GregH Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Umm... ok... So your milk comes in bags? http://www.wimp.com/canadiansmilk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Milk does come from bags but that is not what I was expecting to see. umm, Canadians do know that milk comes in recyclable plastic jugs with a handle and a nice cap right? They are convenient, don't require an extra container, are crateable and have been around cince the 1960's. Milk bags... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Amacker Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Judging by how full the girl's shirt was, I think she was probably jealous of the bags.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 In all honesty, that must be an Ontario thing (Ontario bing a hotbed of liberal gobbledygook)... It's been years since I saw milk in a bag. Like you, we currently see (in most Alberta stores... certainly in Slave Lake stores) resealable plastic screw top jugs and more commonly wax cartons. I think we still can get tetra packs (the cardboard box looking thingies) but my loving bride and I don't actively seek those out... FWIW (and I am surprised that anyone would spend the time to make a video like that) the bags were first introduced (caution - memory thing happening) back when we had home milk delivery. This would have been the common sight then. At least we drink real beer and not some stuff that should be called "love in a canoe". (Fuckin' near water for the uninitiated).

DwayneGorniak Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Yeah the bag thing must be an Ontario thing. Out here we lots of big jugs. Environment friendly My ass! Go back to fucking Glass and charge a damned deposit for the glass so that it all comes back to be recycled and reused. As far as I am concerned, everything should go back to glass. That's why I only buy beer in bottles. Yeah sure, there would be the initial cost of the start up but it would eventually be better for whole world. Whats the worst thing that could happen if a glass bottle is thrown out in the garbage. It is natural and made of sand for crying out loud. What the hell is our world coming to? Where did they ever fuck this whole process up? Oh yeah, cheap drunken Liberals. Holy crap, I think I'm stating to sound like a curmudgeon.

Alex Bruene Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 But without milk in bags... You don't get the handiest tool in the shop... It can be used to store parts, carry odd items around, use it as a seat, use it to stand on when you need a little extra height, use it as a center console in your Econoline... The Milk Crate.

Jim Warman Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 And the old wet blanket replies "what about that inscription on the side attesting to the ownership of said device?". At the same time reminding everyone about the time their foot plunged through the "top" (which used to be the bottom) and became entrapped... I've had to go scrounging for shit that I own, and I usually vow to eviscerate anyone harbouring the object of my desire. We have milk crates in our shop.... I have no idea where they came from but, if they are the only thing available, I have used them... and this, by no means, makes it "right". Some of the simplest things... we like to think we are above reproach. What may be important to one, may be of little interest to another.. but if it involves a product, someone paid to have it made... Oh, yes, I have feet made of clay, just like you... but I do try to make amends.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Warman Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 When I was a kid, there was a confectionery in a small town near the army base we lived on... The Chinaman that ran the place (Hey... that's what we called him back then... no racial malice... no insults... he was Chinese... what would we call him? French?) kept the empty pop bottles out back (this is back when the store that sold you a glass bottle full of pop would give you the 2 cents deposit back when you returned the bottle). We'd sneak behind the store and steal an empty bottle... take it round front and get 2 cents worth of candy for it... We were sure that we were pulling the wool over this mans eyes, even though he would only ever let us return one bottle at a time. Today, it's milk crates stacked behind the store... no deposit, no return.... but somebody, somewhere paid to have them made... prolly for more than 2 cents, too... Food for thought.

Alex Bruene Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Ahhh... For once, Jim didn't make me feel bad! As it turns out, there was a Becker's Milk (remember them?)dairy just down the road from us. When Becker's went kaput, they shut the plant down and left hundreds upon hundreds of milk crates there in the rubble. So, that's where we got all of our milk crates... That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! But, as for all the shopping carts used in the parts department, now that's another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Bruene Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 yeah, where did all those shopping carts come from?.......... It appears that a few of the local grocery stores have some type of shopping cart "vending machines". Basically, you put in a quarter, and get a cart. Good deal if you ask me!
