I'm Canadian born to British parents. I loved Barbados because they were extremely British and had all my favourite brands that Canadians have to pay a fortune for at the British imports stores!
I’m a Canadian that travels to the US quite a bit. I don’t think American products are less sugary. They use high-fructose corn syrup instead of sugar in their foods. I think Canadian foods just taste different (better) because of that. Even their coke doesn’t have real sugar in it.
In the States, look for the glass-bottled sodas, especially in gas stations and convenience stores. Those are often bottled in Mexico or Central America and DO have real sugar in them. Bottled sodas in grocery stores can be weird; I live in Atlanta where Coke is headquartered, and we see just about all of their weird test marketing mistakes.
So you're telling me that someone is Canadian when they can purchase Canadian things commonly sold and marketed to Canadians in Canada? Holy shit my mind is blown you cracked the code. That's not tautological at all! Next you'll tell me some wild nonsense like Americans having access to American flags and guns and monster trucks and...baseballs...?...in the United States makes them recognizably American.

I remember going to Vancouver in the 1980s to party since their drinking age is 19, and remember Hostess brand chips. Several years ago, they seemed to have just disappeared. Also, I never saw bagged milk anywhere in British Columbia. I do remember the Hostess brand seemed completely different than the American one that sold Twinkies. The logo was completely different. I do like the Old Dutch Ketchup chips when I'm there now.
We Amaricans just can't understand Bagged milk😂😂 we get this anxious feeling because we're so used to carton milk that we feel as if it will just pop🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I usually end up swinging the bag a bit when I carry it. ( not on Purpose, it's just kinda something I do without thinking) I bet that would totally make an AMERICAN panic... the bags are much Sturdier than you think
@@Frankie343 There are places in the arctic and sub arctic that freeze milk all the time because everything gets flown in and deliveries can get iffy in the Winter.
Bagged milk is best cause you can open one, and the rest stay fresher, sealed.. Or if your neighbor needs to borrow some milk you just lend them a whole bag instead of a cup or two.
@Jaybay Jay ....... The best thing about bagged milk is you can freeze 2 bags until you need one and they last so much longer that way, unless you have kids of course lol.
@@vivian4949 My Gf's where I grew up we got milk from the cow, I hated that stuff so they had to buy milk to get me to drink it, and now I'm really picky only drink 2% and thawed milk reminds me of it.
"These 2 guys have just been wandering around the store for over 2 hours and all they have grabbed are, chocolate, Joe Louis, Pringles, and bagged milk". "Yeah, I'll call the cops, high for sure"
When I went to Canada to watch my buddy play football I was so confused by the bagged milk. However I will say that the game is very exciting. CFL is a lot of fun.
I'm from Ontario and we put it in a jug. It holds our bagged milk and it makes it easier to pour. 4l of milk in 3 smaller containers. Way easier than a 4l jug lol only issue is if the jug isn't tall enough the bag folds in on itself and dumps everywhere.
when we had the shorter jugs for the bagged milk we would have to bang the bag down so it didn't do that. Now we have a taller one and don't have to worry about that. :D
Californian here - we had bagged milk in elementary/primary school! Individual "pillows" for each kid. You could have chocolate or regular. Furthermore, you drank it by piercing it with a straw directly in the middle and sipping from there. That said, seeing that BIG bag of milk still seemed very different to me, but I like that! Looking forward to eventually exploring Canada and seeing all those subtle differences, and brushing up on my French.
You're welcome to come by Montreal! We can explain all subtle differences, like eco-friendly choices (bagged milk is considered one), healthier products (less salt, less fat, less sugar, bio, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free...).
There's milk in bags here in America. It was available when my daughter was young n it's available now at any Kwik Trip convenience/gas station in the midwest. Old Dutch makes ketchup chips.
Y'all should have tried macintosh toffee! I grew up on it whenever my dad would come back from a fishing/canoeing trip. I have yet to find anything here that even compares to it.
I love these guys. Such a great representation of two guys having friendly banter over cultural nuances. I grew up in NB but have been living in DC area for over 21 years. I still miss home and get a kick out of these two going back and forth. I find myself explaining Canadian jargon to my American friends still to this day.
Jade Portman , I always sigh in exasperation when I find myself looking at French words. I chose to not learn French, & I’ve never had a reason to regret that. But I’m resigned to the fact that the French labeling is necessary in a multi-language country.
