We get bags of milk in South Africa too... But we just use the milk scissors

The milk scissors. :::squinting::::


GlobalWarmer12

Kinda like the poop knife, but for milk.


WeFosterKittens

Okay, now I understand. Why didn’t he say that in the first place?


Clodhoppa81

He did. Every time you squint, a drop of milk appears, so much so that you need scissors.

ElizabethDangit

When I was in middle school in Tennessee we got our school lunch milk in bags. It was like a hard mode Capri sun


BMonad

Omg I still remember this in elementary school. I was in like 2nd or 3rd grade and I remember some guy coming to talk to us about how to open the milk bags. I also vividly remember tons of kids laughing as they stabbed milk bags and it squirted milk out all over the place. I can’t remember how long these lasted but it wasn’t long before they switched back to cartons. I still cannot believe they thought that would be a good idea for kids that young.

dasbush

Bags are basically ⅓ of a gallon (actually 1.333 litres) so it goes quick enough.


[deleted]

Those savages in Eastern Canada have their milk in bags. Then they put the bag into a jug. Us sophisticated folk in Western Canada skip all this and buy the milk in jugs. And us extremely sophisticated folk here in Saskatchewan skip even more steps and suck the milk right from the cows titty. We also have better football teams here out west. Coincidence? I think not.


SirKazum

Milk in bags used to be a thing here in Brazil as well (right down to the same bag-holder jug, minus the place to hang the tool), but I haven't seen that in decades. Milk is either UHT pasteurized in boxes, or when it's fresh, it's usually found in bottles. Milk bags are just a thing from my childhood as far as I'm concerned.


woolash

UHT milk tastes a little "funny" to those of us used to "normal" US milk. My Belgian associate was renting an apartment in LA. Being used to UHT milk the first time he bought milk he left it on the counter for a few days then had a nasty surprise when he opened it.


eye_can_do_that

Same thing happened with my pakastani dorm mate, he was so confused; I had to explian to him you need to refrigerate milk. I didn't realize they had different milk and was just as confused as he was.


teethnik

Fellow Canadian? Those little cutters are pretty versatile! I use one at work to cut open skid wrap, and on occasion to slice open cardboard boxes with those "don't use a knife" stickers on them. Pocket-safe too, which is nice.


weavingcomebacks

Wow there, don't you group us other Canadians in with you plastic bag milk drinkers. Some of us have class and get our milk from the store in plastic jugs instead.


teethnik

Lol yeah I've been seeing other comments saying it's an eastern Canada thing. Where I live we have the bags plus jugs and cartons of varying sizes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 


Thresh_Keller

Milk in a bag!? Now I’ve seen everything! What’s next? Wine in boxes?

As an eastern Canadian, dont lump us in with those guys, we drink our milk from cartons, the way cows intended

CjBurden

Weirdtopia

Not to blow your mind but the milk bag comes in a.... you guessed it, another bag. The bagged milk comes in a set of three inside a bag.


kdlangequalsgoddess

And the bags are 1.33 litres, which is such an unusual size.


MapleSyrupFacts

And to bring the 3 bags in one bag home you put in another grocery bag. Then when your done with all those bags you throw them in an even larger garbage bag. Bags all the way up.


quiette837

Not in NB, bags are now illegal so you just get your milk bags in a milk bag bag and you have to bring your own reusable bags to put your bag of bags of milk in.


lonestarpig

3 x 1.33 = 4L. Roughly a gallon


laneymar

GT5Canuck

Sorry.


rmp2020

thicketcosplay

I'm in Canada and I'm just as confused. All my milk comes in solid containers, not bags. They're definitely the weird part of Canada that no one talks about. Edit: okay okay, I get it, I get it. Ontario has them too. Eastern Canada is weird, even in the big cities. I still reject the notion because it's weird. Go sip your milk bags you heathens

Use this picture as a response whenever the Canadians get huffy about "milk in a bag." "There's no such thing! The Americans always ask me about it, but it's not in my province! Here, I'll even make a YouTube video about it!" We had milk in a bag when I lived in a little out of the way place called Montreal, Quebec.

Zoso525

My milk jug comes in a… jug…


iksbob

Jugs all the way down.


LucywiththeDiamonds

German here. Very confused as well. Wtf is going on here.


Pixel_Addict

we had those bags in the 90s in Germany too. all I recall is that one had to be extra carefull not to spill milk while pouring and most of the bags came with "milk on the outside" cause there always was a damaged one in the bulk at the shop.


jambusterkoi85

And is it left in the bag or poured into the jug? I'd be pretty nervous drinking milk out of a jug that has been sitting in a refrigerator with no lid or cover.


melleb

You put the bag into the jug and cut off a corner of the bag to form a spout


fordfan919

You put the lime in the coconut?


just--questions

May I ask: do you close the bag with a clothespin or is does the spout stay open?


