Canadians: Bagged milk question (serious)

i've been to Canada several times and noticed that people keep their bagged milk open and in a container exactly as below. they leave an open hole at the tip. does this not cause spoilage quicker? can government not pass a law to make plastic jugs the standard?

You have too late a join date to know that "a floppy bag of homo milk" was a de facto ATOT joke in 2001-2003. Otherwise I would have suspected this of neffing. 😛
 
I've been to Canada a few times and I have never seen bagged milk. You sure you're not just trolling?

I opened my fridge and took a picture because my life is that boring.

i assure you, my pungent friend, i am not trolling this time. i have seen this exactly as depicted above several times. it is indeed a strange sight to behold.
 
It is cheaper IIRC, only in east canada also from what i remember, went to the west on vacation and didnt see it once.
 
They used to offer it in my town when you had a milkman who delivered it to your door. The last milkman in town stopped about 10 years ago, and milk bags went away forever 🙁
 
I remember getting gallon jars of milk from the neighboUr's farm.
I remember getting quart jars of milk on the doorstep from the milk man in the UK.
I even remember having to drink powdered milk when we were poor.

But never bagged milk.
 
Are those 1L bags? If so, probably don't last long.

1.333333333333333333333333333333 L

it's sold in 4L bags, but in the bag there is 3 of the bag pictured. I just use a clothpin to close the folded mouth. we go though 4L a week minimum.

I buy the micro filtered 3.25% stuff though.

Still not as yummy as Argentine milk.
 
So what's good there? Probably will have a next trip. I liked Bonterra Trattoria when I checked it out, but pricey, ouch!

I guess it depends heavily on what you are looking for. I tend to stick to the ones I know, close to home in the hood, or pubs. I wouldn't necessarily recommend them (unless you are interested in Vietnamese!).

Honestly I don't go out for food often enough to be a good critic. And when I do go out with friends, I don't actually pay attention to the names of the places we're eating at. But give me some types of food and I'll find a good one for you! 🙂