@@esthermiller2713 Your a Moron refusing by principe to learn french. You must live in mtl and therefore your a racist type sort of a Rhodesian. No wonder why we want to quit Canada and get our own country, From Quebec whitout love and yes you can keep the rockies. Excuse my english but for sur i am better than you.
Colton Blumhagen You said they don’t make gallon cartons? Tell that to the Germans, I go shopping there quite regularly, and they have cartons of juice, milk etc. Which is in 1 gallon cartons. 🤷🏼♀️
Just FYI for anyone outside of Canada: No-Frills is pretty ghetto. We've got other much nicer grocery store chains. I actually do shop there sometimes, but it's undeniably ghetto.
lol. Getto. I'm always amazed at the suckers that pay 30% more for things at the upper scale grocery chains. Same products and long waits in line at the cashier.
Funny thing about the bagged milk, we had the bagged milk here in Portland Oregon from Albetsons back in the 1960s with the burnt orange colored pitcher. Mom bought it for awhile because it was a novelty. Did not last long.
Born and raised in Western Canada, and only learned about No Frills within the past year or so. I've heard of Moon Pies, but not Jos Louis, and while I knew people who drank bagged milk, mine wasn't a family that did that. And, yes...ketchup chips are awesome, though I don't know why they're unique to this country.
Zuzu Superfly it’s seen as ghetto. I’m pretty sure they are like the lower end store of Superstore, they have the same brands such as No name and Presidents Choice.
@@eliv.o7105 Every grocery store has more or less the exact same products. I've never been to a grocery store that was filled with completely different, "non-ghetto" groceries. The only difference is that some are cheaper than others. That brings me back to the point, why would you shop somewhere just to pay more? If I buy a bag of 2% milk, is it ghetto because I bought it at the wrong store?
I absolutely love the reaction from americans when they see bagged milk or hear of bagged milk. My brother lived in Rochester for 27 yrs and it's always fun to have a conversation about canadian bagged milk.
Yeah ketchup chips and bagged milk are pretty popular here, and No Frills is also a popular store around Canada, and for the milk we use milk jugs that you put a bag of milk inside then you cut an end of the corner to pour the milk out
Painful. Not convenient at all. I just moved to Ontario a few months ago from BC, and can’t stand it. Awkward to cart around, sit in the fridge, cut correctly, watch for spills using new bags, rinsing... 50/50 whether bags are recycled. I want my 4L jugs back.
That does not make sense. No matter the vessel, a family should go through the same amount of milk. If a family needs two gallons a week, buying two gallons in a bag is the same as buying two gallons in a bottle!
Maureen Potter- Christies was in Canada for over 50 years. It was located on a large lot of land in the West End of Toronto and closed down just a few years ago. I worked there for a short time in 1980. I believe they are now using the land to build condos.
Rebecca Johnston , I don’t know how much you know about Canadian ways, but I’ll tell you something in case you weren’t aware of this. 😁 Our country (Canada) is bilingual. We have just ONE province (Quebec) that only speaks French (although I figure most of them have learned English....but are hesitant to admit it...lol ). Consequently, French has been taught in our schools for decades now. (I myself have never had the confidence to learn French,....so in high school I purposely chose the commercial course....to avoid having to learn French. The only other course offered....general......included French). The Canadian law requires that EVERY ITEM sold in Canada MUST have the French translation for every ENGLISH word on the labeling! Inevitably, every time I go to read a label, I find I’m staring at the FRENCH wording!! lol
you got that right! It's called law 101 in Quebec. The law protects our French language (which is compleeetly different sounding than french from France!). If you came to Quebec and heard us talk french, it would be hard to understand depending in what region you are. Although law 101 isn't loved by everyone, it's something that the province stands by, from food packaging to road signs and to employers and employees who must adress the customers in french before any other language. Also, we love our bagged milk 💪
Still it’s different in California. I’m Californian and usually our packaging is English on the front but has instructions in 2-3 languages on the back (usually Spanish and sometimes French and Spanish - French is rarer though)
Christopher , bottom line? Instead of we who only speak English feeling a bit irritated when we find ourselves staring at the printed languages that we don’t understand, we should actually be happy & grateful that it’s proof of caring consideration for those who are able to understand clearly what the information on the labels say in their own language. We must learn to look beyond ourselves to see & appreciate that the needs of others are being met this way.
