Think about this. They had AM milk deliveries when I live in Quebec City, Canada. They would deliver milk on your doorstep at 5AM. It used to be in Cartons. In the Winter (which is from November to May in Quebec), if you did not retrieve your milk before it froze in the subzero temperatures, the milk would freeze and expand, rupturing the carton. The bags do not rupture as they can leave enough room for expansion. It's a simple matter of practicality. I remember thinking it was weird when they switched, then the light bulb came on. No more gettting up at the crack of dawn to rescue your milk before certain death on the doorstep. Simple necessity drives many things. There is the basic difference between America and Canada. Americans see a busted milk carton and, "Fuck. Guess we need a mildly bigger carton." Edit: I am wondering just how many Engineers I know are in the closet about being Canadian now And instead some jackass executive tells the bottling plant to put in slightly less milk.... |

Not just Canada, much of Asia as well but FUCK CANADA anyway!!!!!! Mark my words, by 2012 Obama will have all Americans slurping milk out of a bag like some degenerate in a Québec City fag bar In Michigan there's Calder's Dairy. They still sell milk in glass bottles. Their chocolate milk and ice cream are both pretty damned good! |
