Canada: bags of milk?

**Ryos** · January 5th, 2003, 01:19

Um...this might just be a malicious rumor, but do Canadian retailers sell milk in bags? I'm not talking about powdered milk - the real deal. Just wondering.

"P.S. We can also buy cartons of milk (like the rest of the world) but most people buy it in the bag form."

What the-

This must be in newfoundland or some place like that. Because here in Alberta i have been here for 15 years and have never heard of such a thing!

Go ahead ask the canadians here at NGEMU and i don't think they heard of such a thing. So if this is true, which i'm guessing it is do to that webpage than it must either be in a screwed up province or territory of just a weird hick town.

I have lived in BC and Alberta all my life, and I have NEVER seen milk being sold in a plastic bag. They might do that sort of thing in Quebec though, as they are just strange...

Steel · January 5th, 2003, 02:05

WTF?? LOL ok... I've lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada for 16 years and not ONCE have I seen "bagged milk". So this guy must be bull****ting or is in a weird province lol.

RF · January 5th, 2003, 02:08

Yes, we used to get it in bags. Now we have cartons. (We always had cartons, just bags were cheaper.)

Well, personally I always buy the 2L plastic jug of milk. I wouldn't ever go to the grocery store to buy a bag of milk.

RF · January 5th, 2003, 02:31

Heh, in mexico, when u buy a drink at a convienience store, they empty the bottle into a bag and stick a straw in. They want too keep the glass/plastic.
