    • OK this sounds crazy but as an English person travelling to Canada, I had trouble working out how to use the milk! In many Canadian households the milk comes in plastic bags, no lie! The bag just slots into a special jug-thing and then you just cut off the corner of the bag. I feel embarrassed writing this but if you are staying with friends or family in Canada, save the embarrassment and be prepared! I spent a good 10 minutes trying to remove the bag, tip it out etc etc, not only did I make a big mess but I made a complete fool of myself in front of family who I had just met!!!

     Hey Tara, don't feel embarassed... I'm born and raised Canadian and I've never had milk out of a bag in my life. Most people drink milk out of cartons, bagged milk is just cheaper.    		wheretonext Sun Oct 28, 2001 22:00 UTC

     I think bagged milk is popular in Ontario ;)
