Bagged Milk Bc. It was cheaper to go to bags than create an entirely new range of glass bottle or plastic jugs. While our neighbours to the south often find this pretty strange people in Quebec Ontario and the maritime provinces are used to cutting the corner off of a pouch of milk and putting it in a reusable pitcher to drink from.
She thought it was a cross Canada thing but apparently its not that common in Western Canada. My friend in Toronto was surprised that people in BC. I havent seen bagged milk anywhere in BC either.
However with the three-pouch system you end up exposing smaller quantities of fresh milk to air at a time.
These days Canadians are doing some cool things with discarded milk bladders Milkbags Unlimited a volunteer network across the Greater Toronto Area recycles milk bags into sleeping mats. Personally I dont miss having to locate a knife scissors or milk-bag-opener thingy to get the milk open and I like that the containers are recyclable. My friend in Toronto was surprised that people in BC. The bags use less plastic making them cheaper to produce and easier to store in the fridge as theyre stackable and take up less space.
