The great Canadian milk bag LIE [3:48] (youtu.be)

TLDW: Canadian bagged milk is an Ontario thing but the rest of Canada doesn't do that. (Also the video's maker doesn't like Ontario (also also the more you look at the word 'Ontario' the more the word looks like it was made up)).

I wish more liquids came in cartons instead of plastic. It's so strange to me that milk is the only thing sold this way...

Never seen plastic milk jugs anywhere but in the US and UK, I'm sure it exists elsewhere but doesn't seem like the norm. Don't think it's a thing at all here in Sweden, it's all cardboard, some with plastic caps and others without.

At this point in the US I really only see the plastic jugs for half-gallon and gallon sizes (~1.9 and 3.75 liters respectively), but the gallon size jugs are also used for water, especially distilled water like people would use in a clothes iron or CPAP machine. They also have half-gallon cartons, though, and any smaller sizes for milk have traditionally only been cartons, except sometimes if you buy milk at a convenience store like a gas station it will be in a plastic bottle like most of the other single-serving beverages.

I’m sure I’ve seen the gallon jug style in Quebec but don’t know what volume they contain, although from what I’ve seen with a lot of things when Canada went metric they just changed the labels but kept the same sizes.
