Bagged milk?

We had bagged milk when I was in middle school, but that's the only place I've ever seen it here. Our milk mostly comes in either cartons or half-gallon or gallon jugs. I can't imagine how you use milk in a bag. Is it resealable, or do you have to put it in another container after opening it?

I heard bagged milk is from Canada, i mean lots of people buying bagged milk there its like 4 Litres of milk or something, i don't know though if that is true or not?... When I talked to Americans they confused when i said in here (Indonesia) we usually use powdered milk. They said in America powdered milk is only used for baby milk formula.

I fall into the same category as many respondents to this discussion do because I have never heard of such a thing as bagged milk. It seems quite reasonable that milk should be contained in a bag, but it also seems rather odd to supply it in a container which would be unmanageable. Obviously it would require transferring into some other receptacle for storage at home, so it would be more practical to use a carton or plastic bottle in the first place. Of course if I had been accustomed to bagged milk then I would probably feel differently about the idea.

Ok what is bagged milk? Is it powder milk where you add water to it? I too have never heard of bagged milk in my life. Is it cheaper then regular milk or more expensive?

We have it here in Mexico. keeps the cost alittle lower that an carton cost. I usually put it in a plastic drink container here.

We do have bag milk in the USA .. quicktrip sells it and they even offer a pitcher to put it in for conceived pouring. But mostly are milk comesin plastic jugs. But I don't mind buying the bag milk from time to time because it will go on sale for half price n when milk is $3 a gallon saving on it helps a lot.

They buy it in those large awkward jugs.

We have bagged milk at t he store that I work. It is used only for the machine on the coffee counter. I grew up on fresh cow's milk and also remember milk being delivered in glass bottles. I have never ever seen bagged milk on the shelves in the stores. We have gallon jugs. The bags are only for commercial use.

I think I'd be a little confused by it myself. We have evaporated and sweetened condensed milk for baking. We have gallons of milk. I know we have powdered milk, I guess that is what "bagged" milk is? I'm confused.

In my country, bagged milk was really common - now most people buy and most shops sell milk in cartons, but you could still buy bagged milk. It's weird for me if I hear about people who don't know it exists (I mean, that's OK if they don't have it, but not knowing what bagged milk is a bit weird), because it's so common here, at least in the pop culture.

I haven't heard nor seen a bagged milk here either. What happens when you poked a hole into it by accident while checking out? I know I would do something like that because I am clumsy that way. But I guess this is more environment friendly than the ones in plastic bottles or gallons, right?

Am a bit confused?? Is it the milk which has been sold in the stores in bags??

Well I have never seen this before and well i think it is a great idea as it does reduce the amount of trash that goes into the landfills around the world maybe this will catch on every where

here in italy we don't have bagged milk too. we usually buy milk in 1 or half liter packs. aren't you concerned that you won't be able to consume all of those four liters before they expire? do you drink milk often? i only add a little amount to my morning cup of coffee so the half liter pack is fine for me. my hubby doesn't like it at all.

I cannot recall passing that one here in the Philippines. But there were these little bagged ones of chocolate goats milk or goats milk sold in the stores, they were only 150mls not 3-4 liters. Isn't it difficult to handle though? You need to transfer those else there'd be a lot of spills around the house. hehehee.. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

I never heard of bagged milk either. I usually buy quarts of milk because I do not always drink a lot of milk. Does the milk stay fresh if it is in a bag as opposed to being in a carton? Milk is sold by the half gallon and gallon (this is the largest amount that is sold). I have seen pints of milk as well.

Thanks for this discussion Ricki, by the term 'bagged milk'; are you referring to milk sold in pouches? Here in my place we get milk from diary farms, they send men to your home with a 20 liter can, he measures the required quantity right before you, one can go to the firm and buy very fresh stuff right after milking the cows, i buy milk in pouches supplied by a government owned diary, they her half liter pouches; i buy 6 for rupees 15 each, another man comes from a private dairy, give 4 liters @ 35 rupees per liter.

I don't know what bagged milk is. How does it stand up in the refrigerator I'd not in a plastic jug or cardboard container or glass bottle? I've never seen it in Georgia.

The only term I have ever heard of bagged milk is once I get to the check out line and the checker asks if I want it in a bag. I usually say yes as the milk is much easier to carry. That dont mean it dont exist in other areas of the United States. In my area milk is either in a carton, plastic jugs (gallon, and 1/2 gallon, or 20 oz.) cartons, or in glass bottles. Other forms are powdered milk which is in a box and also evaporated milk which I tend to see in cans.

I am from Cansda and bagged milk is completely common and normal on the east coast, however on the west coast it's unheard of hahaha. I grew up on the west coast, so I am accustomed to cartons of milk in 1L or 2L, and jugs of milk in 2L and 4L. I never understood the puns americans would make about canadians and bagged milk (among other ludacrous stereotypes lol) until I went to the east coast for a while. It was strange at first but I got used to it pretty quickly. It's not that bad opening a bag and putting it in a pitcher of some sort, just something to get used to. I still prefer cartons and jugs though.
