Not American, what is this?

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago (7 children)

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.

Probably meant the continent, not USA.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There’s no continent called “America”

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some count North and South America as one continent, hence, America

[–] not_afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ok I am counting Africa and Europe as one now except Greenland, that is its own thing.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

You don't need my permission for that

[–] tuxtey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's pronounced 'Murica🦅🦅🦅🎆🎆🎆

[–] Renacles@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Also Argentina, most of America does this I believe.

[–] nuez_jr@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Common in small, neighborhood markets in Brazil, but most milk is sold in the paper/aluminum tetra paks due to longer shelf life

I've literally never seen that happen in America and I've lived in 5 states, both rural and urban, and have visited over 30.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They meant Canada is American

[–] SCB@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Ah, that's a good joke then

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] SCB@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's wild. I'd love to try milk in a bag.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They had them in my elementary school back in the 90s. Haven't seen one since then. They were pretty cool though. I'm sure some people would buy it if they brought it back for nostalgia.

[–] SCB@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'd be there for damn sure.

Gotta be easier to ship, too, which means it's certainly cheaper.

I had it once while abroad. It tastes like milk.

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They definitely don't do this in america, tf

[–] bitwolf@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

They do in Wisconsin

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I used to work in a kitchen 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 bottles of milk.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

that sounds so fucking stupid

[–] helmet91@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We had that in Europe too, but I don't see these anymore.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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).

[–] trekman10@union.place 4 points 2 years ago

Quebec and Ontario have it, having been to both of those provinces

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I’ve never once seen milk sold in a bag
