Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs

• RoastedMarshmallow@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  I’ve lived in various provinces in Canada. West of Ontario I really only see the waxed-paper cartons or the plastic jugs, stores carry both equally. Eastern Canada carries the plastic bags (and everyone has a plastic container at home they place them in after snipping the bag corner) and often the cartons. Bit weird the custom changes across Canada, and coming from the west I was very confused about the bagged milk when I first moved to Ontario.

  Maybe someone else can comment on their experiences. I’ve never seen bagged milk in a store in the prairies (but I only lived in major cities).

    They had milk in 1.3 L bags (sold in packs of 3 for 4 L) in Manitoba about 35 or 40 years ago.

  Tbh, I haven’t seen bagged milk for quite a while where I live in Canada. It’s typically cartons for 2L or less (though sometimes mini plastic jugs too) and plastic jugs as in OP for 4L.

    Still very much a thing in Eastern Canada.

      Interesting how it varies across the country.

  Well, a bag holding 3 x 1.3L bags.
