It's funny that all these non-Canadians are struggling to understand this, though we've known and understood it since we were toddlers.
MilkSteakNJellybeans
Milkbags.Jugs. ( • Y • ) teehee
ComicSansAlert
As a Canadian, I had no idea what the hell this bagged shit was until I moved to Ontario.
CheeseCubed
Also, unlike jugs, milk bags aren't recyclable
UsePNGnotJPEG
Yes they are, it just depends where you live. They're recycle here.
NationofBeautys
As an Albertan, I also think bagged milk is stupid. Jugs are way more convenient. And convenience means less effort. I like less effort.
EroticZombiePants
That's too many steps for my damn milk.
ChemicalPizza
As a female, my milk bags are only available in a 2-pack. Take that, commies!

We used to have milk in bags in Spain. In the early 80's. Then Tetrabrick appeared. Welcome to 20th Century, guys.
Theertzuinianer
You still live in 19hundred something?
eezee
Tetra Pak is where it's at.
wompwompwomp
I don't get the big issue. As an American, I've had milk in a bag. We just got it from different places, like Kwik Trip.
wererat2000
...you need google to use common sense?
TownsendV228
Apparently, google is sometimes required for those who lack common sense.

As a Canadian I have only ever seen milk bags on the internet.

longlivecats
Milk absorbs odors, hence why you should seal it and not leave an open bag of milk in refrigerator. Unless you like sour milk.
captainpizza
The opening in the bag is small enough that this honestly isn't an issue, it'll be fine for like a week
longlivecats
And milk lasts longer if its closed and not left open and "exposed to the elements" of the barren arctic of my rotten ramen.
UsePNGnotJPEG
Never had this problem, have never sealed a bag of milk.
JustKindOfClever
But why keep the bag in the pitcher? Why not pour the milk into the pitcher and toss the bag?
ManlyGirlscout
thus comes the reason to just get a carton/glass/plastic container
JustKindOfClever
Doesnt keeping the bag in the pitcher get troublesome when it runs low?
ishouldbedoinghw
This is a much better idea.
DontEatTheCrabDipYeyay
No, the milk would oxidize much faster, thus going bad quicker.
ishouldbedoinghw
True, I'm thinking more like an old-timey milk bottle than a juice pitcher though.
bakezilla
Because you would have to wash the pitcher between refills. Plus, it's very difficult to pour from the bag if it is not already contained
parker52
Why do you touch yourself at night?
JustKindOfClever
Now we're asking the real questions
TheBoomQueen
You know why.
preaction
There's a slit in the front of the jug that you fold over the cut end and put into to seal. We have these in Wisconsin, it's cheap as hell.
JustASmallTownMinnesotanImgurlLivingInALonelyWorld
Minnesota too, at Kwik Trip!
PastaJesus
Aren't they the greatest! They finally put some in in Duluth and it's awesome!
JustASmallTownMinnesotanImgurlLivingInALonelyWorld
I freaking LOVE KT. But maybe that's because I work there and all my coworkers and guests are all so awesome. :)
NotSoMuch
Wait, 4 liters in 3 bags?? Why not just make 1 liter bags? And what do you do if you don't want to buy that much milk at once?
notsophi
Because you only open them as you need them, they last awhile. Or you can get a small carton, but most buy bags. Better deal.
captainpizza
Where Im from in Ontario, Milk is also available in 1L and 2L cartons
Bertholomew
I've wondered for years why the milk bags aren't 1L each.
VonGod
No need.
TheDogEnd
Buy a carton. Bagged milk is for families/people that really like milk.

