* Better taste
* Cheaper to produce
* Less shit to put in landfills
* Recycled easily

We have plastic cartons so it doesn't taste like cardboard, you can but milk fairly cheap depending on what brand you go for (We have a local brand that has dairy farms near us, so it tastes pretty good/fresh) and we have a bin specially for items like plastic, cardboard, tins and anything else that can be recycled... So that it isn't really an issue. But I guess if it works for you guys... Just seems a bit odd and like more hassle...

I get plastic jugs

This image seems extremely fitting..

It's liquid in a bag, it's completely unnecessary and overcomplicated.

Here is why it's in a bag and not a jug or carton:

* Better taste
* Cheaper to produce
* Less shit to put in landfills
* Recycled easily

How is it overcomplicated to put MILK into a PITCHER and then CUT the top? It would be overcomplicated to a neanderthal, it's basic shit. In the end, I'd rather have better quality milk and less pollution than using a jug to save 10 seconds of my day.

You have no objective basis that it tastes better, no source that it's cheaper, and what 1999 shit are you reading where you still think recycling is better for the environment?

I lived in America for 2 years of my life, I know what it's like. And recycling obviously does harm the environment, but it saves resources and creates less waste, and that was my point.

Between creating recycling bins, sorting, the process of recycling, and transportation using separate trucks than the garbage trucks, recycling is worse for the environment than just making new shit, EXCEPT for aluminum cans, it outweighs for that. Plus, you can't CLOSE a bag of milk, if you drop it you're fucked. You screw the lid on a carton nice and tight, no wasted milk.

Now you're throwing in the the chance of spilling the milk? It's not common and doesn't happen to everyone. The same could happen with a jug of milk if the cap wasn't on. You can't add a random variable like that.. Your argument is invalid.

It's not a random variable, it's an occupational hazard of the middle class dairy product. My point is that bagged milk is not as good as jugged or cartoned, and you can't say any reason I have is invalid just because it proves my point.

For fucks sake, we are arguing about milk containment. Fuck this.

Someone seems mad.

Every province has bagged, carton'd, or jugged milk. I live in Toronto, Ontario and I have the choice of buying all three at the supermarket..

And Nova Scotia.

And Quebec...

that explains sooooo much, they are already the stupid cousin no one likes to talk about

so? doesn't mean people like to talk about the province in general. they can talk about the city without talking about the province

New Brunswick too.

what do you want with me

^

so... you create mountains of waste with your large and uncompressable "jugs"? hmmm indeed

uncompressable? They're plastic not steel.

You know they're recyclable, right?

Like a plastic bag per milk is better? and you use more plastic counting all these accesories

You've....never seen bagged milk before, and you live in Canada? What part of Canada do you live in?

The west part, Alberta...

Ah, well, can't say anything bout that, I've never been to Alberta. I know Quebec and Ontario have bagged milk. They just started selling jug milk here, a couple of months back. Seems less efficient, it goes bad quicker I find.

Interesting, thanks for clearing that up :)

daw you guys are so Canadian and polite. I like that. I'm from Belfast and we are currently trying to bomb eachother because they took one single flag down. Just one. We have billions more, trust me.



Please take me to Canada Land :(

if you're at a convience store, yeah it's 5 bucks

But you get 50% more milk than a jug

And a jug is about $2.50 for the generic kind. So it's mostly just more efficient to buy a jug.
