    Probably meant the continent, not USA.

      There’s no continent called “America”

        Some count North and South America as one continent, hence, America

      Bagged milk is not exclusive to, nor ubiquitous in, the continents either.

    Also Argentina, most of America does this I believe.

      I’ve only ever seen this in South America, yeah.

      I’ve literally never seen that happen in America and I’ve lived in 5 states, both rural and urban.

        They meant Canada is American

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

  • OnToTheFuture@thelemmy.club ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    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.

      What state sells bagged milk? Don’t think I’ve ever run across it in the US.

      source

      • Ilovemyirishtemper@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        You can get it in Wisconsin, but it’s not super common. We mostly use the plastic jugs or glass bottles.

      • OnToTheFuture@thelemmy.club ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        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.

        Bagged milk is used in food service a LOT.

    Bag is actually used a ton in food service in the US too.

  • Zoomboingding@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    They do in Wisconsin

  • bitwolf@lemmy.one ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    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.

  Ummm. What?

• Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

  I used to work in a kitxhen 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 bottlesnof 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).

      Quebec and Ontario have it, having been to both of those provinces