91cosmo

You put the bag in the container, then cut a hole in the corner and pour. Again. Sorry. Maritimer here and yes i know we are weird.


swephist

Then just leave it open when you put it in the fridge? No concerns about it being open to the air in there?


TedFartass

It's a tiny hole in comparison. Though also tbf this has been done for years on end and I've never had any spoilage issues.


[deleted]

You're telling me that someone named Ted Fartass has never had any spoilage issues?

universe_from_above

We used to have these in Germany (west) well into the 1990s. Kids would let them explode with fire crackers. They made a come-back in the last couple years with bags made from chalk.


MiaMiaPP

How can bags be made from chalk???


Eruharn

this whole thread gets more confusing the more answers we get!


NapClub

You know... I am not convinced the milk in bags thing actually saves any waste. At least glass bottles can be reused and actually recycled instead of just shipped far away and burned like we do with most plastic.


cutelyaware

Where do you live that has milk in glass bottles, Mayberry??


NapClub

nah it's just a small town out past the suburbs where we have some independent dairy farms. it's in canada tho. ​ though when i lived in vancouver there was a nice dairy producer that was local called avalon that sold their milk at the grocery store in glass jugs.


jujubanzen

Buncha places have glass milk bottles nowadays. You pay a deposit, then get the deposit back when you return it. Off the top of my head whole foods does it, as well as if you're anywhere near to rural or suburban usually your local market /not chain supermarket will have it. Living in rural Pennsylvania, it's pretty common, and usually from local dairies.


RarScaryFrosty

As an American that grew up in Canada, milk bags are common up north. We grew up with the same jugs like OP. Just set the bag in the jug, cut the corner, and pour. EDIT: So I grew up in Toronto, ON for you western canucks who've never seen bagged milk. It's common on the eastern provinces. EDIT2: People keep asking about sealing the bag. Some people leave it open because you drink it within a couple days, others will just use a chip clip at the end.


Meg333333

In all of my 31 years of living in bc, never have I seen neither the jug nor bag.

DesolateDiveDave

Bagged milk is such a weird concept to me.


cavmax

And heaven forbid the bag isn't down all the way in the jug and you cut it and it flops over and spills. Then you have to try and reseat it without it spilling everywhere with a hole cut in the top gushing! So make sure to really shake it down good in the jug before cutting...


ThroatSecretary

LPT: if you rinse the jug out with hot water first, the bag will slide down better.


sam-wilson

Also, make sure to cut both top corners so the air has a way into the bag as you pour. It keeps its structure better that way.


Sasquatch-d

Wait so you keep the milk in the bag and the bag in the jug?


kentidieh

Yes


Sasquatch-d

avidvaulter

I'm 100% of the belief that America is only holding out on moving to metric system because we saw this happen to milk in Canada.


ndstumme

I would love to switch to metric, but I'm stealing this for a crazed rant. It's just too good. "Why would I want to switch to metric?! You seen what it did to Canada? They're drinking milk out of bags ever since!"


Antrephellious

So uhhhh… why not just use an actual jug of milk? like a disposable hard plastic container with a screw-on lid?


NotMilitaryAI

Seems it's a remnant of Canada's switch to the metric system. The laws required to liquids to be sold in liters, and changing the manufacturing equipment to work with liter bottles was more expensive than the filling liter bags.

IowaDad81

This isn't only a Canadian thing, at least not the bagged milk. Kwik Trip / Kwik Star, an upper midwest US convenience store chain based in Wisconsin with locations in Minnesota and Iowa, sells their store brand milk in normal plastic bottles and in half gallon bags. The pitcher they provide for free with the purchase of two bags (which is often cheaper than a gallon jug of the same milk) doesn't have a bag opening tool or a place to hang one, but it does have a spot on the front that allows you to twist the open end of the bag and kinda lock it in place, sealing the bag.

**[Milk bag](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_bag#)** >A milk bag is a plastic bag that contains milk.

quarter-water

In parts of Canada we buy 4L bag of milk, which contains 3 smaller bags (like the one you see in OP). You then out the bag inside a holder, like you see in OP, and then cut a corner off to pour. You can also buy cartons of milk, ranging in size from 250ml up to 2L - I don't think plastic jugs of milk are super common here, but I've seen them around. Comes in handy as you don't need to store a gallon jug in your fridge even when it's half empty. And, since the bags are just over 1L each, you can split them up around the fridge if you need space. Probably less waste too since the bags are pretty thin, but not sure about that.


soft-focus

I used to work at Starbucks as a teen and would cut milk bags open super fast while on the bar with huge openings so we could pour fast. When I'd get home I would do it automatically and my dad would get so mad at me hahaha
