To sum up this thread.

Canadians: Forsaken and forgotten by generations of milk packaging engineers still think their 1970's milk bags are the hottests shit ever. To proof how cool and modern they are they sell them in fancy tampon and diaper colors.

Rest of the World: Is using proper milk packaging for generations already. Laughs at canadian quirk and trolls them for many days on NeoGAF.

No, to sum it up, you people still don't get it that bagged milk isn't the only option we have. As if that picture with the "diaper" colors wasn't enough of a proof. And if you really believe pink and light blue are the only colors available, you're even more dumb. The milk i buy always have either a dark blue or green color on the bags or cartons. I don't even know why he posted that picture, it wasn't going to help at all with those colors.
 
Wow, this topic is more controversial than a thread about tipping the delivery guy after ordering pizza to feed the guests that got stuck at your house after your abortion doctor and your local gun store owner got into a fight about which way the toilet paper should hang, even though the kid didn't bring the drinks because he didn't like the way you referred to carbonated beverages.
 
I remember when me mum bought some of this bagged milk during the trial period. The stuff leaked at the check-out.

I'm sure many who had to wait in the queue were convinced bagged milk was a great idea after seeing that and having to wait for the mess to be cleaned up.
 
I drank milk out of a bag as a child, stuck a straw through the bag and sipped. I don't see a problem.

No, to sum up this thread:

Bagged milk pretty much has every advantage over cartoned milk; its cheaper, its environmentally friendly, it saves space for both the consumer and retailer allowing them to stock more. It's simple and easy to use; those who argue against it are pretty much lazy and I really hope they die in a freak yachting accident.

What's actually really sad is that people are arguing just so they can seem superior and cool. I mean seriously, are you guys trying to impress internet readers by arguing over milk containers? It's pretty pathetic and it's about as entertaining as seeing a midget getting crushed by a vending machine.

you forgot to work circumcision in there.

@chinner: how are bags more environmentally friendly? Jugs are made out of plastic, which is recyclable, right?
 
pretty simple really: the amount of jugs produced will be significantly lower when compared to that of the milk carton. i mean one family could share a jug between them and as long as they looked after it decently it would last years. then compare this to a family who uses standard milk cartons and (depending on their milk usage) they'll go through hundreds in a year.

I'm talking about the ones used in the U.S. how are canada's bags more environmentally friendly? assuming they both get recycled, they both are used again later, sooo....

Less material is needed to make the container in the first place.

I just finished off a half gallon plastic jug. I am immensely pleased with myself.

Chinner, you can take your yetis, baby seal meat, and bagged milk back to your igloo, and when you're there, snug and warm in your polar bear blankets and chewing on whale fat, go ahead and smile smugly to yourself.

Then remember that you're CANADIAN, and the rest of the world doesn't give a shit about you.

You seriously just made me laugh out loud in a public library with that visual. The girl next to me looked at me like I was crazy, well done sir.
 
I simply don't understand what's the big deal with bagged milk. Here we call them "milk sachets" and are usually cheaper than cartons. I don't usually buy sachets but it's not that weird... I live in a Latin American country, though (Argentina).
I have to admit it's a bit tricky trying to pour milk :D

He's just an ignorant bigot, using this thread to try to validate his particular way of life so he can feel superior and shore up his fragile ego.



Bagged milk is more environmentally friendly for two reasons:

1. Less material per gallon, so lower resource usage overall.
2. Recycling isn't totally environment-sparing. The plastic still needs to be processed, which yes is bad for the environment. Not as bad as throwing it out and making new plastic, but it's bad. The less material you have to recycle, the better it is for the environment.

I'm getting kind of tired of this argument. I only use bags, and have used both cartons and bags. I can honestly say that there's no big difference. I use what I like, you use what you like, and that's all she wrote. Unless you feel like telling me how your way of life is superior again, despite no real logical argument and a lot of American flag use that make you seem like you have brain damage. This 'go america rah rah no matter what' attitude is embarrassing for the wiser people in your country, and one of the reasons why the US is so disliked on the international stage.

heh, just as expected, all the fat americans are rushing into this thread with their mobility scooters.

at the moment i am currently writing a letter to neogaf about how fat and stupid americans are in the hopes that evillore bans all of them (and virgins like snakex)

edit: also, i am not canadian, but i'd rather be canadian than american.
 
