Canada seems pretty similar to America...and then I see something like this. It's like someone went back in time and stepped on a butterfly, and when they came back there were a few slight changes...like milk in a bag. And I thought Capri Sun was a pain. This is just unsettling.

Let me tell you about the west coast. We drink out milk from a cup, and we pour it into the cup from a jug or carton.

I drink milk from a bag in the US, so whatever. Certain chains do it, it just hasn't penetrated as far into the US. Kwik Trip carries half gallon bags of milk, so that's usually what I have in my fridge. It's cheaper to transport and thus, cheaper to buy.

I honestly have never seen milk in a bag before.

Dylflon · 02-05-2010, 06:06 PM

I've never seen bagged milk in B.C.

Prior to this thread I had never heard of drinking milk from a bag before in my life. But, life tml said, I bet it does cut down on transportation costs quite a bit.

I think this weekend I'm actually going to go out of my way to try find some milk in a bag. Because I don't think it exists here.

I would start by asking Dyne, he says that he still gets his milk in a bag... and pours it in.. a carafe?

God Damnit, Phil.
Moves across the river and suddenly buys his milk like a jerk.

I remember milk from a bag, when I was like 4. but i havent seen any since.

KillerGremlin · 02-06-2010, 01:09 AM

The only bags I drink milk from are fun bags.

Nah, not anymore. I watched the video in the OP and that's exactly how you do it.

Sean.. Dylan.. wtf? We had it here for years. Last place I saw it was Costco a few years ago within the first year it opened but it's essentially phased out.

After I moved from Ontario around 1990 they still had it here for 3-5 years at most of the grocery stores.

It's just one of those things I guess. Hahaha.

You want something UBER canadian that nobody else had? Pizza-flavoured hot dogs branded for TMNT. That shit rocked.

Reminds me of canned socks. Or peanut butter in France (which was non-existant until 5 years ago).

Teuthida · 02-09-2010, 08:17 AM

Last year a cousin from Australia and her friend from France stayed over my place. They bought peanut butter products every chance they got. Forget if Australia wasn't big on the stuff either, or it just didn't find its way into other products.
