WTF Canada... Milk in bags??

Payback says...

>> ^ipfreely:
Why do you need to use the bag? Why not just pour the milk into the jug? Does the plastic bag some how keeps it fresh?


It's just a holder. If you poured it into the pitcher, you'd have to wash it out every other bag or even each bag. This way you just need to clean it if you get a leak.

This bag thing looks horribly inefficient. I drink milk from a plastic jug. I don't have to find scissors to drink my milk. When I'm done, I screw the cap back on and don't have to fold it around. I can pour the milk in to a glass without worry about holding on to the other corner. And it's just as recyclable. So, interesting view of how others drink milk. I just hope it never comes here. I'll keep my jug.

I grew up in upstate New York and my mom bought milk in these bags for awhile back in the early 1970s. I guess because it was cheaper, I don't know. The bags sprung the occasional leak while in transit but besides that they worked pretty well. Then we went back to milk jugs and cartons and I've never looked back.

This makes no sense, like plastic milk jugs aren't recyclable? In terms of being "Eco-Friendly" they seem to be about the same. It just seems like a harder way to do things. Too many nuances... Don't cut too small, don't cut too big? And you have to do that 3 times every 4 Liters? What the fuck is a Liter? In the states we just pop the cap off and on, waaaaaaay easier.

She forgot to put the small cut on the opposite end to allow air to flow into the bag. Not critical, but if you use these (like me) then it can be nice.

You don't pour the milk into the jug because then you have to clean the jug much more frequently.

I never realized that this was a Canadian thing, but now that I think about it, milk bags are never shown on American television programming.

This chick apparently doesn't have a "Snip-It" which is a little bag cutter with a magnet on it. Only noobs cut their milk bags with scissors.

I used to drink way too much milk. Like more than a bag a day, on average. This stopped when I was about 27... I started drinking pop all the time instead. Calorie wise there's not much of a difference.

In Ontario, we have milk in cartons too, up to 2 litres. If you only need a little milk, that's what you buy. The bags are for families.

I think the bags could be friendlier to the environment than a jug by using less plastic. Four thin plastic bags require less plastic than does a sturdy gallon jug. In any case, the friendliest type of milk packaging is cardboard or glass, not plastic.

Ukrainian kid plays Vivaldi on an Accordion... amazing.

rosser99 says...

I hate to be Mr. Curmudgeon McFarkelson, because the kid is good at what he does, but why do we get blown away when we hear music like this played out of context? What I mean is this: if this video were of a high school orchestra playing the piece (and this piece is very playable by a good high school group, as is the Tchaik 4 in his other video), we wouldn't be moved to cries of "incredible" and "No Way!" After all, we expect as much. However, when we hear an accordion (or theramin, or crystal glasses on a bridge, or a jug band) play music with ANY requisite level of technique and musicianship, we are blown away. We short change our souls by being blown away by Vivaldi on an accordion but not giving the music a second glance when we see it in the expected venue.

And if I haven't already ostracized myself, the very simple fact is that the time needed to achieve artistic proficiency on violin (or viola, cello, etc...) is far greater than is needed for the accordion. If this kid had spent as much time on violin as he has spent on accordion, he would be very run-of-the-mill indeed.

What's Stupid About Bottled Water?

MarineGunrock says...

I'm only *Promoting this to attack the absurdity of the claim that bottled water is good for emergencies. NO. IT IS NOT. No matter WHAT the situation, bottled water is NOTHING but a drain on resources and an ecological disaster. Energy to draw the water, energy to "purify" the water. Energy to bottle the water. Energy to Ship the water.

GET A FUCKING ON-TAP WATER FILTER AND A FUCKING REUSABLE BOTTLE YOU PRICK.

Emergencies? How about a fucking water bull? It holds 400 gallons and has 5 dispensing points. Not enough? Use some of these. Then give families a couple 5 gallon water jugs to cart the shit around with.

No wasted plastic. No trash. No litter.

Bottled water should be fucking illegal.
