But the lack of bagged milk here makes me sad.
I am a sad man today.

I wonder how much you’d have to shake a juice pouch filled with a carbonated beverage to make it explode?

The fuck?! Why would you bag milk? Just buy it in a non plastic cartoon like the rest of the world and then recycle it.

Because then you have bagged milk.

On the other hand, making it easier to hold a drink makes it more difficult to determine when a person should call it a night and go home.

They take up less space in the recycling bin, you can wash them & reuse them.

True story: my coworker was pumping during the day for her baby. Walks to my doorway holding two bags of milk. Asks if I’m ready for lunch. Awkward silence follows. Now I have kids too and boobs don’t scare me so we had a good laugh and went and got some tacos.

You need to provide some kind of vent because otherwise the pressure inside the bag will keep it from bubbling.

Just as a heads up, I dismissed your other comment since it’s got a picture of a carton of milk plowing a bag in it. That’s probably against the guidelines.

I just can’t fathom why you would bag it, then place the bag in a pitcher when you can get milk in its own pitcher. I just can’t understand it. I mean if it was like soda mix and you put it in a weird fountain drink dispenser fine whatever, but just the way you have it makes no sense. How did bagged milk even start?
That was probably a smart thing to do

There does not exist a Gasolina drink-in-a-pouch that doesn’t punch through the bottom of the barrel in an attempt to become antipodean.

Can you recycle milk bags? Milk jugs have a deposit.
I’d much rather have a package you can close properly when you’re done with it for the day. Cartons and bags don’t do that.

I would have had to make it more awkward for her and ask how fresh it was, wether it’s been frozen or not? Then explain how frozen breast milk ruins the hidden flavor. Then say something to the effect of how what the mother eats changes the flavor and how you can actually get get a buzz after the mother drinks alcohol.
Then she’d likely never talk to me again, or like you said, we’d go get tacos.

They tried doing bag milk by me in the 90s, but it didn’t take off at all. I remember my mom bringing it home with the weird pitcher you need. I get that it uses a lot less plastic per container, but a jug is just so much more convenient.

I mean, you can get a clip if you’d like. But you normally just clip the corner with a pair of scissors and that’s that.
