With all the news about microplastics maybe we should go back to glass bottles.

Glass's issue is transportation cost, so you'll want to make milk supply more local...wait a minute, this is starting to sound like commie shit
We have glass bottle milk in vancouver area. $1-$2 deposit on the bottle, good incentive to return it when you get your new bottle.
I don't know if I can sarcastically say 'sounds like commie shit' any harder before it would sound like I'm actually against it
That does sound fantastic. How's the shelf(/fridge) life of the milk?
There was a local dairy in my hometown and they had a little shack set up on the road where you could buy bottles of milk. It was the best milk I've ever drunk in my life.
Fuck it let's make our own milk at this point
I've got nipples, focker
I would absolutely love the glass bottles.
I worry about breakage and substandard cleaning in the coming era of downsized food safety checkers in the Bitcoin Milhouse cabinet, but a few plebes dying from salmonella will fix that spending ... almost.
Cardboard cartons are compostable.
I dont think any liquids are sold in cardboard. It woukd leak. Usually its lined with plastic, so no longer compostable.
But glass cab be reused.
Cardboard cartons are lined with plastic.
With all the price gouging happening and shrinkflation, changing consumer habits could spell the end of food.
Is it "changing consumer preferences", or is it the industry seeing an opportunity for shrinkflation.
Clearly it's the shrinkflation
So Canadians are giving up on milk and just drinking maple syrup now? Sweet!
I once made the mistake of telling my american coworkers that I buy over a gallon of fresh maple syrup from a local sugar shack each year and I was excited for spring because I was running low⦠I think I warped their perception of the canadian diet.
How will our kids get their daily dose of microplastics????!!!!
Don't worry, they don't have to try, it's likely in well water at this point. Guaranteed most of your store bought food probably has it too.
You guys drink milk out of bags? We use glass, plastic, or cardboard jugs down in the States.
Some places do things a bit differently. More news at 11
I've always wondered about the bagged milk... Don't they get broken a lot? I'm genuinely curious
I'm in my 40s and I can only remember one bag breakingon me, but that's because my dumb ass dropped it.
That's why you should always use your hands to carry things!
The plastic feels a bit like a heavy duty ziplock bag, or piping bag material, made as a tube (so strong shape, structurally) then flat sealed on both ends. Quite thick so not that easy to puncture by accident. Once in a while thereβs one that leaks but they get removed at the grocery store by stockers, mostly. Itβs easy to spot, it just looks flat and at worst (if the hole is on the bottom), thereβs a liter and some of milk all over in their fridge.
Theyβre super tough. Never seen one break.
