How is your milk stored I was REALLY surprised.

Alright so I just saw this video http://www.wimp.com/canadiansmilk/ (It's a video of some Canadian woman showing how their milk is stored)
I was chocked.. I mean, out of bags? Really? While watching through the whole video all I could think of was "wtf, wtf, wtf, wtf, wtf.... WTF?".
It looks so ... strange.

In Sweden we use [url=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ksm8ArYHkho/SbPqssLME7I/AAAAAAAABCo/256JG8LIl5k/s400/mjolk1.jpg]these[/url] packages.

What do you use?
Show me pictures.

[i]edit: Title should be "How is your milk stored[b]?[/b] I was REALLY surprised". Somehow the question mark didn't show up.[/i]

[quote=nephteray303]This may be interesting to you. In our school cafeteria (Near San Diego, California) in elementary school they used to give us mini milk bags. You drink it by shoving a straw into it like this:

I remember these days in elementary school lol. If you ever poked the straw too hard, you would be drinking milk from the table.

Im still in wtf-mode, this looks really odd. Never seen anything like this before! The straw thing was completely new for me!

I drop the bag into the holder thing. Then I cut the corner. Then I hold the other corner and the handle of the mild bag holder, then I pour milk in the cup.
I mean, how hard is that?

When I see milk in cartons I always thought of it as recreational or artificial or something, and milk in bags are pure milk used for whatever purposes.

50% of my life spent on west coast, milk is in cartons and jugs
50% of life on east coast with the bags

same stuff but I'd rather have a 2l jug of milk than cut my own bag, have to use the special milk container.

I remember drinking milk out of a bag once in elementary school. Other than that, I don't think I've seen any around here other than ones in cartons and jugs. o-o (I live in Vancouver, BC )

In Brampton, Ontario when I was in elementary school, we used to have individual milk bags ordered for students at lunch time.
Instead of the mini milk cartons, we would get miniature milk [b]bags[/b] that would come with a sharpened straw. Looked sort of like [url=http://media.photobucket.com/image/mini%20milk%20bags%20with%20straws/SmileALotEveryDay/290716632_1ef3c85dae.jpg]this.[/url]
You would have to squeeze on one side of the bag, while you jabbed the straw in the other. If you didn't put any/too much pressure on the bag, the milk would spray into your face.

Fun stuff.

You have to cut the bag and drain the milk into containers and stuff. Canadians are so silly.

Regularly, the price is noticeably higher, but the building owner has some deal with the milk company on a delivery package. We get it at a price that's only about 25 cents more than buying plastic/paperboard at the grocery store, and that includes the delivery cost too. xD

It's not weird to me, but it's hard to manage considering I've been using plastic bottles/cardboard cartons all my life. Last time I used one was when a friend came over for a sleepover and she had the bag in a jug. I spilled a considerable amount and let her do the pouring for the rest of the weekend.
