He's a Canuck. Neilson is an Ontario dairy company.

Ausfag here.
Never seen bagged milk.
Only glass bottles, plastic and liquid paperboard.
You can't reseal the bag and if you leave it open in the fridge too long they get fridge flavour. You have to get like 1L bags and go through them in like two days to avoid this.
Bagged milk is a funny novelty and I still have my bagged milk pitcher somewhere but fuck just get a carton of milk, it's easier
>>7381683
>Bagged milk
What the fuck
>>7381690
Oh I know exactly where he's from. You're in the wrong board OP, tell chuckus and mcgarnagle to mess with fresh's weird bag o milk somewhere else
>>7381683
I always buy my milk in bag because it's cheaper. I don't actually see any difference between the taste of cartonned and bagged milk to be honest.
how the fuck do you even open it. looks like it's gonna burst out/spill if you open it somewhere. what a fucking mess
>>7382256
you can get it in the stats too
>>7382266
>>7382267
This shit is so fucking backwards
>>7382294
I don't know what to tell you. It's Canada. In Canada, milk comes in bags. I can't alter these facts.
>>7382311
>Comes in bags
>so you can put it in a container to hold the bag milk
Just use a jug you miserable fucking cunts jesus sometimes I'm like "man canada seems like a nice place I don't get the hate" then you miserable fucks do something like this.
>>7381699
>You have to get like 1L bags and go through them in like two days to avoid this.
Protip: this poster is full of shit.
Jugs of milk taste funny
Bagged malk masterrace
>>7381683
You tell me. I see no upsides to bagged milk. Cartons are square and fit easily in the fridge door or when unopened lying down in stacks on the shelves. Also, resealable without needing extra containers.
>>7382266
No you can't. Not even if you fucking tried.
Another Canadian here. Bagged milk is great, such a clean taste, no carton nfesting it.
>>7382378
This, I bet you Americans haven't even tried it. That's okay. More bagged milk for us.
milk is for babies you god damn potato-headed fucks
>>7382871
Im assuming you dont drink tea then?
>>7382378
plastic bags leaches more chemicals than boxes
why do you think they make boxed water?
>>7382954
you do know they are plastic liner on the inside right
>>7382312
We've got jugs and cartons, too.
>>7382925
Tea isn't for babies you trog
>>7382978
Lies.
In Canada, MILK COMES IN BAGS
>>7382994
Coming in bags does not exclude it from also coming in other things.

Glass jar milk masterrace
it's hard to find outside of Whole Foods
>>7381711
So she bought milk in store A, realized she fucked up halfawy to her house, tried to exchange it at store B, got told to go back to store A, then got pissed and is now boycotting store B? Top fucking kek
>>7383004
no.. we had anderson erickson half pint milk cartons
>>7383004
oh fuck i thought i'd never have to see those again
>>7381683
i live where they have bag milk
it's for families and pigfats who guzzle milk like a baby cow
it tastes like fridge if you keep it any more than a day or two
gross
litre cartons or bottles ONLY
>>7381683
You are too Canadian to actually be alive.
>>7381683
>gf is lactose intolerant
>insists on buying 2l cartons for 6$
>4l of bagged is like 8
fucking milk
>>7381683
Most restaurants in America buy their milk from distributors in large 20 quart bags or around that size. so It's not an only Canadian thing, morans.
>>7383024
It tastes like fridge because you have a pig disgusting fridge, clean that shit out
I'm from BC and while I do remember a couple households that had bagged milk when I was a child I can't find it anywhere. It's all cartons and jugs here now.
>>7383009
You can blame <generalized group of people with political ideology different than mine> for that
>>7381711

