Canada

Are these changing consumer habits mostly being driven by how insanely expensive and low quality milk products are becoming? Canadian cheese and butter are trash and cost an arm and a leg - especially when you get into goat and sheep cheeses that a lot of lactose intolerant west coasters prefer.

Tastes better 🤣🤣🤣🤣 those micro plastics sure kick up the flavor a few notches!!

I grew up with bagged milk but don't have it where I live now. With my two kids and I enjoying breakfast cereal regularly, our recycling bin fills up fast. I miss milk bags. So low waste. I remember we'd slit the end and use them for sandwich bags in our lunch bags. Or use them to wrap blocks of cheese.

I swear I remember my mum freezing sealed bags of milk for the cooler to keep meat cold on the way to the cabin.

bagged milk is a pretty wild concept to me, but obviously there are a lot of facets of american life that are fucking bonkers to everyone else (and lots of us) so I cant really speak to it

I just had a shower thought, probably dumb and I am tired, but how about pipes to deliver regular liquids/fluids? 🤔

I think I read somewhere in Germany brewery would have pipes to bars delivering a continuous supply of beer.

Now let's do that with ultrafiltered and/or ultra-high-temperature milk (less prone to spoiling).

How about adding pipes for beer (or some other alcohol or wine), cooking oil (whichever most suitable), and any other frequently used liquid I forgot?

If spoilage is well controlled, would that be a less energy intensive distribution method?
