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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
That’s Canada
Probably meant the continent, not USA.
Bagged milk is not exclusive to, nor ubiquitous in, the continents either.
There’s no continent called “America”
Some count North and South America as one continent, hence, America
Ok I am counting Africa and Europe as one now except Greenland, that is its own thing.
Hence, euroafrica.
You don’t need my permission for that
It’s pronounced 'Murica🦅🦅🦅🎆🎆🎆
Also Argentina, most of America does this I believe.
I’ve only ever seen this in South America, yeah.
Common in small, neighborhood markets in Brazil, but most milk is sold in the paper/aluminum tetra paks due to longer shelf life
That’s America too.
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.
They meant Canada is American
Ah, that’s a good joke then

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

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.
They do that in Canada. The US sells milk in plastic jugs or cardboard cartons.

What state sells bagged milk? Don’t think I’ve ever run across it in the US.
You can get it in Wisconsin, but it’s not super common. We mostly use the plastic jugs or glass bottles.
Bagged milk is used in food service a LOT.
Irishtemper got it right! Wisconsin, we have it here at the Kwik trips. Might be in other places too, but that’s where I go to get it.
Bag is actually used a ton in food service in the US too.
They definitely don’t do this in america, tf
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.
They do in Wisconsin
Ummm. What?
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.

Quebec and Ontario have it, having been to both of those provinces
that sounds so fucking stupid
I’ve never once seen milk sold in a bag
wtf does it just come in a carton like oat milk or something?
It comes in plastic jugs.