mother of god, non american english speakers give niggers a run for their money in incomprehensibility
How do you store milk after you've opened it? Is there zip lock, or do you have to consume it all in one sitting?
>>7383137
Neither.
The hole's very small and 1L gets used up pretty damned quick, so there' no real need to reseal.
Some especially anal people fold the bag over or stick a clothespin on or something but it's pointless.
>>7383137
>>7383137
You roll the opened end up and clip it.
>>7381699
The bagged milk is so much cheaper by price per unit though. It's one of the easiest grocery staples to spend less on.
ProTip: use a small bag clip if you feel your milk is taking on off flavours or spoiling too fast.
>>7382312
The little bags are each 1.3 litres, and three of them come in a larger bag. You get 4 litres (roughly a gallon in Americanese) of milk at a significant cost savings on a dollar per unit basis, because its a larger volume of milk and the packaging cost is dirt cheap, and they stack better than gallon jugs so shipping costs are reduced.
And unlike a gallon jug, you can just open the first bag and freeze the rest, so you don't have to worry about how you're going to use a gallon of milf before it spoils when you're single.
It's 'Murica that has it backwards. Bagged milk makes sense.
>>7383068
Bagged milk was never common in Western Canada.
>jarred milk
Bagged milk is an oddity I've been hearing abo8ut for years, but jarred milk is a whole other absurdity I'm not familiar with.
why wouldn't milk come in a bag? i don't see any problem with it.
>>7383004
we had these for like a week
no one could resist making them explode in one way or another so obviously the school wised up and went back to the little cartons
>>7382266
I've only ever seen bagged milk in the States in places that have milk dispensers (and they're usually buffet restaurants). It's not exactly something you'd find for the average consumer.
>>7381683
>jarred milk
Well that's a new one on me
>>7381683
Do you know how hard it is to piss in a bag while doing 100 kmh while shifting gears and killing prostitutes ?
>>7383304
>>jarred milk
amish market near me jars their chocolate milk and its so fucking delicious. i forget how the regular milk it, but if you ever come across it buy it. it is the creamiest shit ever, so delicious. seriously
>>7383539
Those typically aren't jars, they are glass bottles
Bagged milk is maymay food
>>7383208
actual economist here who works in logistics/procurement for a major food distributor on the West coast.
1. You're a fucking retard.
2. Canada has over-inflated dairy costs relative to the rest of the world due to insane inter-provincial transportation rules and archaic dairy protection rules (not to mention the crazy power of the canadian dairy lobby)
3. Plastic bags vs plastic jugs still need to be made of the same foodsafe grade plastic - the difference in cost is utterly negligible when you consider that each litre is individually sealed, whereas a 4L milk jug does not.
4. Material costs on foodstuffs are by far the least impactful variable costs on food production (for staple foods). Transport costs tend to be the key determinant in price. This is why, despite your "muh savings" argument, you don't see any other liquids packaged in bags aside from milk. This also explains why you don't see bagged milk in Western Canada (or much of the rest of the world). Really I don't see how you can appeal to cost-savings in bagged milk while simultaneously acknowledging that American producers do not bag milk as if Eastern Canada is the only place in which dairy is produced by sensible businessmen.
5. Gallon jugs are transported in milk crates, just like bagged milk. You can fit four, 4L milk jugs in a single crate. You can stack four large bags into a single crate, so the transportation argument is fucking nonsense.
6. As for your frozen milk argument, there's a reason grocers tend not to freeze milk (as well as producers) and that's because frozen milk tends to split and become grainy in texture (aside from skim milk). Even still, this is why cartons of milk for individual use tend to be the trend if you're single. Generally speaking, smaller cartons will be more expensive than large jugs but this holds true for almost all products, including milk (whether bagged or jugged).
7. You're a fucking retard. Please never reproduce.

>glass bottles
Those are called jars
>>7382267
>not cutting the other corner to increase the flow
Fucking n00bs I say
>>7383582
Not if they are bottles
Jars are called jars because of how they are sealed
>>7383578
Except that doesn't explain why bagged milk is objectively cheaper.
>>7383598
Less production effort
plastic is cheaper and requires less time to shape
>>7383591
how would you know which way to pour it
>>7383595
Nah he's right, I have a beer jar collection.
>>7383613
Tiny for the air, big for the milk
Don't worry Canada, you're not alone
>>7383619
>>7383595
bottles have a narrow neck and opening and are used for liquid only
jars have a wide neck and can hold more solid foods
sealing has nothing to do with it
>>7383061
my fridge is fine, bag milk is the problem
>>7383635
Then why can produce stay open in the fridge with no problems?
>>7383598
dehydrating milk adds production time and effort, although that may be more than compensated for by the fact that for the same quantity of milk, less packaging is requires, and it costs less space and weight during transportation.

