ltk007,

Michael now lives in the US.

Born In The USA (Da Boss)

Apple juice cans are the best! So are grape juice cans! You poke a big hole at one end of the can and a smaller hole at the bag and it's just a great container

I had a teacher back in elementary school that said when he first came to Canada he had so little money that he and his wife used to make small furniture out of those juice cans - like seats and stuff.

[pbrain]

the only cans we pour liquids out of here in the usa are chicken broth cans.

Dennil, In the hole, goes the ball.

 

[eakers]

wait a minute... no apple juice in cans in the whole of america?????

interesting....

*kat. <-- has never seen anyone cut 2 holes in the milk bag.

 

[GL]

A few other things that you Americans don't have:

1) Mc Donald's Pizza (it just recently got cancelled here in Canada ...it was actually pretty good)
2) Maple Syrup Candy
3) Ketchup flavoured potato chips
4) Cars that you plug into electrical outlets to keep the engine warm...well maybe you do?

Hmm...can't think of anymore but I know there are tons of little Canadian secrets

-GL

 

[Rakkis]

The US *does* have apple juice cans.
Maybe not for personal use, but there are tons of family-sized fruit juice cans in your local supermarket

 

[Michael]

GL - Engine block heaters are common where it gets cold. when I moved to NJ, however, a friend thought I had an electric car! <grin>.

[eakers]

is it also true that cars in the states dont have day time running lights on cars?

*kat. <-- car has daytime runnninglights

 

[RGN]

1) Mc Donald's Pizza (it just recently got cancelled here in Canada ...it was actually pretty good)


your right, no McDonalds pizza

2) Maple Syrup Candy

Yes, I've had some.

3) Ketchup flavoured potato chips

yaaacccchhhhh. nasty

4) Cars that you plug into electrical outlets to keep the engine warm...well maybe you do?

YES. And they work well.

 

[RGN]

kat only after a certian year.. 97?

 

[RGN]

my post is over kat's?

 

[shiner]

Canadian freaks!! Take your commie milk bags and apple juice cans and get the hell out of here....you're freaking me out!!!!

 

[chansen]

Don't worry, soon you'll ALL be drinking milk from bags. It actually works quite well, but sour, lumpy milk looks pretty hideous in a clear plastic bag. If you find a bag like this, serve it to someone you don't like. If they aren't due to visit for a week, wait.

*craig. <-- absolutely loves kat's little sign-offs

 

[RGN]

sour lumpy milk doesn't look good in a plastic milk carton either.

But, I don't want my milk in bags, my apple juice in cans or even my grape juice in cans. NO NO NO!!!

 

[nickdakick]

Finally we smart@ss foreigner have something the US pimps don't have.

Nick <--- goes grocery shopping for milk in bags

 

[ChrichtonsGirl]

I'm in Wisconsin, and we have milk in bags. You can only usually buy it at convenience stores, but Kwik Trip has been selling it like that for years. No clips on our bags though, you just tuck the cut end into a special slot in the pitcher.

 

[RevVveD1]

That's not fair you know!!! I want milk in bags too!!

I have no clue why, other than just to have it...

And McDonalds Pizza?? I don't know about that.. I'm not real fond of thier burgers which sit under heat lamps for hours it seems.. no, this wouldn't work for me...

Oh well...

I've bought milk in a bag in Minnesota. It was at a Kwik Trip.
Some people also plug cars in so they can start in the morning, but it is becoming very rare with modern fuel injected cars.

 

[Michael]

pg - the block heater also keeps the oil warm and greatly reduces the time between when you start the car and when warm air starts to come out of the heater. I don't need one in California, but all the parking lots in Churchill Falls, Newfoundland had electrical outlets for cars and we always pluged our cars in when we were living in Montreal (for the dead of winter of course <grin>).

When I was a kid, my father worked at a dairy and they used to sell their milk in gallon BAGS. It was kinda cool, though a tad unwieldly.

Yes we have almost all juices in cans, as well as cars that you plug in to keep warm, generally diesels, but not always.

[jumblies]

I just had my milk bags lifted.

 

[nickdakick]

Dang so we're out of this milk bag thing. Here comes another one: In Bavaria we have REAL beer. How about that ?

 

[PG]

I just remembered that when I worked in a deli for a while we got milk in huge 5 gallon bags. They were in crates and you just put the whole crate in a big machine thing that kept it cold.
Actually, just about any resturant has these. They work pretty well except for one time an old guy ripped the whole molded-on spicket thingy off the bag. Doh!! :Q

Dennil: Nous savons o&ugrave; vous trouver. Vous pouvez ex&eacute;cuter mais vous ne pouvez pas vous cacher.

Note to everyone else: Dennil is from Ottawa, and that explains why he buys his milk in bags, I buy milk in plastic 4 Liter jugs and 2 Liter wax cardboard containers.

Peta said it best with a slogan sumfin like: drink beer, not milk.
