    Bagged milk isn’t common in Edmonton, 4L jugs just like this are ubiquitous in Alberta. That’s more of a BC+Ontario+Quebec thing. I can’t remember if the Maritimes do it now.

    That being said, I’m not sure if you could store vodka in a bag, with booze being so controlled. I suppose boxed wine is a bag inside.

        Oh, maybe not then. I only know it was available out there at some point.

          I have a vague memory of seeing bagged Island Farms milk in one grocery store on Vancouver Island but it would’ve been over 20 years ago. I only ever knew one family that bought it, and they were complete weirdos across the board.

      Bagged milk isn’t common in Edmonton,

      In the last 30+ years it’s only really common in Ontario.

      Back in the late 70s it was tested across the country, but only for a few years.

      But, apparently, what happens in Toronto means that it must be normal in the entire country, according to the rest of the world…

        Ah yes, Toronto, Canada’s largest and only city. /s

        Good to know. I’m guessing the information I had about BC was from the late 80’s, but it’s possible it was just that guy’s specific family. I’ll have to ask older people I know if it was ever a thing here.