but you can bottle stuff like jelly
>>7383644
milk absorbs odor the same way a box of baking soda does
>>7382954
I've seen that boxed water shit and it's always leaking. Doesn't matter where. Target, gas station, the hippie store on my campus, the rich people grocery store.
>>7383004
Jesus what the fuck? Who thought it was a good idea to give kids that?
>>7383208
>freezing straight dairy
You'll ruin it.
I work in a dairy cooler at a grocery store in canada
the bag milk is okay. it is easier to toss milk crates on the rollers than fill the fridge with individual cartons of 2L or 1L boxes.
"never eat "loose meat" out of a bag"
>>7383008
You can buy Glass Bottles at TNT, Metro, and Herb and Spice (If you live in Ottawa).
>>7383578
Not a noob!
I like #6. As a single person after years of marriage, I really go through my coffee cream/halfnhalf faster than the milk. I like my milk very fresh and it has to do with replacing it often after opening. Buy it fresh, use what I use, and buy it more. I save no money by buying a larger size, I just enjoy it less. Save 60 cents? I don't care. I want my milk refreshing or not at all.
As a former chemist, I'll tell you our glass containers had far less memory than plastic. I wouldn't reuse a tupperware style container for holding milk week by week whatsoever. It would be as hard to clean as a plastic baby bottle. If it's not sterile, it will spoil very fast, as well as a dribbly plastic bag in a quart pitcher exposed to air. At least in a sterile jug, it started out ultra pasteurized and good to go with its airspace a little longer.
>>7383940
>As a former chemist
What happened?
>>7382311
No it doesn't. I've lived in Canada my entire life and I've only seen bagged milk once.
>>7385890
You probably weren't in canada
Estonia reporting in. Canada is good in my book.
>>7385890
Milk was sold in bags when I was in Québec.
>>7385982
Are those chips
Maybe its all the PVC that is floating on the milk
>>7385993
No. It's milk in a bag. :)
>>7385890
Western Canada then. Bagged milk is an Eastern thing.
bagged milk has less preservatives n shit that carton milk
we have em in south america as well
>>7385993
Yes,where I come from the contents of my chips bag is also displayed in liters.
dipshit
>>7385982
If you don't want to drink 2,5% milk water then you still have to buy cartoned though
>>7381683
Br here. I guess they use diferent temperatures to sterilize the milk, cartoned being the highest. Don't know why though. It's quite comon here.
>>7383591
>not realizing it's not a rigid container therefore the bag will move around the flow of air
>>7381711
how did Britain once rule 1/4 of the world?
>>7381683
Probably because your society is so cucked that you've allowed your nanny state to develop to the point where your gov't has regulated the milk industry out of the carton or jar business, so cartoned and jarred milk has to be imported so it automatically spends more time between farm and table, and is heavily taxed, so the quality per price is worse.
>>7387035
Yeah how
>>7387053
I can't hear you over the sound of free healthcare and gun control
>>7386056
Eastern Canada uses jugs and cartons, too.
Bags are more Central.
>>7387035
Maybe they cut their losses when they saw how most of the colonies had degenerated to what we see today?
Jarred > jug > carton > bag
bagged milk is closer to to the original container then those others, that's why
>>7388603
Is that a good thing?
>>7388608
>Not wanting to suck some milk straight from the utter
Yes
>>7382378
How thick is that plastic? It seems like the top of the bag would collapse down when you turn it sideways like that and the milk would spill all over the table.
>>7383182
>The bagged milk is so much cheaper by price per unit though. It's one of the easiest grocery staples to spend less on.
I pay about $2.50US per gallon on milk in a plastic jug. How much did you pay for your last bag of milk?
>>7388724
A gallon of milk is atleast $3.50 in the states.
>>7388813
>A gallon of milk is atleast $3.50 in the states.
Okay.
>>7381683
How do you store that? Where do you pour the milk? what if you need to seal it for re-use?
>>7388998
>3.59
you did not prove your point even if it is on sale
>>7389010
I have never seen milk more expensive than about $3.15 at Wegmans. That store has been there for about three years now.
>>7388813
Where I live you can still get a gallon for $1.99
>>7388718
it's been known to happen
>>7385741
he became a high school teacher and started making meth
>>7388813
If you live in the shitty parts.
I pay $2
