Only Ontario, Quebec & the Maritimes sells milk in bags.
They tried that here in the west years ago. 1967-ish to the about mid-80's.

in BC we had bagged milk until early 90s from what I remember

You're probably right.
We had home delivery. 'Dairyland'. From way back when, when they still drove Divco's.
The drivers hated that bagged stuff, so IIRC, the Co. was one of the first to give people a choice.

I see the words "milk bags" and it certainly doesn't bring up the image of kids in a school lunch room getting hosed with milk. My mind apparently resides a bit deeper in the gutter. Maybe hydraulic fluid should be packaged in bags instead of trannys?

How bout’ them Canadians with their bags of milk?

In Central America, every village has a bodega. In Honduras, we were building a 20'x20' house in a village about two hour's drive off the highway. Waaay back in the jungle. There wasn't any electricity, so we were cutting the wood with chainsaws. It was 90*F and probably 90% humidity, and we were winding down for the day, so we trotted over to the bodega for a soda.

The lady handed us our sodas in plastic bags. Not factory sealed plastic bags; plain plastic bags with the top twisted closed. You kept the top pinched so your soda didn't leak out, and tore a bottom corner off the bag with your teeth, and then drank it from the bag. It was the flattest soda you've ever had. The next day we carried our own bottled sodas.

When we'd got to the spot where we were building the house, it was covered in brush. We commented to the locals that we couldn't build with the brush there. They nodded and said they had a couple guys on the way. Two guys with machetes cleared the brush faster than we could have brush-hogged it.

Hell I wish I knew Canada had milk bags, I paid a lot of money for milk bags here in the states.

the Lord did An excellent job, just like GM did on transmissions and shell rotela did on oil. But I’m a hot rod guy, and I like custom accessories
