You guys drink milk out of bags? We use glass, plastic, or cardboard jugs down in the States.
Some places do things a bit differently. More news at 11
It's not even all of Canada, just Ontario, Quebec, and the maritimes
In eastern Canada. I've never even seen it in western Canada.
Yea, it's shipped in a rectangular bag. It goes into a milk holder that holds the bag snug, and you snip the corner off so it pours like a spout. The jug that holds it provides the handle and stability for the bag. When the bag is empty, toss it, put the next bag in.
That sounds like a pretty good system once you have the jug, assuming those bags don't look like jellyfish to sea turtles.
Is the bag held really well by the milk holder? I'd always worry about the bag tipping out of the milk holder, while pouring.
Yea, I've been using it all my life and never once had a bag fall out.
Well enough. The bag of milk forces enough air that it's basically suction held until the milk's almost gone.
