Milk in bags

One of the strangest things we have found is that milk comes in bags. No, I'm not kidding. Here's a picture.



Actually, it's a picture of a pitcher! Because there's no way you could pour milk from a bag, or store it once it was open there are special jugs to put the milk bags in. Of course sometimes the bag gets stuck half way and milk goes everywhere anyway...

Having milk in bags makes it cheaper (because the manufacturer doesn't have to pay for so much packing) and creates less land-fill (although In Australia all cartons and plastic bottles are recyclable so I'm not sure whether that's better).

p.s you can buy cartons, but bags is funnier! : )
