milk in bags

[bogartnoir 1]

i dated my fiance for SEVEN YEARS before i knew of this phenomenon.

it's not like me to go in and out of someone's fridge if i'm a guest (and lactose intolerant), so i was caught completely unaware.

i came across it (god knows what i was googling at the time) on a canadian site (i read some european countries have bagged milk as well) and was shocked. SHOCKED, I TELL YOU! or at least very bemused at the idea. i demanded to see this "bagged milk" the next time i was in canada and when he came walking in with the infamous pitcher and it was complete culture shock. i have traveled a bit and had never come across milk in bags.

it seems to me that they would be easy to puncture and therefore less desirable?

is this more common in some areas than others? what are the pro's of milk in bags?

Hm, less waste?

Both the big bag and the smaller bags are recyclable.

I don't find them very easy to puncture, but I also never got sharp stuff near them.

I havnt had those things in my house for years, my parents went soy and I dont drink milk anymore.

I still think they're cool though.

Yes, I have seen it... I would think that Storage is one plus for bag milk, it takes up less space and is shipped easier than cartons or jugs... Also the waste factor is a plus... the bags create less waste... They are cheaper to manufacture... We dont have them here, but I would probably buy them if we did...

recyclable is a huge plus. i assumed since they were plastic they probably wouldn't be so.

easy to puncture in the grocery store is really what i meant what with the stocking and sitting on a shelf with pointy-ish cartons...

There's usually always one leaky one I've noticed when I go to grocery stores

But my friend in Poland (where I saw the bag milk) said that the do not last as long as the jug milk because you cannot seal the bags once opened.

i saw bagged milk for the first time in syria. i was looking at it and poking it and my sister in law said its milk. i was like oh ok.

yeah i was wondering about that! are there clips for the bags to close them in the fridge? milk kind of absorbs scents also, so...

i put my milk cartons in the recycling bin, but i don't know if they do recycle them being that they are like, waxed cardboard. so the bags still trump the cartons in that respect.

lol! that was sort of my immediate reaction at the store, too, to jiggle it.

I've never understood the reaction to milk in bags, personally.

I didn't comment on when the milk in my fiance's fridge was in what I consider to be a juice jug.

Bagged milk: nature's silicone.

I lived in Brazil for many years and for a long time there they had milk in guess what? Bags.... I always thought it was kind of weired, but got used to it.

[Sprailenes 47]

It sucks when someone throws you a bag of milk and it bursts all over you... sooo gross.

It's just more portable, less awkward than a big jug in the frdige AND they are easier to pour, less spillage!

From Wikipedia:

Benefits

Milk bags use less plastic than traditional milk jugs and are placed in reusable plastic pitchers. Milk bags are usually made of high-density polyethylene and are recyclable. Milk bags use 75% less plastic than similar-capacity plastic milk bottles. This is beneficial because it reduces overall cost of milk and is more environmentally friendly.[1]

Milk bags are also economical because they hold a smaller amount of milk than milk jugs, which allows for less waste.