This thread have so many goddamn idiots. I'm almost tempted to use my ignore list for the first time.
 
it's also interesting to see how people are trying to use 'melt downs' to end debates because their small-but-still-fat brains are unable to make any counter arguments.

fake edit: still making my email, will post here once i sent it to evillore; heres hoping that all the dumb americans in this thread are banned
 
Chinner, I'm playing the sounds of a thousand furious Geese honking when I read your posts and it's getting me really pumped up. Thanks for that, I was starting to flag this afternoon.

just sent my letter/petition to evillore

here it is:
People generally have strong views about the fat Americans. One of the first facts we should face is that if the fat Americans had two brain cells to rub together, it'd realize that there is one crucial fact that we must not overlook if we are to perceive our current situation as it is, rather than in the anamorphosis of some "ideology" such as Bonapartism or racialism. Specifically, the public is like a giant that the fat Americans has blindfolded, drugged, and gagged. This giant has plugs in his ears and the fat Americans leads him around by the nose. Clearly, such a giant needs to acknowledge that the most significant aspect of the fat Americans's mentality and its lack of refinement is the closeness of the fat Americans's way of thinking in general to the way that the worst kinds of termagant, jackbooted scatterbrains there are think in particular. That's why I feel obligated to notify the giant (i.e., the public) that I sometimes ask myself whether the struggle to express my views is worth all of the potential consequences. And I consistently answer by saying that the fat Americans's cold, analytical approach to terrorism doesn't take into account the human element. In particular, those who have been hurt by terrorism know that I believe in "live and let live". The fat Americans, in contrast, demands not only tolerance and acceptance of its plaints but endorsement of them. It's because of such yellow-bellied demands that I, for one, suspect that to the fullest extent that my own age and health will permit, I will fight scurrility and slander. That's pretty transparent. What's not so transparent is the answer to the following question: To what degree is it going to sacrifice our essential liberties on the altar of political horse-trading? A clue might be that there's a time to keep silent and a time to speak. There's a time to love and a time to hate. There's a time for war and a time for peace. And, I insist, there's a time to fight the fat Americans hammer and tong. Or, to put it less poetically, the fat Americans has allowed itself to become a spokesman for the same point of view shared by unambitious swaggerers, simple-minded carpers, and presumptuous, deranged quacks while masquerading as an outspoken radical bucking the system.

An inner voice tells me that the fat Americans says that profits come before people. This is noxious falsehood. The truth is that its goals are a logical absurdity, a series of deductions from a premise that has been denied. Speaking of absurdities, if society were a beer bottle—something, I believe, that the fat Americans holds in high regard—it would indeed be the nauseating bit at the bottom that only the homeless like to drink. The fat Americans's rejoinders are based on a denial of reality, on the substitution of a deliberately falsified picture of the world in place of reality. And this dishonesty, this refusal to admit the truth, will have some very serious consequences for all of us sometime soon. While I agree with others' assessment that any day now, the fat Americans's apothegms will degenerate into hotbeds of rumor and innuendo, still, the fat Americans is planning to establish a world government complete with a world army, a world parliament, a world court, and numerous other agencies that invent a new moral system that legitimizes its desire to put a clog on all attempts to limit its power. This does not bode well for the future because if it doesn't realize that it's generally considered bad style to practice human sacrifice on a grand scale in some sort of audacious, malodorous death cult, then it should read one of the many self-help books on the subject. I recommend it buy one with big print and lots of pictures. Maybe then the fat Americans will grasp the concept that there is clearly an unforgiving dimension to its paroxysms. Or, if "unforgiving" is too narrow of a term, perhaps you'd prefer "saturnine". In any case, it may seem difficult at first to reveal the constant tension between centripetal and centrifugal forces of dialogized heteroglossia resulting from the fat Americans's sentiments. It is. But I don't want to build castles in the air. I don't want to plan things that I can't yet implement. But I do want to announce that we may need to picket, demonstrate, march, or strike to stop the fat Americans before it can dissolve the bonds that join individuals to their natural communities because doing so clearly demonstrates how I once overheard it say something quite astonishing. Are you strapped in? It said that the bogeyman is going to get us if we don't agree to its demands. Can you believe that? At least its statement made me realize that it can't attack my ideas, so it attacks me. It could be worse, I suppose. The fat Americans could fight with spiritual weapons that are as vile as they are infernal.

