Brit here living in the USA for the past 10 years. When I went over the border to Canada this year and went into a supermarket it was like a dreamworld, all of my brands were back.. haha.
I'm Canadian born to British parents. I loved Barbados because they were extremely British and had all my favourite brands that Canadians have to pay a fortune for at the British imports stores!
armedwithjello largest decent group in Canada 🇨🇦 is British 🇬🇧, largest decent group in the USA 🇺🇸 is German 🇩🇪.
lol i am from Canada and it is like dreamworld when you go in tho!!
Do you have bagged milk tho
@@trayvonjackson4830 nah, it’s actually scotch-irish but americans love to claim they’re of german descent or overestimate it
The most Canadian thing was actually when he picked up the chips he knocked over.
It's called decency.
He didn't say sorry though.
He forgot to put his chips back, but then buy the one he dropped.
The folks from our southern border knock stuff off the shelf all the time and leave clothes strewn all over the floors. Not nice at all.
I agree... picking it up was very Canadian of him.....and we wouldn't want those Jackson, Tennessee made Pringles chips to get stepped on.
You know you’re Canadian when all these things are normal!
So you're telling me that someone is Canadian when they can purchase Canadian things commonly sold and marketed to Canadians in Canada? Holy shit my mind is blown you cracked the code. That's not tautological at all! Next you'll tell me some wild nonsense like Americans having access to American flags and guns and monster trucks and...baseballs...?...in the United States makes them recognizably American.
Billy Calder chill dude 😂
Never heard of ,nor have I seen bagged milk in my life. Must only be in the east. Nothing like it is in the west.
@@michaelkruk3415 It is an Eastern thing, primarily Ontario and Quebec as I believe the Maritimes are normal and use jugs/cartons instead of bags.
Totally! Milik in bags FTW!
Man the milk issue was so funny , his reaction to how it wouldnt be strong was funny . Ive droped bagged milk more then once and never had one break but i can guess how many jugs of milk have been lost to a fall .
Too many, I lost so much potential cereal enjoyment time from such disasters.
The plastic in those bags is quite strong, i used to clean the empty bags cover my school books with them to protect them.
idk ive dropped milk jugs never had any issues other than it was alll shook up and bubbly on top
Haha a few times while unloading groceries I’ve painted the street white with milk when the 4L jug hits the pavement. At least when a bag pops you only lose a 3rd of your milk.
@@HepCatJack yeah I’ve used them as sandwich bags too. Very durable!
Back in the 70's parts of Eastern Canada banned milk in plastic jug containers because people were using the jugs to store other liquids then returning the jugs for the deposit. So contaminated jugs and plastic were getting into the recycle process. bagged milk is in a single use container so it can not be used around the house to store chemicals or motor oil.
Juan Rosales Pesadilla thanks for explaining, that totally makes sense!
in British Columbia we used to have milk in bags now we have jugs.
its also cheaper to store and is easier and less risky to ship.
It should not be anyone’s business what one does with empty milk cartons or jugs!
@@leighsutherland6222 unless, after you use them to store possible poisons, you then return the jugs for the deposit. Then the contaminated plastic gets back into the food chain to contaminate your milk.
This must be in Ontario or somewhere out East... no bagged milk out West in Canada.
Been in J & K's No Frills, can confirm it's in Ontario.
The Area is so familiar....
@@PoorDummIdiots Or Manitoba and eastward are the real Canada ;)
@@PoorDummIdiots Manitoba receives several billion dollars in equalisation money. The maritimes also receives some. And Quebec receives the most. (I believe Saskatchewan does or did as well). Ontario, BC, Alberta, and Newfoundland dont.
@@PoorDummIdiots don't be stupid like Quebec.
3 smaller bags ensures constant fresh milk, its the best way to do it
So the milk bags need to be refrigerated even if not opened?
@@Mr.56Goldtop Yes. My family takes all three bags out, puts one in the pitcher, and the remaining two in the bottom trays of our fridge.
seattwa - The milk is not sterilized. Only sterilized milk can be left unrefrigerated. Pasteurization just eliminates natural bacteria, not cook it.
THE REASON IT'S IN BAGS IS THAT PLASTIC BAGS WERE CHEAPER TO PRODUCE AND WHEN CANADA SWITCHED TO METRIC THE BAGS WORKED OUT BETTER. SOME BELIEVED THAT JUGS CAN NEVER BE TOTALLY CLEANED OUT WHEN REUSED SO THEY STOPPED USING THEM BACK IN THE 70'S.
The empty milk bags make great freezer bags.
I work at a Starbucks and can't imaging packing jugs of milk and fitting it in a fridge. bags of milk is so much easier!
Less plastic too
@@zzapzzin and you can watch out and reuse the bags for things
I've NEVER seen bagged milk. Of course most dairy products are local, especially milk. So growing up in Alberta I never even heard of bagged milk.
