“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.

Yea, it’s shipped in a rectangular bag. It goes into a milk holder that holds the bag snug, and you snip the corner off so it pours like a spout. The jug that holds it provides the handle and stability for the bag. When the bag is empty, toss it, put the next bag in.

That sounds like a pretty good system once you have the jug, assuming those bags don’t look like jellyfish to sea turtles.

Is the bag held really well by the milk holder? I’d always worry about the bag tipping out of the milk holder, while pouring.

Yea, I’ve been using it all my life and never once had a bag fall out.

Well enough. The bag of milk forces enough air that it’s basically suction held until the milk’s almost gone.
