They do that in Canada. The US sells milk in plastic jugs or cardboard cartons.
Comment on Let's confuse Americans!
Hupf@feddit.de 11 months agoI 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.

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.

What state sells bagged milk? Don’t think I’ve ever run across it in the US.
Ilovemyirishtemper@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You can get it in Wisconsin, but it’s not super common. We mostly use the plastic jugs or glass bottles.
OnToTheFuture@thelemmy.club 11 months ago
Irishtemper got it right! Wisconsin, we have it here at the Kwik trips. Might be in other places too, but that’s where I go to get it.

Bagged milk is used in food service a LOT.
vivadanang@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Bag is actually used a ton in food service in the US too.
x4740N@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They definitely don’t do this in america, tf
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They do in Wisconsin
bitwolf@lemmy.one 11 months ago
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.
MycoBro@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Ummm. What?
Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.

that sounds so fucking stupid

We had that in Europe too, but I don’t see these anymore.
Aceticon@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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).

Quebec and Ontario have it, having been to both of those provinces
Coreidan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve never once seen milk sold in a bag
pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
wtf does it just come in a carton like oat milk or something?
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It comes in plastic jugs.

That’s Canada
Gladaed@feddit.de 11 months ago
Probably meant the continent, not USA.
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 11 months ago
There’s no continent called “America”
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Some count North and South America as one continent, hence, America
tuxtey@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s pronounced 'Murica🦅🦅🦅🎆🎆🎆
slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Bagged milk is not exclusive to, nor ubiquitous in, the continents either.
Renacles@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
Also Argentina, most of America does this I believe.
nuez_jr@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I’ve only ever seen this in South America, yeah.
ICastFist@programming.dev 11 months ago
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 11 months ago
That’s America too.
SCB@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve literally never seen that happen in America and I’ve lived in 5 states, both rural and urban.
caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
They meant Canada is American
MrShankles@reddthat.com 11 months ago
I saw it in Louisiana. For a few months, my high-school cafeteria was giving us milk in a bag. Like individual-size bags that you poked a straw into. I was very confused the first time I saw it