As someone who lives in Ontario: cartons are so rare here! They taste so much better than bagged milk
TheComedienne
This is the real argument: which one tastes better
IsDisassembled
They taste the exact same. My parents buy in bags due to cost, I buy in cartons because I can't drink that much milk in under 2 weeks myself
alcaste
I cannot stand cartons. So much more expensive, and they never open right for me.
themasterzulf
Because cartons and bags are lame. Jugs are where it's at
celticvenom
In MN you can get it but only at Kwik Trip

DerpHerperson
Seconded
FartBoner69
And as far as keeping it sealed, you just twist the bag and put the corner in that J shaped thing at the lip of the carton
PeterMus
Bags are easier and cheaper to ship than jugs. You close it using a bag clip (like with chips).
misskinzy
Now I want milk clips shaped like nipples :)

Having a "body like a milk bag" serves as an insult.
RatalieArcadia
You useless bloody BAG OF MILK! Yep, it checks out.
Caniac
Or a bawdy compliment "Check out the Sacks of Milk on that Muliebrous Tellurian"
absurdum123
Unless you seal that bag the milk WILL go bad faster than in a bottle/capped jug. In Norway it comes in carton for easy recycling
captainpizza
True, but the opening is small so its not that much of an issue, where im from there are also smaller cartons if you don't use much milk
absurdum123
Not an expert, but pretty sure air and bacteria don't care about the size of the opening.
captainpizza
They absolutely do, smaller openings mean less air circulation
absurdum123
Would love to see some sort of calculation on how much longer an open bag of milk lasts if the hole is 50% smaller. Probably not 50% longer
Threns
See! The fucking Scandinavians figure out the balance once again!
robert054321
Also, why is it easy to recycle cartons with tiny bits of milk left inside of them? Isn't it gonna get gross?
absurdum123
Here we rinse them. Not really an issue. We don't just toss cartons with milk in them
robert054321
But each bag is small, so it's quickly finished before it can go bad. Also it has no weird milk crust stuff
absurdum123
Milk crust? Never seen/heard of that. What is it?
robert054321
If the milk jar has a lid on it, over time, there will be some milk that just kinda dries and ferments around the lid.
absurdum123
ah, like with a jar that is reused? Explains why I've never seen it
BlessYourBeautifulHide
How much milk is in one bag?
robert054321
1/3 gallon ish so about 3-4 bowls of cereal?
TownsendV228
Seriously though, what exactly is the point in using Milk Bags? Seems rather unnecessary.
timtheenchanter3
I find it easier to poor too. And you don't need to seal it.
UsePNGnotJPEG
Less plastic used, more space efficient for transportation. And there aren't really any downsides.
TownsendV228
Good point. Apart from a little extra time to pour a glass of milk carefully, there's no real downside.
UsePNGnotJPEG
Once when I was little I accidentally cut too big of a corner off and it poured too fast. That's the only issue I've had :)
TownsendV228
They are also squishy when they are in milk bags. Used to entertain the hell out of me when I was younger for some strange reason.
OhNoIBlinked
The bags keeps the milk fresher (you just open another when you finish one). I moved to the states and I noticed that milk in jugs 1/2
TownsendV228
If it keeps the bag fresher than I might have to reconsider my stance on this...
OhNoIBlinked
go bad WAY faster!! I miss my milk bags!! 2/2
TownsendV228
The cartons we have in Australia usually last a month. Not sure about milk bags though. Haven't had one in a long, long time.
TownsendV228
Woops. I meant "if it keeps the milk* fresher".
preaction
Less materials means cheaper packaging and less waste. Take up less space on shelves. The bags are significantly less expensive than jugs.
LetheTheArtificer
How much does your milk cost because I'm having a hard time believing you guys get it that cheaply. Our gallon is usually USD$2.50-3.00.
preaction
I don't live there anymore, but the bags were half-gallons and around $1 (skim) to $1.20 (whole).
LetheTheArtificer
Honestly didn't know Canada had that large of a Dairy trade to make it that cheap, cool.
preaction
Not Canada, Wisconsin, sorry. There's one gas station chain in WI that sells its own bag milk. (if it were Canada, I think they use Liters)
docweird
How about just using a friggin' carton? Recyclable, costs next to nothing... http://www.fishfood.fi/i/kuvat/tiedotteet/valio_maito_big.jpg
jo0nes
Yeah! I thought they used those everywhere. I live in Sweden and it's hard to find a bag of milk
TownsendV228
Fair enough. I suppose you could also stick a straw in it and drink from it rather than having to pour it into a cup.
LetheTheArtificer
See this I can get behind, that's a good idea.
TownsendV228
Brilliant idea haha.

