I think in America, they sell milk in soft plastic bags to be cut open, so you have to put them in these jugs for stability and handling.

    Probably meant the continent, not USA.

    There’s no continent called “America”

    Some count North and South America as one continent, hence, America

    Also Argentina, most of America does this I believe.

    I've literally never seen that happen in America and I've lived in 5 states, both rural and urban, and have visited over 30.

    I saw it in Louisiana. For a few months, my high-school cafeteria was giving us milk in a bag. Like individual-size bags that you poked a straw into. I was very confused the first time I saw it

    That's wild. I'd love to try milk in a bag.

    They do that in Canada. The US sells milk in plastic jugs or cardboard cartons.

    We do actually have the bag and jug too! I love getting my milk at Kwik Trip because that's how they sell it. And it just tastes better. If it weren't so damn expensive, I'd force my household to convert to it.

    What state sells bagged milk? Don't think I've ever run across it in the US.

    I used to work in a kitchen of a well-known chain pub in the UK and our mill came in in bags. Saved on alot of waste as we only needed one plastic jug and the bags used significantly less plastic than bottles of milk.

    In my experience, it depends on the country and it's only in some stores - I vaguelly remember getting milk like that at some point, which I think it was in The Netherlands.

    Mind you, it's more climate friendly than plastic bottles and likely glass (even with recycling).