I'm literally crying that he is babying the milk lol.... I've felt the same the first time I went to an American grocery store.. lol so many different things!
For the longest time I thought it was weird to have milk in cartons because I only ever had bagged milk! And nothing like drinking it right from the bag when it's nice and cold!!!!! Delicious!
Mishka's Makeup & More most of Canada and the EU have milk in the bag, then again they don't pasturize milk either. Raw milk is actually unhealthy for you if you don't drink it the minute it comes from the cow.
Just found these videos and I am HERE FOR IT. I live an hour from buffalo and have travelled NY/Penn. But have never grocery shopped, so it's amazing the little differences here.
I think that if you are a bit curious, you can learn some of another langage by reading packaging. Living in Montréal, I learned a lot of English vocabulary that way. Then, when I was twenty and mostly bilingual, I went to California and lived in an shared appartment with American students for a while. Each of us had to participate to cooking and buying food. That's when I realised that I never learned how "navet" was called in English because there are no canned turnip... 😉
I went to France 2 months ago, and I only studied French until grade 10 so I'm barely conversational at best and my husband was even worse. However, both of us had no issues communicating food because we're familiar with it all from food labels 😂It really helps!
When l lived in the states and would go back to Canada from time to time my American friends would alway ask me to bring back, ketchup chips, coffee crisp bars, and maple syrup. Why bag milk, easy to make, cheaper, and less waste....they say it`s better for the envirornment.
How is it less waste? Plastic bags damage the earth way more the milk container, it's still not biodegradable plastic going into the ocean and landfills
@@Amandahugginkizz It's still less waste. I guarantee a bag used for milk will degrade faster than a plastic carton. Americans would have to buy more milk in glass or paper cartons to make a difference.
@@nateman10 Where I live there is zero community recycling, very little metal recycling (not to mention zero public transit) -- households and businesses simply throw everything away -- so all things equal the best choice for me would be the material that degrades the fastest since I am intent on not recycling. I have started noticing more milk in cartons and may go back to that assuming the price is comparable to gallon jugs of milk. Bags of milk seem like there is less waste by volume.
@@fredner1000 I meant cheaper in Canada i.e. bags vs cartons. Everything is cheaper in the US! I don't mind paying more for food if it means higher minimum wage for employees.
Not sure why bagged milk isn't common world wide. You get more and when it comes to storing it in your fridge, you can throw the unopened bags anywhere. With a carton, once it's open, you have to keep it upright. Jugs take up even more room than the cartons.
Why would you buy the 1% milk though lol us milk taste watery compared to Canadian milk, but 1% tastes watered down no matter what lol should of got atleast 2%
We bought our milk here in Michigan when I was growing up in bags. Quality dairy company sold the plastic pitcher you placed the bag in cut the tip off to use it. Never had a problem with it. They do not do that now but milk was cheaper.
I remember the first time I saw bagged milk at my aunt's house in Scarborough, and was like "cool!" Long ago, I visited my cousin in Etobicoke and seeing 4-litre jugs of milk in plastic, so you did have both for a while. Not every part of Canada seems to have bag milk. And, you can now get ketchup chips in the US but as a localized thing (Herr's or Utz in the east has made them). What I've fallen in love with are all-dressed as well as poutine chips! Definitely Coffee Crisp is very Canadian. One thing I miss in the States for my childhood that you still have in Canada is canned, prepared Five-Alive! We only get it in frozen concentrate the few times I've ever found it here. Also, many brands that have two names started out as different companies that either bought each other, or were bought by a third party. Christie/Nabisco is an example.
You guys crack me up - you’re clearly having fun and keeping things light hearted. Good stuff! We used to have cereals with the word sugar in the name before it was made into a 4-letter word back in the late 70s and most mfrs had to jettison it from their brands and packaging. Super Sugar Crisp became Golden Crisp, and Sugar Smacks became Honey Smacks as two examples. Canada meanwhile still isn’t afraid of that word and still sells those items emblazoned with a huge SUGAR on the front. 😎👍🏻 Props for that. But I still say y’all are savages for having milk in bags, haha!
I brought my friend to a Canadian Liquor STORE...ROFLMAO. She picked up a huge bottle of spirits and I said, we tax that, so check the price, she ended up with a very small bottle. LOL
