Do most Canadians drink milk from bags? This is all new to me.

I would NEVER. I've always had cartons, which makes sense because you can reseal them. Bags are just ludicrous.

 

[Perfectionist]

HECK YEAH. I had no idea this was abnormal.

I don't have them now but we did when I was younger. I think they were delivered too. We had the milk container and everything.

I can't believe that was an 3:00 minute long video about how to pour milk. For the subject, it was excruciatingly long.

 

[Game 7]

I get made fun of for this a lot. I didn't know it was abnormal either until I went to Florida.

 

[huh]

When I was in elementary school they switched it so instead of our school ordering milk cartons they started buying milk pouches, which are just miniature versions of what was shown in that video. Our school even had a meeting with all the kids (nearly a 15-30 minute meeting) to explain why they were changing it and how to use the bags...lol. I'm from the US though (Wisconsin).

 

[Havalina]

Ha I thought the question was -do we drink directly out of the bags? (as in no glasses)...yes, yes I do.

I have had bags as far back as I can remember.

 

[Lithium4]

Wait, milk in bags is a Canadian thing? I had no idea.

Sometimes I do, although I find there isn't much of a price break from the 2 litre carton.

 

[pita]

Of course I do. We drink at least a bag a day in my house.

 

[solasum]

I've never heard of that before.

 

[MindOverMood]

Yes sir.

 

[neurotic1]

That's the 3% milk bag. and yes its exactly like she said.

I would like to see what milk everyone else drinks, show pictures.

Edit: actually my mistake, that's the 2%, there is a light blue one that's the 1% and a red one that's 3%, some of the different companies may have it different, but i don't really drink so much milk to remember.

 

[lonelygirl88]

that seems gross. is it supposed to be a joke?

 

[darkangel]

I'm Canadian and have never heard or seen that ever in my life.

 

[IllusionOfHappiness]

Nope.

haha Canadians are big weirdos. Milk from a bag....why??? Cartons are so much easier! haha she kept pronouncing out as "auwt" too. Ok better stop making fun of Canadians, there's only like 329048234789237498734 of them on this board.

 

[dax]

Ok so here's what normal milk looks like:

[IllusionOfHappiness]

Calm down, dax, it's just milk in a bag.

 

[nothing to fear]

you take it out of the bigger bag, place it in the plastic container with the handle, cut the tip off and pour the milk. how is any of this gross or ludicrous? drinking fluids with yummy added hormones that come out of the mammary glands of another species is still just as repulsive, regardless of the method of consumption*.


(*when you actually think about it, so not necessarily the taste)

Yup, bagged is plenty cheaper, well maybe not PLENTY cheaper but these days every bit counts.
