      I think in America, they sell milk in soft plastic bags to be cut open, so you have to put them in these jugs for stability and handling.

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

            Common in small, neighborhood markets in Brazil, but most milk is sold in the paper/aluminum tetra paks due to longer shelf life

              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 had them in my elementary school back in the 90s. Haven’t seen one since then. They were pretty cool though. I’m sure some people would buy it if they brought it back for nostalgia.

                    I’d be there for damn sure.

                    Gotta be easier to ship, too, which means it’s certainly cheaper.

          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.

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

        I used to work in a kitchen 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 bottles of 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).
