      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.

          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.

          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.

        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.

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

          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).
