Lessons in Milk |
Wow. You really do learn something new everyday. Who would have thought the way we consume milk was so different.
Here is my tribute to our household method of milk consumption. I dedicate this tribute to my crazy gal pals Christi, Jami and Julia who have either never seen milk packaged in such a fashion, or think we use devices that look like breasts for milk consumption up North here in the crazy city of Ajax, Ontario.
Please note that for health reasons (like, better taste) we are currently drinking milk of the chocolate variety.
first, buy your milk...
next, pull out one of the three plastic bags contained inside...
stuff the milk bag into the "milk container", snip off the end, pour and serve (Milk mustache optional.)
As an aside, I took AC's advice about how to handle my treat monster and hid a bag of Doritos in a cereal box. This doesn't look too suspicisous does it?

That's great, Karla!
Hillarious! Oh and thanks for the milk post dedication. btw. I'm not the Jamie from Maine which you linked to. I am the Jami from Texas.
So interesting how different things are because of an imaginary border line. Huh...never knew that about the milk! My dad's side came to the states after living in CAN for years, of course they probably got their milk out of the buckets they used to milk the cows earlier in the day.
My goodness I have never seen milk like that in my life. Pretty cool. Amazing how different things can be.
I dont think he would notice the chips at all...lol
Thanks for the chuckle Karla.
Have a great weekend.
To funny Karla, I am sure Mark will never notice. haha
Love Mom
ROLLING ON THE FLOOR, LAUGHING MY ASS OFF.
I still can't believe that America doesn't have MILK come in bags. That is too funny.
Funny how we are so different. I can't help but laugh at this.
Milk, in plastic bags? Ewww, think of the chemicals (phthalates etc) leaching out into the milk. We have glass bottles here in the UK! And it's delivered to the doorstep too!
P.S. I've been hanging out here because I lost a baby too, 6 years ago, in case you're wondering who I am! You will never forget or stop loving Ava, but you will heal more than you ever thought possible.
I've seen that before, but for the life of me, I cannot remember where or when.
Note on hiding the snacks: once hidden, don't post - ruins the mystery!
The milk reaction is pretty darn funny. I started to comment but thought I might blog it. Might too! Might even steal your pics.
The hiding place is also funny. No wonder he keeps finding the stuff. Your heart isn't in it. lol
You might want to invest in a larger cereal box!
Hey, so why don't you just pour the milk into the pitcher, since you're using it? That seems like it would be easier than trying to make sure the milk doesn't spill out of the bag. That is certainly strange. I wonder if the milk stays fresher longer if it's in bags as opposed to cartons or jugs?
I'm with everyone on the wonderment of milk in bags. I agree with Christi that wouldn't it be easier just to pour the milk into the container itself?
Does all of Canada drink milk in this way, or just your particular province?
Amazing the things that can fascinate us, eh? ;)
It's definitely an Eastern thing. I noticed when we visited my inlaws last year out in Toronto the milk bags and we were very shocked they were still around ! We live in Vancouver British Columbia and haven't had milk in bag out this way for at least 25 years or so.All our milk out this way comes in cartons or plastic jugs!
I've always loved this song, but wondered about "milk in a bag". Thanks for the pics.

We can no longer get milk in bags here in Winnipeg either. When I was 4 or 5 we visited friends at a dairy farm. When I discovered that milk came from cows, I stopped drinking it! I only started again when we got back home and I could drink the milk that came from stores.
You learn something new everyday -- never saw milk bags before (well, other than the two attached to my chest)
I think you'll have to eat more of the doritos, just to insure a proper hiding.
As a Yank, your milk packaging stikes me as odd. I can see why it didn't fly down here.
i randomly found you and just wanted to say hi from the 'shwa!