@@bazz2438 in Quebec to the taxes are included in the wine, spirit and beer when you go to a state owns store. Those stores are the only stores where you can buy spirit ( whisky, rhum, cognac, vodka etc, etc). Look for SAQ stores.
We grew up on MILK IN A BAG. And did have spillage sometimes...there was even a tiny cutter made to cut the tips of the milk bag. We snipped both top ends. If you only cut one end it had a tendancy to collapse and the milk would spill.
Joseph DeBenedictis yeah you buy a bag and buy one of the plastic pour containers snip the bag and there ya go! I never liked milk, but Minnesotans are obsessed with kwik trip so I’d always go to friends house and they’d have bagged milk.
We have cow shares here in Michigan for certified organic raw milk. Just hours out of the cow bag and into my own quart jars. Been using the same jars for over fifteen years. No plastic waste here.
Bag milk🤔 Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa have had “Milk in a bag” for 30 years. KwikTrip Cooperation has its own dairy, has offered bag and plastic jugs for many years.
5:11 Had the same reaction when I moved to Canada (Ontario) a few years ago and saw bagged milk at the store lol. I love Canada but I miss the jugs and affordable milk cartons I would get in the States (milk cartons are inanely expensive here so I usually get the bags).
Hehe 90%? So 90% of Canadians don't live in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces? Bagged milk is great. I have been using it since I was a kid and in several different Provinces. I am in my fifties now. One of the great things about it is you can put one milk bag in the holder(each are 1ltr) and freeze the other two and take out as needed. Big families can stock up when on sale or have fewer trips to the store as well. Also takes up less space in the fridge when you do that. Just pop a new bag in the holder n clip off the corner of the bag and you're good to go. My 74 y/o mother will do that! Something I hadn't considered until I got arthritis is that it is easier for me to grab the handle on the container for the milk bag than it is to lift the heavy carton out and pour and my fingers could never manage the handle on a milk jug.(I do get cartons now and again). Another plus is the thick plastic the individual bags made of. I have never had one leak or break, have had cartons though, allows me to reuse the bags. They make great heavy duty freezer bags. I feel bad for people who don't have the choice.
My Opinion, Clearly, so ridiculous it is still going strong 50 years later. Lol -takes up less space in the fridge if I use one and freeze the rest -can stock up in bulk when on sale and freeze -can pour with one hand, unlike a two liter carton -can reuse the containers it came in over and over - easier for children to pour -fewer drives to the store - the majority of the country find it useful because they use it and even sell out at times - it is cheaper buying 3, 1 ltr bags than the equivalent 2+1 ltr cartons - better for the environment -cheaper to manufacture Those are some of the realized benefits over the years. ;p So are you making the case that wih age, wisdom does not always come? Ridiculous indeed!! ;-)
@@catherinetodd5163 I'm from the east, Have a cabin in Ontario and live in the Midwest now and have never even seen bagged milk before so no not every easterner drinks bagged milk. Alot of my family is back east and they don't drink it from a bag or I would have known it existed
I'm from Alberta as well, I too have never seen bagged milk. Although my fiance who is 10 years older than me says he remembers seeing bagged milk in Alberta as a little kid. 🤷♀️ maybe it was a thing in Alberta many moons ago?
You should have told him you have to balance the open milk bags in the fridge or use it all in one go. :P Also, point out the store hours to him - that's one of the weirdest things that I've found as an American. I have to plan my shopping trips for earlier in the day - I can't decide to roll out at 7pm to get my grocery shopping done or grab some chips and dip for an impromptu movie night. Shower needs a repair? Well, I'm SOL until the next day if it's Sunday afternoon or after 6pm on a weekday. Some places have 24hr stores but you usually have to travel pretty far to find one, while there's always a 24hr Walmart or grocery within 20-30 min of any town in the States (unless they're in the boonies). Also, and it may be the area I am in but y'all think a 45 min drive is long and that's funny as heck too. I'm like, "45 minutes, no problem!".
@@sparklecanada0112 "A lot" to a Canadian is not actually a lot in the States and not everyone in Ontario lives right around the GTA or other metro areas. As I said before, it's a longer drive to get to a 24hr store for some people. With the U.S. having a larger population packed more densely, there are way more accessible shopping options - even small towns with less than 30,000 people have at least one 24hr store like Walmart. In Canada, it seems that there needs to be over 50,000 people to have what Canadians consider "extended" store hours. Prices vary wildly depending on where you shop as well, e.g. you can go 45 min down the road and get the same box of cereal for a dollar less.