Would be odd, but I guess doable?
ThreePointOneFourOneFiveNineTwoSix
As a Canadian, this is perfectly normal. The milk is perfectly fine for weeks even with a little hole in it. It's pasteurized, people.
RedPorridgeNCream
how can you still have milk after several weeks? how???
Squossifrage
Regular pasteurized milk doesn't keep for weeks. UHT milk does, but the UHT process partially caramelizes it, so it tastes sweet.
cmc8290
I dunno, I feel like if I left the cap off a milk jug for a few weeks in my fridge, it would smell like Funkytown
IReallyCantThinkofAnythingSmartsoImStickingWithThisInstead
It is normal. I've only had jugged milk once in my life, that was weird.
BroadCrasher
I cut a tiny hole in the other tip too so air can get in while pouring...
TehAccountant
but the fridge taste... ugh
catwithacat
I'm from WI, Kwik Trip sells milk in bags. I grew up with that wonderful shit. Didn't realize it was odd.
DerpHerperson
We Wisconsinites are closer to Canadian than we are many American states. Also, milk bags and Kwik Trip are big parst of my childhood.
catwithacat
True. Best part about college is that there's still a Kwik Trip within a mile of where I live.

Opened food only goes bad in the fridge when you have bad stuff in the fridge. Mold begets mold, basically. Other than that it's fine.

SpiffGriff

the "velcro" ones are so much easier

This is better, cause it let's you keep the rest fresher longer if you don't use it as fast, by keeping the other bags sealed.

RadioSuki
Many things in Europe are irradiated, like milk and eggs. I was in London for a few weeks and saw eggs on grocery shelves, not refrigerated.
Mullenkedheim
this isn't about irradiation. Eggs in America are washed, which destroys cuticle, which allows contamination. Not so in Europe.
NK892
Here in Wisconsin, Kwik Trip stores sell milk in bags. The free pitchers have a little curved notch to tuck the cut corner of the bag into
MrJohnsonAndTheJuiceCrew
why the fuck did it take 12 hours for someone to give me an actual answer? jesus h titty-fucking christ
brandnew94
No, it takes probably just as long as a carton. Milk never goes bad in my house.
wompwompwomp
I'm pretty sure there's a bit at the end to pinch the end. I haven't had bagged milk since I was a kid though.
chodesparche
Of course not.
ColonelsRecipe
All the bag milk i've bought (wisconsin) has had a clip thing on the jug for you to twist the open part into "sealing" it. Has always lasted
Fireguy97
After 30+ years of experience with them, it doesn't go bad any faster than a sealed gallon jug.
tonythetiger583
100 years
asthmathug
Naw man. It lasts just as long (experience:Canadian )
FartBoner69
We have them in Wisconsin. You twist the open corner shut, pinch it and place it in a little loop bracket thing. Takes no time at all.
bigcoop
My milk taste like onions!!
ImTheOneWhoTookYourRug
I guess Americans could just use a twisty tie to help get over that "All food must be sealed in air-tight bodybags" mentality.
nasalvacuum
I mean, milk comes from a cow at above ambient temperature, so sitting out open in a fridge is fine
thotsandprers
Ummm...no..they don't go bad just because they aren't sealed shut..as long as it's refrigerated they stay good for a few days..and have you1
thotsandprers
Seen the size of that packet? How long do you expect them to last anyways?
bimbumbim
Actually keeping milk in a clear container (gallon jug) is worse because it's the light that seems to do more damage. That's why cartons.
ockraz
close the refrigerator door and the light goes out
ockraz
It only matters if you bring jug/carton to the table rather than putting it back after pouring a cup
wtfeyebrows
all i can think about is in fightclub the book they mention how dairy tends to hold smells. funky funky fridge smells.
igotausernamejusttotellyou
So, and mind you I'm American so it may be different elsewhere, but the pitcher the milk bag goes into has a bit that closes the bag off.
EvilDustMan
It was Coelasquid, canadian writer of punchlineismachismo, said 'yea, but the bags pop if you look at them funny, why are we proud of this'

