  That…looks so messy! I know there’s no crying over spilled milk, but have you SEEN the price of dairy??? Gotta work a second job just to afford breakfast!

    You put em bags into a hard pitcher thing you have at home, and cut the corner. So I guess it’s a bit less waste

    That guy REALLY should have put an explanation there. Afaik there’s one province in Canada that still uses bags. Historically (30 years ago) many countries have used bags. Today most use either tetrapak, smaller bottle style plastic (0.25, 0.5, 1.0 litres) or actual bottles.

      Isn’t that an Atlantic Canada thing? I know Quebec has them, and I’m pretty sure we weren’t the only ones in Canada with bagged milks.

    It’s not messy, unless you make it messy.

    How much does milk cost where you live? Maybe it’s just because I live close to the source but milk is around $3 a gallon for me. For another data point eggs are around $2 a dozen, often on sale for $1 (current exchange rates are around 1:1 for dollars to euros for those in euroland)
