Only in Canada?

 

Before someone mentions “Bagged milk? That’s not true!”, let’s be clear that most Canadians drink milk from jugs – but that’s not the case when you step in Ontario and Quebec. These regions get their milk packed in liter-sized plastic bags. In 1967, DuPont brought the idea of using a milk bag in Canada using equipment developed in Europe.

The local dairy made the change because using plastic bags was more convenient than using breakable glass bottles. People in the said regions still use bags because they preserve the milk well and individual bags are lighter to carry than three to four liter milk jugs. The use of milk bags puzzles most people outside of Ontario and Quebec and the issue about Jugs vs. Bags has been a debatable topic among Canadians. Which one do you prefer?
