WAIT.
Is this some kind of fucking joke? Is this person SERIOUSLY telling me that Canadians drink milk out of a bag?
WHAT… THE… FUCK??
I was mesmerized by this video because I was waiting for the punchline, and yet? THERE ISN’T ONE! This person is thoroughly convinced that Canadians drink milk out of a plastic bag! And I have to admit, she makes a pretty convincing case! But it’s not true, right? It can’t be! Because if it is… that is so fucked in the head!
Poll time!
What’s Your Opinion of Canadians Allegedly Drinking Milk From a Bag?
we used to totally drink milk in bags. late 70’s in astoria. we did all this – the triangle cut and the milk jug.
Well, many of us drank milk from a bag when we were babies.
Unfortuantely the video isn’t working for me, but I grew up in Canada and yes…milk can be purchased in plastic bags (usually it’s 3 bags sold in a big bag). Most every Canadian (when I was a kid anyways) had a hard plastic rectangle receptacle with a handle that the bag went into. Canadians also have the option of buying the carton or containers of milk, but the plastic bags cut down on a lot of waste.
Those enormous milk dispensers they use in cafeterias use milk in bags. They even have a long plastic teat that they snip the end off and you use for dispensing.
First milk bags and now “clothes pegs”?? WTF is happening up there!?
If you’re having trouble viewing this totally effed in the head video, here’s the link.

Of course any fan of christian Ska rock band Five Iron Frenzy would already know the answer to this question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIrmPEyt0Nc
totally had those at my high school cafeteria in texas.
These milk bags don’t even come CLOSE to my favorite milk bags, if you get my drift.
That’s awesome. I appreciate that this girl understands this custom is strange enough that she needs to video a detailed explanation of how it works.
Gotta get back to Canada. It’s the little differences….
From my Canadian friend:
“hahahahah. yep! milk in a bag! runner up to the beer store for cool canadian quirky things.”
I’d take milk in a bag over the Costco milk jugs. Those stupid things don’t pour very well.
They sold milk in bags in every store in Portland for a time in the 70’s and 80’s. It looks like the Canadians bought our old packaging machines.
I sometimes drink wine out of a bag. The bag sits in a cardboard box, but still, it is just a plastic bag. What is wrong with doing the same thing with milk? The plastic jugs most people use in the US uses a plastic that leaches into the milk when exposed to light and causes cancer, (it makes it taste funny too,) I don’t know why we think THAT is a good idea. Milk in cartons is safe, as in wine in a bag in a box.
But like good wine, good milk comes in glass bottles.
The bags don’t pour well and they tend to shift in the pitcher as you are pouring, resulting in a milk tsunami. The pitchers would get nasty if you didn’t clean them after each bag. The unopened bags do not stand up in the fridge, so one gallon of bag milk takes up as much space as two or three gallons of jug milk.
Ask anyone over 35 or so, Americans had bag milk. What may have killed bag milk in this country is that the bags are not recycleable.
What did her shirt say? Canada and underneath ‘done’?
