Crazy rest of the world :P

[Ghengis John]

So I just found out that Canada is the only place with bags of milk and poutine and ketchup chips. I gotta ask how do you guys live without having tried poutine or drinking your milk the correct way or not eating ketchup chips? It sure is a crazy world outside Canada, a crazy world where colour is spelled color and food is not how it should be I feel scared

You take your milk, you cut it open and then you put it in a pitcher. That seems less convenient and less sanitary than a recyclable jug. Just saying.

NZ has bags of milk, useless fucking things they are. Poutine is just gravy fries with cheese. Tomato sauce flavoured chips are disgusting. And only americans spell colour as "color".
Guess Canadians dont know much about the rest of the world other than the US. >.>

Good thing Canada is part of America.

not really we place the bag in a pitcher and then cut the tip so it pours nicely when the bags empty we take out the bag and replace it

Add the fact you spell 'color' (and probable 'blond' as well) makes me think you call soccer football instead of futbol.

Blond/blonde is actually spelled differently based on the gender of the person to which you are referring.

Not in my country you heathen!!!!!

I hope you see the fun in my text, not any hate ; )

Your snark up the place and I have to respond in kind.

How it is less sanitary? you don't pour the milk into a pitcher. You have a reusable jug that hold the sleeves of milk.

Actually where I live, Manitoba, the whole bags of milk thing isn't really that widespread because it's INCREDIBLY STUPID. We buy our shit in jugs man. JUGS.

What do you mean by bags of milk?

I remember when I was in elementary school like 16 years ago, they replaced the little milk cartons with square see-through plastic bags of milk. That lasted all of a few weeks and then we went back to milk cartons, because the bag things were a nightmare. They gave us little straws to poke a hole in the bag to get at the milk, but since the bag was, just that, a light unsupported plastic bag, it didn't hold a proper form and would move erratically when touched. The school changed back to cartons because the bags increased milk spillage by like 99.5%. A person would have to be like some expert to drink from those bags without getting milk spillage.

Ah. See I had a Canadian friend who told me they poured it into the jug. So just out of curiosity you place an open bag in the refrigerator and let it suck up all those wonderful flavors, or is there I'm assuming, a lid to this thing? Cause the bag in that picture looks bigger than the jug.

This is bagged milk:

Within it it contains three smaller bags each holding 1.33L of milk:

And for the record I also had those small bags of milk at school and they were never much of a problem for anyone. For personal sized amounts of milk, cartons (250, or 500ml) are still the norm.

Okay, now I see what you mean by bag, looks just like those nightmare bags of milk that I talked about when I quoted you before.

All the milk I see in that bag, my family would never use all that milk in a day, so obviously it would have to go back in the fridge. But since it is and open bag, it wouldn't keep as long because it would soak up all the smelly air in the fridge.

That is why containers that close like cartons or jugs, are just so much more practical than a bag.

I've never had a problem with milk in bags sucking up odours in the fridge, and I have milk bags sitting open for up to a week.

the container is small usually the bag fits in perfectly with just about 5 - 10 cm sticking out and some have lids with a slot to pour

me neither but my fridge doesn't smell funky either so ya

Bagged milk?

That is blasphemy if I ever heard it.
Milk belongs in a cardboard milkbox.

Yeah, I think that is just plain weird, very impractical.

As I mentioned before in another comment, how do you store a bag that is all used up? Do you just pour it in a pitcher and put it in the fridge, do you put the open bag in a pitcher and put it in the fridge, or do you put in a some closeable container and then put it in the fridge?

The reason I ask, is unless you put the leftover in a closeable container, it won't keep as long in the fridge because it is exposed to the open air, plus it would start to taste bad because it would soak up all the flavors of the smells of other food in the fridge.

Jugs and cartons are way more practical.

 

[Cain_Zeros]

Western Canada doesnt have bags. Only place I've seen them are Ontario when I visit my grandfolks.

Yeah, I'm with you on the lack of bags in Western Canada. They're kinda interesting, but I find a carton or a jug more practical. I'm a little iffy on the lack of ketchup chips being horrible too. The lack of poutine is a travesty though.

What do you used up? It is kept in its bag in the pitcher. As I mentioned I have never had a smell absorption problem with my milk.

Venezuelan here, we have ketchup chips and bags of milk along with cans of powdered milk (when you can find them). And it would be quite silly if we spelled color as colour, although when I write in english I always make sure to write it as "colour".
And how do we live without trying poutine? easily, because we have pabellon criollo, and cachapa as a snack.

Well that the thing, we buy gallon(roughly 3.79 liters)jugs or half gallon jugs. A half gallon lasts about a week and a half, sometimes longer, and a gallon lasts three weeks to almost a month.

So bags would still be impractical in my household.
