Hey Lemmy, I recently moved from Ontario, land of bagged milk to BC where they don't.

So for the second time since moving, my fresh unopened 4L jug of milk made a small puddle in my fridge before opening it. Does anyone have any tricks to prevent that from happening?

Do I just have to enjoy a fresh glass right after returning from the grocery store?

Yep. Parts of Canada buy their milk in plastic bags, which they cut the corner off of and place in a pitcher. Google it.

I feel obliged to mention in case any poor bastard misreads your post:

which they cut the corner off of and place in a pitcher.

Not in that order.

You're very kind, but you seem to lack a sense of humor.

What's the point of having a radically different milk system if CFAs get it on the first try?

The idea that I, as a Big City Ontarian, in this very specific case, am somehow not a come-from-away is hilarious.

Sorry, eh?

Yeah I may have been using the term a little loosely.

I appreciate the capitalization of

WHAT THE FUCK

This is a prank, right? Like the whole Bielefeld thing? You can't really be trying to tell me Canadians go to a store and WALK OUT WITH MILK IN A PLASTIC BAG??

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You go to the bulk store, grab a plastic bag, and have the clerk pour you a bag full of milk. What's not to understand?

Pour from what?

POUR FROM WHAT??

I'm just messing.

They come in 4L packages, split into three tall 1.33L pouches. You slide the pouch into a pitcher, snip the corner off, and use the pitcher to pour.

If you google milk bags, you'll see what it is.

It's just such a crazy thought to sell a liquid in a bag! Though I could see this actually producing less waste than a carton, since the latter has to be lined on the inside, which isn't easily recyclable.
