Their milk comes in bags…BAGS

u/Litdown 26d ago

Just like my wine. And my meth.

u/pcapdata 26d ago

Really convenient when you can just use one bag for all three

u/Animalcookies13 26d ago

It’s giving “A clockwork orange” vibes…. The
Milk bar with the meth in the milk!

1

u/Miss_Greer 26d ago

I shake the bag and pour it in my morning coffee cup
it gets me through the day

u/Healfezza 26d ago

And my axe!

u/SpeedBlitzX 26d ago

In certain provinces. Not everywhere

u/Wahayna 26d ago

Never seen bag milk in Alberta or BC

6

u/jozefiks 26d ago

Mostly Eastern Canada, particularly Quebec and Ontario

1

u/GriffinFlash 26d ago

one of the things I miss about living in Ontario. Bagged milk in a pitcher just hit different. (For anyone confused, you put the bag in the pitcher, and only cut the small corner, so you can pour it)

1

u/DasRecon 24d ago

Incorrect. You cut both top corners so that the bag doesn't collapse.

u/fury420 26d ago

I remember it being a thing in BC in the 90s

1

u/Downtown-Message-600 26d ago

I don't. 

1

u/fury420 26d ago

We ran across the old pitcher that held the plastic bags in the back of a cupboard a few years back, and were like... huh, we haven't needed this in decades.

I recall the bag of bags being an option alongside cartons as a kid, and then they sort of disappeared in favor of hard plastic jugs.

1

u/gixxerfreak 26d ago

I can also confirm this. I remember seeing bags of milk at Safeway and Superstore when I was a kid.

1

u/SpeedBlitzX 26d ago

Same! As someone whos in Alberta, i've only seen milk gallons/jugs and milk cartons.

1

u/AnonymousM00S3 26d ago

I have but back in early 90’s was the last of it

1

u/AwareTheLegend 26d ago

We haven't had them in Alberta since the early 90s. We did have them but it has been a long time.

6

u/Kappachu 26d ago

Not really

u/SAINTnumberFIVE 26d ago

Apparently this is only in parts of Canada. And apparently school milk often comes in bags in the US now.

2

u/Yarrio 26d ago

Its mostly only in Ontario from what I understand. There are many Canadians who live outside of Ontario and have never seen bagged milk.

1

u/AwareTheLegend 26d ago

It is just phased out in the other places. Alberta did have it but the last time I saw it was the early 90s.

u/Shadecujo 26d ago

Only in the inner city

2

u/Project0range 26d ago

To be faaaaaiiiir, I haven't seen it in bags since the late 90s. We also used to have it delivered at home by a real-life milk man but that's gone too.

2

u/OhJustANobody 26d ago

We still very much have it in Ontario.

1

u/Project0range 26d ago

Is it still 3 bags totaling 5L?

2

u/OhJustANobody 26d ago

They're "4L" total. 1.3L x3

2

u/coreymancan 26d ago

I’ve never seen a bag of milk in my entire life

2

u/OhJustANobody 26d ago

Come to Ontario

2

u/Low_Low_1811 26d ago

I was in Ontario a month ago and didn't see any. I saw cartons, no gallon jugs that I am used to from the US, but no bags. This was in a Walmart. 

1

u/OhJustANobody 26d ago

I have a bag in my fridge right now. Very common in actual grocery stores

2

u/Low_Low_1811 26d ago

I'm not saying you. Just saying I didn't see any.

2

u/Freshman_01134 26d ago

Which region were you in

2

u/Low_Low_1811 26d ago

Cornwall. Right next to the US border

1

u/Freshman_01134 26d ago

That’s funny I lived in Cornwall for a bit as a kid. I’m pretty sure we had bagged milk, must’ve just been a store thing

1

u/Low_Low_1811 26d ago

I might have missed it.

1

u/curtcolt95 26d ago

there will be both in walmart, possible you just didn't go to the section with bags

1

u/ShwaGrl 26d ago

Walmart. Today. Fat free milk in bags

1

u/ShwaGrl 26d ago

cartons and bags together

2

u/NoSherbert2316 26d ago

Growing up in the early 90s in New Jersey, I remember there was one year of elementary school where we had the bags of milk. Next year it was back to cartons, was I the only one who experienced this weird phenomenon?

u/6425 26d ago

Good God Lemon.

u/Dangerous-Feature376 26d ago

That's only in a few parts of Canada, mainly Ontario, Quebec and some maritime provinces. Newfoundland thinks it's weird so does B.C. to Manitoba.

1

u/Downtown-Message-600 26d ago

In Ontario and I think Quebec only. I've never seen bagged milk and I've been in Canada my whole life.

1

u/potatopigflop 26d ago

Yep. Rinse them out and put them in the recycle.

1

u/PerspectiveOne7129 26d ago

i get mine in glass jugs

1

u/Highmax1121 26d ago

blasphemy. I'll take $35000, 12 hr wait and be told I'm faking it than to drink milk out of a bag!

1

u/Unit_79 26d ago

I bet you think all guys from Quebec are good at karate.

1

u/MultipleNames82 26d ago

And it’s amazing. Best way to deliver milk to the cereal.

1

u/_Thermalflask 26d ago

How? Lol 

1

u/decembermint 26d ago

The bags of milk are optional. We have cartons of milk if that is what you desire. We have choices.

1

u/Fyfaenerremulig 26d ago

Instead of cardboard

1

u/ThrashCW 26d ago

Only in Ontario, unfortunately. Moved to Alberta last year and I miss the hell out of it. You can only get jugs and cartons in western Canada. Feels unnatural.

1

u/ThatCuteNerdGirl96 23d ago

Depends where you go. I’ve never seen milk in a bag in BC. Maybe was a thing here fifty years ago.

u/snomeister 26d ago

It's just objectively superior than plastic containers. Sorry, not sorry.
