Save The Planet: Buy Big Bags Of Milk

By February 7, 2008

Other countries cut down on the amount of plastic used to package milk by buying it in big plastic bags and storing it in a reusable milk pitcher in the fridge.

This is a nice idea. Pouring milk from a special pitcher would make us feel like some sort of ultimate Martha Stewart-esque homemaking badass.

    I’m reading comments about how difficult and weird it would be to switch to bags, like this witty quip: “There’ll be an increase in paper towel sales!” Hahahahahaha! If you’re a moron. Step 1: Open milk bag by undoing twisty thing that bread also comes with. Step 2: place 2L or 0.000001 gallon milk bag in handy pitcher. Cut corner of bag with scissors, or even use a special knife thingy that’s made to cut milk bags. It’s simple and fun! Step 3: Pour a glass of milk, and try to find your mouth with it. I’m sure you Americans have more than enough brain power to match us Canadians and our mad crazy milk prep skills.

    @aitch: Milk tastes WAY better in Argentina, although I recall that certain brands tasted watered down (unless they were actually low-fat milk, which I didn’t know existed back when I was younger). I still remember the brand that got me hooked on milk: La Serenísima [Wikipedia article in Spanish].

    Here’s another Wikipedia article on Argentine beef: Quality of Argentine Beef. There’s open-pasture and grass-fed versus feedlot and grain-fed beef. I wonder if the taste of milk also has something to do with that… Interestingly tidbit: feedlot cattle are given beer to help them calm down :)

    Milk bags are definitely superior to any other form of container in one respect: They’re way better for stabbing with a knife and spraying all over people, as Tom Green used to do on his old cable access show.