I remember going to Vancouver in the 1980s to party since their drinking age is 19, and remember Hostess brand chips. Several years ago, they seemed to have just disappeared. Also, I never saw bagged milk anywhere in British Columbia. I do remember the Hostess brand seemed completely different than the American one that sold Twinkies. The logo was completely different. I do like the Old Dutch Ketchup chips when I'm there now.

Bagged milk is good, because when it goes on sale, you can buy a lot, freeze it and it doesn't take up too much room in the freezer.

Bagged milk is best cause you can open one, and the rest stay fresher, sealed.. Or if your neighbor needs to borrow some milk you just lend them a whole bag instead of a cup or two.
It's actually kind of sweet knowing that Canadians consider bagged milk more convenient if your neighbours need some in a pinch

I'm from Ontario and we put it in a jug. It holds our bagged milk and it makes it easier to pour. 4l of milk in 3 smaller containers. Way easier than a 4l jug lol only issue is if the jug isn't tall enough the bag folds in on itself and dumps everywhere.
when we had the shorter jugs for the bagged milk we would have to bang the bag down so it didn't do that. Now we have a taller one and don't have to worry about that. :D

Californian here - we had bagged milk in elementary/primary school! Individual "pillows" for each kid. You could have chocolate or regular. Furthermore, you drank it by piercing it with a straw directly in the middle and sipping from there. That said, seeing that BIG bag of milk still seemed very different to me, but I like that!

Never seen bagged milk !!!! I’m from Langley a suburb of Vancouver BC
Bag milk started when Canada switched to the metric system. I was easier/cheaper to use bags. Why? I have no idea.
Funny thing about the bagged milk, we had the bagged milk here in Portland Oregon from Albetsons back in the 1960s with the burnt orange colored pitcher. Mom bought it for awhile because it was a novelty. Did not last long.
Born and raised in Western Canada, and only learned about No Frills within the past year or so. I've heard of Moon Pies, but not Jos Louis, and while I knew people who drank bagged milk, mine wasn't a family that did that. And, yes...ketchup chips are awesome, though I don't know why they're unique to this country.

Yeah ketchup chips and bagged milk are pretty popular here, and No Frills is also a popular store around Canada, and for the milk we use milk jugs that you put a bag of milk inside then you cut an end of the corner to pour the milk out
Bag milk is very popular in the province of Quebec, because it is cheaper and convenient for families of 4 persons you don’t have to buy milk so often
And Ontario!
Taryn you are absolutely right thanks
Painful. Not convenient at all. I just moved to Ontario a few months ago from BC, and can’t stand it. Awkward to cart around, sit in the fridge, cut correctly, watch for spills using new bags, rinsing... 50/50 whether bags are recycled. I want my 4L jugs back.
That does not make sense. No matter the vessel, a family should go through the same amount of milk. If a family needs two gallons a week, buying two gallons in a bag is the same as buying two gallons in a bottle!

