As a teenager in the mid 70's, my brother and I used to scour the ditches in our neighborhood for thrown away bottles. We'd get 5¢ for the small bottles and 10¢ for the bigger bottles and 25¢ for the jumbo bottles. And that was a hell of a lot of money back in those days. Back in those days a pack of cigs was $0.69, you could get two handfuls of candy for 2¢ and gas was $0.35 a gallon. We'd scour those ditches and roadways and we'd take all them bottles back to the store and end up with an easy $40-$60 or so just on the return deposits. $60 was a hell of a lot of money back then. But it just went to show that just because people could return the bottles and get cash on the deposit didn't mean they would. They'd be more apt to just throw the bottle in the ditch while they're driving along, which made us rich. So you have these cola companies and milk companies and such investing HUGE amounts of money into the manufacture of glass bottles, but they aren't getting the bottles back... people are chucking them instead. The ones they are getting back they're having to pay out on as deposit returns. But then they figured if they used cheap, non-biodegradable, polluting garbage like polyethylene, then they wouldn't have to put all that money into the production of glass containers at all, and they could still keep the price of the item untouched or higher at the same time! They didn't give a rat's ass that those millions of tons annually of this polyethylene kills off entire animal environments, they just wanted to save themselves a buck and fill their own personal bank accounts, with no regard whatsoever for the environment their own children would eventually inherit. Shitstains and human parasites such as this have zero regard for the environment. So they switched us from bottles to bags, and life went on. Now the planet is literally saturated with harmful polyethylene... it's in our oceans, in our food, in our air, in our animals, in our bodies... it's everywhere... all thanks to a few greedy and narrow-minded traitors to humanity who's only care was/is making another dollar.

I think the idea of milk - or any liquid for that matter - in a bag, sounds awesome.

Back when I was a kid we used to get milk delivered in glass bottles by the milkman. They would deliver the milk at like 6am from an electric milk float thingy, when you'd used the milk you just rinsed the bottles and left them by your doorstep and he'd pick them up the next day.

It was pretty awesome, we always had so much milk in the fridge. It was really nice milk too. I don't think that really exists any more, since there's a supermarket branch every ten feet now. Sometimes little magpies or something would peck into the foil caps and steal a bit of the milk, which was pretty funny.

I remember this too, didn't get it where I lived but when we visited family in a different city who got it. I think they ended up keeping some of the old bottles when the service finished up.

Another advantage of the bag is that it is easier to drink from without getting the spout all gummy with old milk. You can just stop at the fridge and pour the desired amount right into your mouth and there's no germs and no fuss.

Where do you sit a bag of liquid in the fridge without it leaking everywhere? Do they have their own zip locks or do you have to use a clip to close them up.

I've never known a bottle of milk to get its 'spout' gummy with 'old milk', milk is supposed to/best to be used within 5 days of opening

Look in the rest of the thread.

You have a pitcher for the bags and then you snip the corner off to open and pour. It comes out as a thin stream so it's easy for a fridge-by shooting.

[Euda]

You snip both corners for easy pouring.

Milk in bags is almost as crazy as wine in bags, which has won accolades throughout the industry. It's just not the most marketable or traditional option.

Washed out milk bags can make great freezer bags for fish.

Yeah I thought they were cut open and decanted into another container. Seems ridiculous that it just teeters in a bunded area (the pitcher).

One of the earlier pictures has a 4L bag on a shelf - I thought Canada had something against UHT milk for some reason :/

I like the idea that my milk is sealed and doesn't have an opening and would have imagined it would be milk in a bag would be the one prone to gumming up considering milk in jugs get that gross taste and skin around where it's been sitting because the air gets to it and it absorbs all the other odors from the fridge.

Wine in bags have taps don't they? Or has Canada got that wrong too?

I wouldn't keep anything in old dairy packaging besides dairy products. Say what you like old glass bottles that have been sanitized I can still tell that it once housed dairy in it. Revolting.

[Euda]

Psh, taps are for maple trees.

Households throughout the country already have pitchers, so taps on the bags aren't a necessary innovation.

As for being sanitary, well, we were raised on recycle, reduce, and reuse. Ziplock bags get expensive when people are out fishing three or four days a week.

Having to buy new housing for your milk every time you get some... that's using your noodle.

Fucking backwards shit.

Cost of production on a bag is a lot lower than a plastic jug. Keeps milk fresher and cheaper.

Though really I say we go back to the days of the milk man. Glass bottles delivered to your door. That's class.

[Savino]

Wow, Ive lived in canada all my life and ive never heard of this.. Here milk comes in either paper/cardboard cartons, or plastic jugs. I have seen this fancy "bottled" water that comes in a bag, and some juice "boxes", but never milk, crazy.

Way to make up shit, how exactly does it keep milk fresher? It's open to the environment, it's not sealed after it's opened unless you crimp it shut with a clip or a peg or something.

And the pitcher is secondary housing for the milk, the bag is the primary housing...so you are still buying new housing with your stupid bagged milk you are just under obligation to have something else to keep it stored in

And the bags can't be easily reused, I'm certain most of them end up in landfill festering away with rancid milk...unless you keep fish in the old bags and don't mind the taste of sour milk fish like Euda

I'm just going to say that the cost of production for cartons or plastic bottles is cheaper than bags unless you can prove otherwise...seeing as you mouthed off about this you can provide the evidence for it, I doubt you can because it'd either be the same or more expensive.

Proof that it's cheaper? It exists. Proof that it keeps it fresher? Only a third of the milk is ever exposed to air at once, refrigerators are air tight, and the hole is small enough that in the time it takes to drink one bag a negligible amount of anything gets in.

Well it's obviously for a family. One bag gets used up at breakfast usually so it doesn't sit around waiting to be used.

The gummyness I was referring to was from putting your mouth on the container. With milk bags it easier to just pour straight into your mouth.

It's like suckling a tit if you put your mouth on it. I think. It's awesome.

Yeah but its the worst when you drink it strait out of the bag and then next time you go to do it and there is hard crusty milk on the part you drink out of .

Possibly because I drink a lot of milk.

Easier for retards I suppose. And it even still it doesn't gum up, that's just bullshit you've made up.

One bag gets used up at breakfast...yet it's cheaper and better for the environment. Seems legit.

Yeah I'm over this retardedness and Canadians defense of it.

Yea ok, you try and pour milk in your mouth without putting your lips on the carton/jug. You're going to have milk all over your face, bitch.

You can get bagged milk in NZ, Aus and UK too.

Mainly used bagged milk when I was a barista, not for home use.

Are you talking 1 liter bags or the 20 liter bags for restaurant use that fit inside a dedicated milk cooler?

Accommodates 3 or 5 gallon bags
Includes (2) 5 gallon crates

In all 50 US states I imagine and a 100 countries, not much use in most homes for such large bags though unless youse gots a whole passel of kids.