Bruh I work at Starbucks too but in America and can't imagine packing bags of milk into the fridge. With the jugs, you can perfectly fit 9 on a shelf (3 rows of 3 milks). Don't the bags flop around?
actually really easy
OMG! I love how he was terrified of the bag milk! 😂😂😂😂
It is an interesting reaction until you really think about it. In the USA we have boxed wine which is really about 3 litres to 5 litres of bag wine in a box. Also the very large milk dispensers in some cafeterias use large bags of milk.
Tammy Chanpion ,...umm......do you think “terrified” might be a description that’s a tinch too melodramatic? lol
@@davidhoffman1278 we have boxed wine here in Canada too as well as the big bagged milk/cream used in dispensers in restaurants. Tim Hortons restaurants use those big bags of cream for dispensing into coffee cups.
I think most people are afraid of bagged milk!
Boxed wine is generally purchased by alcoholics and others who do not have a lot of money for extras.
I’m a Canadian that travels to the US quite a bit. I don’t think American products are less sugary. They use high-fructose corn syrup instead of sugar in their foods. I think Canadian foods just taste different (better) because of that. Even their coke doesn’t have real sugar in it.
We use real sugar in Canada
Marketing, not science
We have both. Cane sugar and high fructose (nasty)
Coke is awesome! Do not dis our soda!
In the States, look for the glass-bottled sodas, especially in gas stations and convenience stores. Those are often bottled in Mexico or Central America and DO have real sugar in them. Bottled sodas in grocery stores can be weird; I live in Atlanta where Coke is headquartered, and we see just about all of their weird test marketing mistakes.
Ontario and Quebec still have bagged milk. The west got rid of it in the 80's
Love bagged milk. Empty containers do not take up space.
B.c. still had it until 2003ish.
Saskatchewan had it until late 90's, if not early 2000's.
In pei its only glass jars of milk they do not sell plastic of cans or cartons...all soda products or sold in only glass bottles which is cool and hilarious when you buy from vending machines
We still have it out in NS (but it's less common than cartons)
"These 2 guys have just been wandering around the store for over 2 hours and all they have grabbed are, chocolate, Joe Louis, Pringles, and bagged milk".
"Yeah, I'll call the cops, high for sure"
ah you're forgetting buddy that's not illegal anymore up here eh?
Isn't that shit legal up there now?
Mikey Unovapix yep, definitely legal. Right outside the main gates to my university they’re about to open a weed dispensary beside a pizza place 😂
@@cedonuli Sounds like a good business plan! :D :D
lol weed is legal in Canada you can have it legally delivered to your door its called dial weed
You guys bought the worst ketchup chips
Yaya, I think the idea there was that is was interesting to see a brand he knew making something that wasn't available in the US.
@@JosephD Lays would have been a much better choice.
If you only knew the history of Pringles and there inability to market them as, chips, around the world. Most places in the world classify them as crackers or biscuits.
Lay's or Ruffles are the best
@@ianbrideau5081 Call them what you will, I love Pringles.
waching people discover bagged milk is so odd to watch
Why is it in bags tho? Do you put it in a pitcher at home??
@@mhisti sorta we take the bag and set it in a plastic pitcher cut a corner of the bag and poor as needed if you wanna see what im taking about google canadian milk ond images of the bag will be in milk jugs.
im Canadian and ive never seen that shit in my life. I live 3 blocks from a nofrills. you east coasters are nuts lol.
@@tylerpyle2135 This is Ontario. lol
I honestly thought he was taking the piss. I though bagged milk was the norm lol.
He's carrying that bag milk like a newborn baby....the milk will be ok trust me hahhaha
We Amaricans just can't understand Bagged milk😂😂 we get this anxious feeling because we're so used to carton milk that we feel as if it will just pop🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
in the west coast of Canada we have them in jugs its not all over Canada were the milk is bagged
I usually end up swinging the bag a bit when I carry it. ( not on Purpose, it's just kinda something I do without thinking) I bet that would totally make an AMERICAN panic... the bags are much Sturdier than you think
@@babygirlzmommy they might be sturdy but we arent used to strong paper bags or bagged milk wo you'rr not wrong saying rhat we would panic. REEEEEEE
his reaction was priceless ahahaha
It might also freak your friend out that it's 3 bags of milk but its 4L of milk
2 hours of shopping and you bought 4 items.
That's some dad-shopping right there.
4 items: Milk and junk food. Yep - That's dad-shopping all right!
yall there are wrong in a deep way
Um, no. Men want out of a store as fast as possible.
Not dad shopping if it took 2 hours
2 hours of shopping and ALL YOU COULD AFFORD TO BUY was 4 items. Everything in Canada and I mean EVERYTHING is so much more expensive in Canada! It's a big TURN-OFF for any American visiting Canada!
I'm from Serbia and in former Yugoslavia, the bagged milk was very common and much cheaper. It is still possible to find it in Serbia in some shops.
