Before this topic came up in the pairs thread, I did not know that bagged milk was a thing. Is it udder-ly delicious?

Grew up in SE Louisiana. We didn't have bagged milk like one would buy at the grocery, but I sure did grow up drinking chocolate milk out of individual bags with straws for all 12 years of public school lunch.

no I meant odd that some people in my country have it and some don't....

haha, if I have money, but big if right there....
Is there a particular weak spot for the straw or do you just pick a spot and jab away? Does the milk leak /spurt out like juice from a drink box if you hold the box too tight at first?

When you stab the straw in, you put your thumb over the free end to keep anything from coming out. Mostly we stabbed as close as possible to the direct center, so that when you set the bag down, the free end of the straw didn't rest at a height lower than the bag end; that's a quick way to get leakage.
We also tended to leave the bag in our tray and lean down to drink from it, but as long as you kept the end of the straw higher than the bag and didn't go crazy squeezing it, there were rarely any leakage issues holding it.

This thread is making me want to try strawberry milk, which according to a quick google search seems to be only available in Canada in 1L cartons
It is indeed available in most grocery stores near me. I have never seen it in 4L bag size. One imagines that no one needs that much strawberry milk. You can buy chocolate milk in the 4L size. I lived with someone who couldn't drink white milk but needed to have milk in their diet because they hated everything else high in calcium more (green leafy veg for example) so they only drank chocolate milk and sometimes strawberry milk (we bought the big pink bunny syrup for that)
Never put it in tea.. it's super gross.

Speaking of bagged chocolate milk, when I was in university, my housemate left a bag of chocolate milk in the fridge for far too long so all I saw was a breakdown of mold, chocolate powder, and water :shocked:. I have never looked at bagged chocolate milk the same again. Sorry folks, but you still need to drink bagged milk responsibly.

Indeed. But then if it was left in the carton it would also be disgusting. The worse thing ever as far as that kind of thing was when I was housesitting for someone and I always provide a list of possible things I can do when I house sit. Cleaning out the fridge and defrosting the freezer is one of them. So years ago I was cleaning out the fridge for this yuppie couple who had gone on a cruise in Greece and I came across a container of cream cheese that was (and I'm not joking) a black and green completely liquid ooze and a jar of salsa that had huge floating green chunks. I nearly wretched.

My parents, who were both from England, thought bagged milk was an abomination and constantly talked about how much better it was to have a milkman who delivered milk to the door in bottles. It wasn't until I was much older that I had milk in bags.

We have them in Brazil. I prefer buying overpriced powdered milk, though, because I enjoy eating it
This is like people who eat brownie mix or cookie dough I guess. You like what you like. No shame in it unless you force other people to eat it who don't want to.
