Funny thing about the bagged milk, we had the bagged milk here in Portland Oregon from Albetsons back in the 1960s with the burnt orange colored pitcher. Mom bought it for awhile because it was a novelty. Did not last long.

[@rebeccajohnston5411]

In California you get packaging info in English, French, and Spanish. It does help you pick up another language.

[@esthermiller2713]

Rebecca Johnston , I don’t know how much you know about Canadian ways, but I’ll tell you something in case you weren’t aware of this. 😁 Our country (Canada) is bilingual. We have just ONE province (Quebec) that only speaks French (although I figure most of them have learned English....but are hesitant to admit it...lol ). Consequently, French has been taught in our schools for decades now. (I myself have never had the confidence to learn French,....so in high school I purposely chose the commercial course....to avoid having to learn French. The only other course offered....general......included French). The Canadian law requires that EVERY ITEM sold in Canada MUST have the French translation for every ENGLISH word on the labeling! Inevitably, every time I go to read a label, I find I’m staring at the FRENCH wording!! lol

[@514lili]

you got that right! It's called law 101 in Quebec. The law protects our French language (which is compleeetly different sounding than french from France!). If you came to Quebec and heard us talk french, it would be hard to understand depending in what region you are. Although law 101 isn't loved by everyone, it's something that the province stands by, from food packaging to road signs and to employers and employees who must adress the customers in french before any other language. Also, we love our bagged milk 💪

[@extofer]

Still it’s different in California. I’m Californian and usually our packaging is English on the front but has instructions in 2-3 languages on the back (usually Spanish and sometimes French and Spanish - French is rarer though)

[@esthermiller2713]

Christopher , bottom line? Instead of we who only speak English feeling a bit irritated when we find ourselves staring at the printed languages that we don’t understand, we should actually be happy & grateful that it’s proof of caring consideration for those who are able to understand clearly what the information on the labels say in their own language. We must learn to look beyond ourselves to see & appreciate that the needs of others are being met this way.

[@KabobHope]

@@Amandahugginkizz It's still less waste. I guarantee a bag used for milk will degrade faster than a plastic carton. Americans would have to buy more milk in glass or paper cartons to make a difference.

[@KabobHope]

@@nateman10 Where I live there is zero community recycling, very little metal recycling (not to mention zero public transit) -- households and businesses simply throw everything away -- so all things equal the best choice for me would be the material that degrades the fastest since I am intent on not recycling. I have started noticing more milk in cartons and may go back to that assuming the price is comparable to gallon jugs of milk. Bags of milk seem like there is less waste by volume.

[@rich7447]

The issue with bagged milk is that you can't reseal it so it picks up other flavors from the fridge.

I think that if you are a bit curious, you can learn some of another langage by reading packaging. Living in Montréal, I learned a lot of English vocabulary that way. Then, when I was twenty and mostly bilingual, I went to California and lived in an shared appartment with American students for a while. Each of us had to participate to cooking and buying food. That's when I realised that I never learned how "navet" was called in English because there are no canned turnip... 😉

[@monkiram]

I went to France 2 months ago, and I only studied French until grade 10 so I'm barely conversational at best and my husband was even worse. However, both of us had no issues communicating food because we're familiar with it all from food labels 😂It really helps!

[@Lexus_800]

[@peabody1976]

I remember the first time I saw bagged milk at my aunt's house in Scarborough, and was like "cool!" Long ago, I visited my cousin in Etobicoke and seeing 4-litre jugs of milk in plastic, so you did have both for a while. Not every part of Canada seems to have bag milk. And, you can now get ketchup chips in the US but as a localized thing (Herr's or Utz in the east has made them). What I've fallen in love with are all-dressed as well as poutine chips! Definitely Coffee Crisp is very Canadian. One thing I miss in the States for my childhood that you still have in Canada is canned, prepared Five-Alive! We only get it in frozen concentrate the few times I've ever found it here. Also, many brands that have two names started out as different companies that either bought each other, or were bought by a third party. Christie/Nabisco is an example.

You guys crack me up - you’re clearly having fun and keeping things light hearted. Good stuff! We used to have cereals with the word sugar in the name before it was made into a 4-letter word back in the late 70s and most mfrs had to jettison it from their brands and packaging. Super Sugar Crisp became Golden Crisp, and Sugar Smacks became Honey Smacks as two examples. Canada meanwhile still isn’t afraid of that word and still sells those items emblazoned with a huge SUGAR on the front. 😎👍🏻 Props for that. But I still say y’all are savages for having milk in bags, haha!
