Well I always fell the bag to make sure no bag inside the outside bag broke. You want to talk about mess if you don’t catch it . You have milk all over your fridge. Never ever broke a bag when it is put in the pitcher though.
In the US, bagged milk is most often a product sold for use in school food service. You can get the standard 5 imperial gallon bags that fit in dispensers that are used with cups, or you can get single-serve pouches that use a puncture-straw (which young kids often struggle with, as they usually are not designed to stand up on their own like fruit drinks that come in pouches.)
Don’t know anything about it popular because of size….the 2 litre carton above the bags in that picture is over half the price of the bags so better deal to buy the bags….lol I would prefer the cartons . When I was little we used to get them in jugs where you had to take back for a deposit. You can still get jugs at a certain convenience store.I couldn't quite figure it out until I saw this. They have some weird reason why bags were preferred, which was that it was easier to convert to a new size with bags rather than setting up a new glass bottle line.
Milk bags first entered the Canadian market in the late 1960s.However, Canada's conversion to the metric system in the 1970s meant dairy producers needed to replace and resize existing milk containers, which were measured in imperial quarts.Retrofitting assembly lines or replacing heavy glass bottles was an expensive prospect for the milk industry, and milk bags — which they were already experimenting with — could be easily and cheaply adjusted.Changing a one-quart bag to a 1.3-litre bag was relatively painless, so three-quart bags of milk quickly became four-litre bags across parts of Canada.
Alberta doesn't have bagged milk anywhere that I shop; it comes in 250ml (individual size wax paper carton), 500 ml (wax paper carton or plastic jug), 2L (wax paper carton or plastic jug) and 4L (plastic jug). The price of the smaller portions are much higher per serving than the largest one. I'd like to buy 2L in plastic but the price here is near $4.00 while the 4L is just over $5.00. for comparison, the 250ml is a little over $1.00 and the 500ml is usually $2.00 which would make buying 4L that way $16.00 and $8.00 respectively. Also, the plastic jugs here are charged a deposit and are returnable.
My paternal Grandfather came from Loyalists (Germans actually, who fought for the Crown and relocated to what was then known as Lower Canada in the 1780's when England retreated). He referred to Canada as "The Dominion" until the day he died. It wasn't that impressive 50 years ago and I'm guessing it would be even less-so today. And with almost 25% of Canada's current population being first-generation immigrants (almost all from places other than Great Britain or France), they would have no stake in the game whatsoever.Canadians, for those who can trace their lineage far enough, is being descendant of a Filles du Roi or United Empire Loyalist considered a big deal or is it now just considered a meh thing?
Hessian? If so, Ancestry.com has great resources to go farther back on his bloodline through the 18th century military records. Thanks for the response. SAR/DAR is still a big deal in the USA, so I was curious if descendants from the other side of the war had the same amount awe about their ancestor’s participation.

Finally really looked at this photo. Looks like they have had a few bags break in that refrigerator, and they didn't clean it up!I couldn't quite figure it out until I saw this. They have some weird reason why bags were preferred, which was that it was easier to convert to a new size with bags rather than setting up a new glass bottle line.
If your ancestors came from a country that participated in the American Revolution, they may have been involved in some capacity (UK, Germany, Spain, France and the Netherlands were all involved). They might have helped the Americans in some way. If so, then your ancestor might qualify for SAR/DAR. Ancestry.com has some of the documents to find out.

Well I don't really want them to cancel the Olympics but I think they still have a few weeks left before that deadline for the decision is. I'm sure it would be a logistical nightmare to cancel or postpone especially having this happen back to back although they do have the summer Olympics to go off of as far as processes for implementing the Olympics during a pandemic. I'm not sure if I've heard of many other athletes who have come down with covid (as that's the reason NHL pulled out) but I do think the next few weeks will be telling for the athletes of the world. I think they already a few months back announced international spectators wouldn't be allowed.
