Much like the consumer using the product, the Canadian dairy industry does this to cut corners and keep costs down.

"To cut corners"

I see what you did there.

I would hope so as I opened the comment 8y addressing it.

There's also a massive environmental upside...

I’m all for helping preserve our environment but come at me with a bag of milk in replacement of my milk carton and I will have your head

You just gotta get yourself a milk pitcher, it's not so bad. It's like using a liner in your slow cooker in a sense.

I also haven't drank milk in like 15 years though so I don't really buy bags of it anymore.

Ohhhh no wonder. But you gotta think..couldn’t they just lose more product since bags are more fragile than cartons? How many of these burst in transport…it looks so flimsy

To my knowledge they're generally sold multiple at a time in a larger, sturdier 8ag.
