Hey Lemmy, I recently moved from Ontario, land of bagged milk to BC where they don’t.

So for the second time since moving, my fresh unopened 4L jug of milk made a small puddle in my fridge before opening it. Does anyone have any tricks to prevent that from happening?

Do I just have to enjoy a fresh glass right after returning from the grocery store?

    Yep. Parts of Canada buy their milk in plastic bags, which they cut the corner off of and place in a pitcher. Google it.

      I feel obliged to mention in case any poor bastard misreads your post:

      which they cut the corner off of and place in a pitcher.

      Not in that order.

        You’re very kind, but you seem to lack a sense of humor.

        What’s the point of having a radically different milk system if CFAs get it on the first try?

          The idea that I, as a Big City Ontarian, in this very specific case, am somehow not a come-from-away is hilarious.

          Sorry, eh?

      WHAT THE FUCK

      This is a prank, right? Like the whole Bielefeld thing? You can’t really be trying to tell me Canadians go to a store and WALK OUT WITH MILK IN A PLASTIC BAG??

        You go to the bulk store, grab a plastic bag, and have the clerk pour you a bag full of milk. What’s not to understand?

            I’m just messing.

            They come in 4L packages, split into three tall 1.33L pouches. You slide the pouch into a pitcher, snip the corner off, and use the pitcher to pour.

            If you google milk bags, you’ll see what it is.

              It’s just such a crazy thought to sell a liquid in a bag! Though I could see this actually producing less waste than a carton, since the latter has to be lined on the inside, which isn’t easily recyclable.
