We do actually have the bag and jug too! I love getting my milk at Kwik Trip because that’s how they sell it. And it just tastes better. If it weren’t so damn expensive, I’d force my household to convert to it.
I used to work in a kitxhen of a well-known chain pub in the UK and our mill came in in bags. Saved on alot of waste as we only needed one plastic jug and the bags used significantly less plastic than bottlesnof milk.
In my experience, it depends on the country and it’s only in some stores - I vaguelly remember getting milk like that at some point, which I think it was in The Netherlands.
Mind you, it’s more climate friendly than plastic bottles and likely glass (even with recycling).

I think in America, they sell milk in soft plastic bags to be cut open, so you have to put them in these jugs for stability and handling.

That’s Canada

Probably meant the continent, not USA.
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 7 months ago
There’s no continent called “America”

Bagged milk is not exclusive to, nor ubiquitous in, the continents either.

Also Argentina, most of America does this I believe.

I’ve only ever seen this in South America, yeah.

Common in small, neighborhood markets in Brazil, but most milk is sold in the paper/aluminum tetra paks due to longer shelf life
unoriginalsin@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That’s America too.
SCB@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’ve literally never seen that happen in America and I’ve lived in 5 states, both rural and urban.
Jyek@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
They do that in Canada. The US sells milk in plastic jugs or cardboard cartons.

What state sells bagged milk? Don’t think I’ve ever run across it in the US.
vivadanang@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Bag is actually used a ton in food service in the US too.
x4740N@lemmy.world 7 months ago
They definitely don’t do this in america, tf

Yeah I’ve only ever gotten the plastic gallons and cartons of milk.
I was half thinking this was a plastic meme since everything is plastic here.
