To correct my American friend Daniel. On the right it appears to be in a ziplock bag.

Here is what the pre-packaged bagged milk really looks like, from a Canadians prospective

Also shown is the neat invention of the milk pitcher for easy pouring

It looks like something from a nursing home or a medical convention

:rofl: I can see that Daniel. :lol:


We even have wine in "bag in a box" they call it. Even as a Canadian I find that scary! :lol: When at work we broke the box, the wine in the bags looks more Medical Convention-ey than the milk, trust me :teehee: The wine has a spout attached to the bag. :yikes3:

Not all the wine comes in the foil type bags, some are clear :yikes3: I happen to think this was an American thing

Yes, we have those, too. The "Ch?teau cardboard" was invented in South Australia, so we are both safe from embarrassment:

I was buying chocolate milk in the 3 bag when I first went on Effexor. The dry mouth was awful and the cold chocolate milk was so soothing.

If it weren't for the bagged milk. I would have had sore arms carrying the jugs and cartons

BTW, for any Canadians who don't know what the plastic milk jugs in America look like, one is pictured on the left:

We do have those in Canada, too, actually.

I still feel smug

That is just because you have yet to appreciate snow

:snowballs:

That does remind me:

Did Daniel say "smug" or "snug"?

Just returned to this thread.
That bag looks as if it would be awfully hard to pour it and then, after being openend, to store it without it getting everywhere.
From milk-bagless Australia

You mean, I'm not? :blush:!

 

[David Baxter PhD]

No it isn't at all. You get a made to fit plastic resuable milk jug, put in the bag, snip the corner diagonally for a pour spot, et voila! C'est fait!

Oh. Ok.
I forgot that French is the second? national language in Canada. That I *do* envy. Love that language. Don't speak it but for a few basic words, but love the sound of it

 

[David Baxter PhD]

I like the sound of French. I can't say I'm a big fan of the Quebecois variant though...

 

[amastie]

Didn't know that there was a Quebec variant.
But then I don't know much about a lot of things :lol:
I can live with that.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Different pronunciation, tempo, and a lot of slang... to my ears, it doesn't flow as well or sound as melodic as the French in France.

 

[amastie]

Oh. Thanks for explaining it for me.

I'm sneaking in - found a video with the quebecois accent Amastie (so you could hear it):

How on earth do you find them!?
Thanks heaps .. again, and again.
Between you and Daniel, I have my day filled with resource - even without the mountain of resource provided by Psychlinks overall

On a totally unrelated note, I wonder if it is some kind of Freudian slip that I keep leaving the ")" off the "smile" smiley and keep haing to "edit" my posts as soon as I've posted them to correct that

...

Ok, having been listening to that YouTube video, yes, I can see what you mean David. Not as nice at all!

Thanks
