Milk is sold in bags in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes, but it could be approaching its expiry date. Part of the reason is changing consumer habits.
“Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years,” says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. “Actually, it’s gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015.”
While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it’s actually not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it’s more cost efficient and some even believe it tastes better.

I’m in my 40s and I can only remember one bag breakingon me, but that’s because my dumb ass dropped it.
I’m also in my 40s and I can remember a lot of busted milk jugs over the years… Maybe we should be using the bags instead lol
My mom busted a 4L jug on the stairs. The cap popped off. It’s never the same after.
They were the jean stairs weren’t they?
That’s why you should always use your hands to carry things!