In California you get packaging info in English, French, and Spanish. It does help you pick up another language.
Rebecca Johnston , I don’t know how much you know about Canadian ways, but I’ll tell you something in case you weren’t aware of this. 😁 Our country (Canada) is bilingual. We have just ONE province (Quebec) that only speaks French (although I figure most of them have learned English....but are hesitant to admit it...lol ). Consequently, French has been taught in our schools for decades now. (I myself have never had the confidence to learn French,....so in high school I purposely chose the commercial course....to avoid having to learn French. The only other course offered....general......included French). The Canadian law requires that EVERY ITEM sold in Canada MUST have the French translation for every ENGLISH word on the labeling! Inevitably, every time I go to read a label, I find I’m staring at the FRENCH wording!! lol
you got that right! It's called law 101 in Quebec. The law protects our French language (which is compleeetly different sounding than french from France!). If you came to Quebec and heard us talk french, it would be hard to understand depending in what region you are. Although law 101 isn't loved by everyone, it's something that the province stands by, from food packaging to road signs and to employers and employees who must adress the customers in french before any other language. Also, we love our bagged milk 💪
Still it’s different in California. I’m Californian and usually our packaging is English on the front but has instructions in 2-3 languages on the back (usually Spanish and sometimes French and Spanish - French is rarer though)
Christopher , bottom line? Instead of we who only speak English feeling a bit irritated when we find ourselves staring at the printed languages that we don’t understand, we should actually be happy & grateful that it’s proof of caring consideration for those who are able to understand clearly what the information on the labels say in their own language. We must learn to look beyond ourselves to see & appreciate that the needs of others are being met this way.

Mishka's Makeup & More most of Canada and the EU have milk in the bag, then again they don't pasturize milk either. Raw milk is actually unhealthy for you if you don't drink it the minute it comes from the cow.
I travel for work & I must bring bagged milk home whenever I go into the Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa area. It tastes better.
When they poured it into the cup, it looked better. Looks as if it has a higher percent of cream than the jug milk we get in the USA..

I think that if you are a bit curious, you can learn some of another langage by reading packaging. Living in Montréal, I learned a lot of English vocabulary that way. Then, when I was twenty and mostly bilingual, I went to California and lived in an shared appartment with American students for a while. Each of us had to participate to cooking and buying food. That's when I realised that I never learned how "navet" was called in English because there are no canned turnip... 😉

How is it less waste? Plastic bags damage the earth way more the milk container, it's still not biodegradable plastic going into the ocean and landfills
@@Amandahugginkizz It's still less waste. I guarantee a bag used for milk will degrade faster than a plastic carton. Americans would have to buy more milk in glass or paper cartons to make a difference.
@@nateman10 Where I live there is zero community recycling, very little metal recycling (not to mention zero public transit) -- households and businesses simply throw everything away -- so all things equal the best choice for me would be the material that degrades the fastest since I am intent on not recycling. I have started noticing more milk in cartons and may go back to that assuming the price is comparable to gallon jugs of milk. Bags of milk seem like there is less waste by volume.
The issue with bagged milk is that you can't reseal it so it picks up other flavors from the fridge.

Not sure why bagged milk isn't common world wide. You get more and when it comes to storing it in your fridge, you can throw the unopened bags anywhere. With a carton, once it's open, you have to keep it upright. Jugs take up even more room than the cartons.
Why would you buy the 1% milk though lol us milk taste watery compared to Canadian milk, but 1% tastes watered down no matter what lol should of got atleast 2%
I drink skim because I can't digest anything else. If I try to drink milk with the dairy fat still in it I get sick.

2% or homogenized is the choice for me

I remember the first time I saw bagged milk at my aunt's house in Scarborough, and was like "cool!" Long ago, I visited my cousin in Etobicoke and seeing 4-litre jugs of milk in plastic, so you did have both for a while. Not every part of Canada seems to have bag milk. And, you can now get ketchup chips in the US but as a localized thing (Herr's or Utz in the east has made them). What I've fallen in love with are all-dressed as well as poutine chips!
Definitely Coffee Crisp is very Canadian.
One thing I miss in the States for my childhood that you still have in Canada is canned, prepared Five-Alive! We only get it in frozen concentrate the few times I've ever found it here.
Also, many brands that have two names started out as different companies that either bought each other, or were bought by a third party. Christie/Nabisco is an example.
You guys crack me up - you’re clearly having fun and keeping things light hearted. Good stuff!
We used to have cereals with the word sugar in the name before it was made into a 4-letter word back in the late 70s and most mfrs had to jettison it from their brands and packaging. Super Sugar Crisp became Golden Crisp, and Sugar Smacks became Honey Smacks as two examples. Canada meanwhile still isn’t afraid of that word and still sells those items emblazoned with a huge SUGAR on the front. 😎👍🏻 Props for that.
But I still say y’all are savages for having milk in bags, haha!
I brought my friend to a Canadian Liquor STORE...ROFLMAO. She picked up a huge bottle of spirits and I said, we tax that, so check the price, she ended up with a very small bottle. LOL