some european countries sell milk that doesn't need refrigeration because it's been irradiated. s nothing alive in it to cause spoilage
Atomsk
No, that's called sterilized milk. Boiled shortly to kill the germs. Doesn't taste as good as pasteurized milk of course.
AmyBethMegJo
I'm sure it would not spoil any faster, but I would be concerned about it picking up odors from other foods if the bag was not sealed.
ICantThinkOfAGoodUsernameSoIWillSettleWithThisOne
I once had a bunch of blueberries in the fridge with an open bag of milk and they made the milk taste like blueberries.
dudeinsha
You stole words from my keyboard.
ockraz
exactly! it won't spoil, but leaving it unsealed will affect the taste because the refrigerator circulates the air past everything
thevoiceinyourhead
it doesn't really. the bag usually lasts less than a week in our house anyways (3 people) so maybe if it was in there longer it would.

MrJohnsonAndTheJuiceCrew
uhh yes they do, it just takes longer. opened milk will go bad in a few days even in the fridge
IMakeEverythingSexual
Why?
MrJohnsonAndTheJuiceCrew
...thats a good question, actually. something about airtight containers or something...i aint a orcket scientist
IMakeEverythingSexual
There may be a different but I doubt it's very substantial. We used milk bags and I never noticed them going bad faster
squidbastard
Bacteria fool, its not like getting slightly cool will kill them, it just inhibits their growth, or every winter my acne would clear up.
weeliittleone
So I've been using milk bags my whole life and just learned about the sealing clips today. Even without them the milk stays good for...
arcticstroke
.....atleast 3 years
weeliittleone
...a week or more, and the flavour doesn't change (we buy milk cartons too, so easy for me to compare)
weeliittleone
also smaller portions in the bag means it gets finished quickly and replaced
whyexactly
A carton doesn't seal it any better.
ockraz
jug- with screw tight cap
whyexactly
I'm just saying cartons go past the expiration without any problems, so a bag is no different.
teaismylife
you cut a small corner off the tip, you can buy clips but not needed. Our milk usually lasts in the fridge for a week after being opened.
internetcelebrity
A week is not a very long time...
scrollock
Pretty sure what was meant is that it's gone in a week. I don't know how long milk sits in your fridge for, but it's the same with mine.
teaismylife
I think it can last longer but we drink it before that ever happens.
Buretsu
And tastes like every single thing in your fridge at the same time. Yum!
kookyabird
It really doesn't.
clutchthepearls
Truth. Foods higher in fats will absorb flavors from everything else
Toasterpops
No it doesn't. Source, being a Canadian
teaismylife
I've never had that issue.
UsePNGnotJPEG
Have you tasted it? I have, and it doesn't.
ACatNamedVirtute
You just haven't had uncontaminated milk before.
UsePNGnotJPEG
Actually half the milk we buy comes in plastic jugs. It depends which store we're at when we get it. It tastes the same.
MrJohnsonAndTheJuiceCrew
always wrong forever all the time.....but milk bags sound like a really stupid idea. cartons or gtfo
moreoats
In my house, milk gets ingested too quickly for it to even think about going bad.
SnugglesMcgee
BOTTLES! Bottles?
CrocodileTears19
Yeah. I never like to have anything open in the fridge. Seems like a bad idea
LessThanHumbleScott
What the fuck kind of milk are you drinking that oxidizes?
RenaldxD
GTFO: Go To Fudge Oasis. THANKS I SO BAD WANTED TO!!!
magulagie
Unless you have some rank shit that will crawl into the milk bag in your fridge, theres no problem. Cartons aren't airtight either.
rebeccaisafish
but a bottle with a lid is, or close enough anyway. AUSTRALIA FROWNS ON THESE WEIRD BAGS.
absurdum123
Abit more airtight than a plastic bag with a hole in it, though
Shadowflash
They last for a while. If you want extra freshness, you can use clips to seal the bag. But, honestly, it doesn't matter.
BlueShwagger
Amen!
vanella
The carton milk last for a long time, the plastic bottles, the milk goes bad fast after you've opened them. I think it's the light-exposure?