If you're interested in the finagling, double-dealing, chicanery, cheating, cajolery, cunning, rascality, and abject villainy by which the fat Americans may pursue an unsophisticated, foolhardy agenda under the guise of false concern for the environment, poverty, civil rights, or whatever by the next full moon, then you'll want to consider the following very carefully. You'll especially want to consider that the fat Americans's personal attacks are rife with contradictions and difficulties; they're completely abusive, meet no objective criteria, and are unsuited for a supposedly educated population. And as if that weren't enough, the fat Americans plans to sue people at random. What can you do about that? Start by reading about how the fat Americans's campaigns are exemplary of the forces minorities must fight in their struggle to achieve equal footing with the rest of the community. Become informed about the deceit, lies, and propaganda surrounding its promotion of sesquipedalianism. Tell everyone you know that I once tried to explain to the fat Americans that its causeries will impede the free flow of information. Rather than feel ashamed of itself, the fat Americans got angry at me. What this says is that the fat Americans's complacent dream is starting to come true. Liberties are being killed by attrition. Trotskyism is being installed by accretion. The only way that we can reverse these bumptious trends is to grant people the freedom to pursue any endeavor they deem fitting to their skills, talent, and interest. To be precise, we must do away with the misconception that its activities epitomize wholesome family entertainment. Every store in the country should have that chiseled in large letters over the entryway. Maybe then people would grasp that the fat Americans has certainly never given evidence of thinking extensively. Or at all, for that matter. Finally, whatever your thoughts or feelings about the fat Americans are, I urge you to help me substitute movement for stagnation, purposive behavior for drifting, and visions of a great future for collective pettiness and discouragement.

Please, ban the fat Americans.
 
For all you say about how great those bags and jugs are, they damn well won't fit in my fridge. Especially in a shared apartment.

That's all that matters really, forget about the rest of you.
 
I recently switched to bags. I use a ton of milk in my house and 4L (~8.5 pints) in bags costs half as much as 4L in cartons here.

Same for me. I've got a half-height fridge and it only takes tetra-pak size containers in the door holder.

Seriously. This thread has genuinely sort of made me dislike Canadians. This all started off civil then it became this why the world hate and think Americans are stupid, then it became the American hate us and are making fun of us, now its lets call Americans fat.

Same crap happened in the Olympic thread. You didn't even know or care many in the thread were Canadians then they started winning and it was take that, take that, take that America as if we have be oppressing you guys.

Its not funny anymore and in certain parts this whole argument would probably have ended in shots being fired at someone. It started off fun, now get over your self. Your fucking milk in a bag, how trendy and popular it is has still not impressed us.

well this thread is about bagged milk invading UK, and the Brits took it like a man. it's the Americans who went crazy.
 
The only milk bags I want are the ones in the boob thread . . .

You can keep this shit away from me.

Its more like the Brits got muted out after some Americans said "why the hell would anyone want this?" and the Canadians took off on their lil holier than thou train.

We've not taken this like a man. The invasion shall fail.

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

Our bottles and cartons shall live on.
 
Just like usual, the Americans are declaring victory without showing any actual results or reasoning: like Vietnam, Iraq or their healthcare, they say that they've won but when questioned they just scream around like the fat, overweight babby they are.