Hehe 90%? So 90% of Canadians don't live in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces?
Bagged milk is great. I have been using it since I was a kid and in several different Provinces. I am in my fifties now. One of the great things about it is you can put one milk bag in the holder(each are 1ltr) and freeze the other two and take out as needed. Big families can stock up when on sale or have fewer trips to the store as well. Also takes up less space in the fridge when you do that. Just pop a new bag in the holder n clip off the corner of the bag and you're good to go. My 74 y/o mother will do that!
Something I hadn't considered until I got arthritis is that it is easier for me to grab the handle on the container for the milk bag than it is to lift the heavy carton out and pour and my fingers could never manage the handle on a milk jug.(I do get cartons now and again). Another plus is the thick plastic the individual bags made of. I have never had one leak or break, have had cartons though, allows me to reuse the bags. They make great heavy duty freezer bags.
I feel bad for people who don't have the choice.
Catherine Todd I over 60 and we realized how ridiculous it was 🤣
My Opinion, Clearly, so ridiculous it is still going strong 50 years later. Lol
-takes up less space in the fridge if I use one and freeze the rest
-can stock up in bulk when on sale and freeze
-can pour with one hand, unlike a two liter carton
-can reuse the containers it came in over and over
- easier for children to pour
-fewer drives to the store
- the majority of the country find it useful because they use it and even sell out at times
- it is cheaper buying 3, 1 ltr bags than the equivalent 2+1 ltr cartons
- better for the environment
-cheaper to manufacture
Those are some of the realized benefits over the years. ;p
So are you making the case that wih age, wisdom does not always come?
Ridiculous indeed!! ;-)

I'm from Alberta as well, I too have never seen bagged milk. Although my fiance who is 10 years older than me says he remembers seeing bagged milk in Alberta as a little kid. 🤷♀️ maybe it was a thing in Alberta many moons ago?
@@whitneykaye It was a thing in Alberta. We also had a person that delivered it to the doorstep, we called him the milkman.
In Canada, B/ M baked beads, were under the Underwood name, where here Underwood was deviled ham.
You should have told him you have to balance the open milk bags in the fridge or use it all in one go. :P
Also, point out the store hours to him - that's one of the weirdest things that I've found as an American. I have to plan my shopping trips for earlier in the day - I can't decide to roll out at 7pm to get my grocery shopping done or grab some chips and dip for an impromptu movie night.
Shower needs a repair? Well, I'm SOL until the next day if it's Sunday afternoon or after 6pm on a weekday. Some places have 24hr stores but you usually have to travel pretty far to find one, while there's always a 24hr Walmart or grocery within 20-30 min of any town in the States (unless they're in the boonies).
Also, and it may be the area I am in but y'all think a 45 min drive is long and that's funny as heck too. I'm like, "45 minutes, no problem!".
LOL I would have loved to see his reaction about balancing the milk in the fridge. HAHAHAHA
There are a lot of 24 hr grocery stores in Ontario.
Not all grocery stores close down early.
@@sparklecanada0112 "A lot" to a Canadian is not actually a lot in the States and not everyone in Ontario lives right around the GTA or other metro areas. As I said before, it's a longer drive to get to a 24hr store for some people.
With the U.S. having a larger population packed more densely, there are way more accessible shopping options - even small towns with less than 30,000 people have at least one 24hr store like Walmart.
In Canada, it seems that there needs to be over 50,000 people to have what Canadians consider "extended" store hours.
Prices vary wildly depending on where you shop as well, e.g. you can go 45 min down the road and get the same box of cereal for a dollar less.
