(If you knew, carry on, 😊, I see this a lot when bagged milk comes up and I’m never sure which is joking and which are actually unaware, but it’s so normal to me I find that just weird)
I’m totally down to be in Canadian occupied territory, as long as they bring their healthcare and bagged milk stays. I’ll even start to say “eh?”. I already apologize too much and like hockey, so… how bad could it be, eh?
According to a 2010 report by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, most milk containers sold in North America are jugs (68 per cent), followed by cartons (24 per cent) and bags (seven per cent).
Yes, I’d consider the midwestern region where it’s available to be “a lot of the US”, even if it isn’t the most common way to get it nor the most populous region. I never said it most people use it, just for the record, so the 14 year old production statistics don’t actually matter here (I’m not faulting you for it being really old, I couldn’t find much for that metric either, but it’s irrelevant either way). It is, however, readily available and commonplace.
It’s mostly distributed, at least what I know of, by kwik trip/kwik star which (heavily) cover Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, and North Dakota. It’s certainly regional (and frankly im curious if Alaska tends Canadian in that regard), but that’s 6 states with a decent landmass and population, so yes, I’d consider that a lot, since it’s almost certainly not the only option in the US, just the one I personally know of.
Midwesterner for about 30 years now, never seen bagged milk in the stores I’ve been to.
Boxed AND bagged wine, sure, but never bagged milk.
But every time I go into a new local store, I still check because you never know. And I want to be able to say “it’s in the bag/box” when my wife asks where the milk is just for the look on her face when she hears “bag of milk”
Yeah I wish it was common in actual grocery stores. I haven’t seen that yet either, sadly.
But kwik trip/kwik star has it, and those are all over in the states they have stores. And since they have their own distribution network and brands, I’d be kinda surprised if they didn’t have it in a particular location.
This is me leaving enough milk for “1 coffee” at the bottom of the bag without changing it
…the bag?
Ah, right. Carry on.
There’s bagged milk in a lot of the US as well.
I’ve been using it for decades (Midwest).

I’ve long harbored the concern of canadian insurgency in the Midwest. I know the signs

Jesus Christ this goes deeper than imagined
A lot of the US?
Keep on spreading the word, do think it’s rare!

Fair nuance!
Took a look for Alaskan milk bags…
Found a Filipino company selling that, for some reason!
Globalization is so weird… 😅

That sounds very uniquely (eastern) Canadian.
