Just because it's so different, I've been asking for a picture of milk here for over a year. The bottom bins are all liters of milk. The top middle is cream. On the right edge, you can see some large jars of yogurt. There's also butter and margarine in the picture. Anyway... milk here is sold in liter bags. You buy a plastic pitcher and put the bag in it. Once you've got the bag firmly seated in the pitcher, you cut the corner of the bag and pour. If not done properly, it can result in major milk spillage. Oh, and approximately one in ten bags of milk is bad due to transit and storage issues. Just a little post about how different the small things can be.

Hi Meg, in Honduras they sell milk in bags too, except they are shaped differently, like little pyramids. You snip off the top corner and pour.
Hi Meg,
There is even a small dairy that does it here in Perth. Again the bags are a little different... they include a puffy handle on the bag. It certainly is strange to see milk presented without a carton or bottle but it must save the environment all that nasty packaging.
Cheers

They do this in Ontario too. But not in the rest of Canada for some reason...
I don't know about it being environmentally friendly - this is not a very green country. Especially since they puncture so easily and leak like sieves! I prefer the French milk-in-a-box without refrigeration needed. No idea what Moldova's going to be like.