Ishdakitty
I chuckled at your comment. I mean I'm not proud of it, but I did.
cornedbeefhash
I buy milk in a bag, and the jug for it has a little hook on the spout, you twist the cut bit of bag and hook it.
MrJohnsonAndTheJuiceCrew
if only there was a device that both held the milk AND secured it inside.....
[deleted]
[deleted]
HappierThanASlinkyOnAnEscalator
ok so is there something holding the bag in the jug? Cuz i feel like if u tip it for the last bit of milk the bag will just fall out
cornedbeefhash
And just to blow your minds, I'm a 'Merican. Born and raised in the midwest, and not on a farm, big city thankyouverymuch.
kenevin
Cartons aren't airtight either...there's no difference. Think about it...
rebeccaisafish
Cartons aren't the only other way milk comes. Mine comes in a bottle like the one pictured, only smaller.
RobertPaulsen
Cartons with screwcorks
waela
Jugs are...
kenevin
Yeh, but nobody flips out over milk coming in cartons :p
waela
The only milk cartons we have where I live have plastic screw-on caps. People have weird milk receptacles.
HereForTheRecipes
Single people usually don't buy bags, but it's convenient for families who go through a lot of wilk in a week
HereForTheRecipes
plus it's easier to store than a gallon jug
moreoats
When I lived on my own, I still bought the 3 pack..fuckin' love milk.
MrJohnsonAndTheJuiceCrew
because a twist top is hard?
rebeccaisafish
What do they buy if not bags? Is there another option in Canada?
HereForTheRecipes
Yeah, there are 2 litre and 1 litre cartons
rebeccaisafish
Then why do people buy bags?
NoUsernamesAreLeft
Nah we got them in Canada it doesn't go bad for a while
MrJohnsonAndTheJuiceCrew
define a while. no seriously, im super curious now
teaismylife
like I am usually finished the milk far before it goes bad.
sillysalamander
I can have a milk bag open for a week. I don't know about longer, since I normally drink one bag in less than 48 hours.
sillysalamander
It took a week to drink because I spent most of that week at a friend's house.
saucerjellyfish
Canadian here, eh. I want to say a week. Though we usually run out of a bag (1 L) in a couple days.
WhimsicalCalamari
That sounds pretty reasonable actually, though recycling bags, especially ones that held food/liquid, is difficult.
MrJohnsonAndTheJuiceCrew
only one week? milk cartons usually stay good up til two....just sayin
sleepygorilla
Like between 5 and 8 days usually!!
wompwompwomp
And how long does it take to drink milk?!
FatCatTax
I just bought a gallon jug today; it expires on October 10th. That's 2 weeks from now.
MrJohnsonAndTheJuiceCrew
plastic carton user: less than two weeks and its unacceptable
supremacysun
Canada is a frozen wasteland, tho. I'd like to see this work in a Mississippi summer.
wawaweewee
A 4 degree fridge is a 4 degree fridge.
CrazyCatYoungLady
Colombian here. We use bags. They work for days.
BeigeNotBrown
Its in a fridge genius
Carochat
You know refrigerators are at about the same temperature wherever they are?
5Fingers
I know people like to joke about the south, but you guys do have refrigeration. You're not that poor.