My young fella gets bagged milk - straight from them 44DD's lol
Couldn’t stop laughing 😂😂😂 when he was confused about the bagged milk. Oh and ewww about the Pringle’s ketchup chips; seriously..... gotta buy Lays or old Dutch ketchup chips dude
Yes on the old dutch ketchup chips. Fun fact old dutch is from Manitoba.
Im surprised they didnt get all dressed chips.
If your going to get ketchup chips they should not be pringles
Presidents choice with the extra seasoning!
Herrs and Utz put out a decent ketchup flavor. Pringles is good for some of the wacky flavors like loaded potato and pizza.
Ketchup chips? Never heard or thought of them. Sounds gross
@@73gmiller they are actually good dont knock it till you try it tho
I remember going to Vancouver in the 1980s to party since their drinking age is 19, and remember Hostess brand chips. Several years ago, they seemed to have just disappeared. Also, I never saw bagged milk anywhere in British Columbia. I do remember the Hostess brand seemed completely different than the American one that sold Twinkies. The logo was completely different. I do like the Old Dutch Ketchup chips when I'm there now.
This is an illustration of more than cultural or national differences, there's also an age difference components as well. A lot of the items the American doesn't recognize or thinks are different were once common in the US where many were introduced. Mazola oil, that was one of the most prominent brands in the US during the late 60's through the 70's when I was a kid. Ketchup Pringles were introduced in the US and were around for a bit but didn't catch on so the stopped selling them here but you can occasionally see them pop up for a limited time in some regions of the US. The Corn Pops sold in Canada are much more like the ones that were sold in the US originally but they were reformulated, along with just about all the most popular kid type breakfast cereals of my youth, to conform to demands for less sugar and processed grains. The Nabisco (National Biscuit Company) was an American company that bought the original maker of Triscuts and Shredded Wheat (The Shredded Wheat Company) and Christie's (Christie, Brown & Company of Toronto) and introduced their products in different markets with the name that was most prominent. Nabisco was bought by Kraft, which then merged with RJ Reynolds Tobacco and became RJR Nabisco which as had been merged an spun off several times since then. It seems that in the last 30 years food trends began shifting much more rapidly in the US than many other places and many products sold here are nothing like they were when they were introduce originally, but many are still often available in other markets.
Kraft has sold it's Canadian cheese product line to Parmalat.
Now do the bagged milk, Joe Louis, Coffee Crisp, etc. ;) Canadian.
Coffee Crisp is a product made for the Canadian Market, it is manufactured by the Swiss multinational company "Nestlé" (say "nest-lee")
Originaly a British Chocolate Bar called "Biscrisp" made by Rowntree in 1930's it evolved from multiple flavours to the "Coffee Crisp" Flavor, the factory was located in Toronto Ontario...
Another crazy thing Mondelēz, is a nonsense word adopted in 2012 that was suggested by Kraft Foods employees, as the new name for the company that produces the following brands:
Belvita, Chips Ahoy!, Nabisco, Oreo, Ritz, TUC, Triscuit, LU, Club Social, Barny and Peek Freans (cookies and crackers); Milka, Côte d'Or, Toblerone, Cadbury, Green & Black's, Freia, Marabou, Fry's, Lacta (chocolate), Trident, Dentyne, Chiclets, Halls, Stride (gum and cough drops), Tate's Bake Shop and Tang.
@@AdamDavid a number of those things are not in Canada.
@@j2174 that's true, but I never said that they all are, also some of the items are Regional they have some of them in Ontario but they don't carry them in Quebec or in British Columbia Etc...
it's like milk the dairy that you buy in the grocery store here is from Farquhar's dairy.. where are the same grocery stores in Southern Ontario carry products from Neilson which is actually owned by Saputo, and sealtest which is owned by Good Humor Breyers which itself is actually owned by Unilever International... guess what the milk comes from the same cows. Follow the same strict legal requirements and basically it's just a name on a package lol.
Bagged milk is good, because when it goes on sale, you can buy a lot, freeze it and it doesn't take up too much room in the freezer.
Not supposed to freeze milk
@@Frankie343 why? It freezes great lol no problems in 40 years
@@Frankie343 you can freeze milk 🤦♀️ stop giving false information
My mom has froze milk since i was a kid ...my only complaint was that the fat seperates when dethawing
@@Frankie343 There are places in the arctic and sub arctic that freeze milk all the time because everything gets flown in and deliveries can get iffy in the Winter.
The most incredible part of this video is how a basket of 4-5 items turns into a 2 hour ordeal.
I was in a Vancouver grocery store and immediately looked for and found those Canadian Maple Leaf cookies. They are great.
My favorite too - Cheers
There in Alberta they taste great
Dude you can buy these at any Save-a-Lot in the states.
My papa used to buy them all the time!! They are so good!!
Please keep the Canadian/American videos coming! This has prompted a friend and I to send each other swap packages😍
chevyrell awesome!!
Bagged milk is best cause you can open one, and the rest stay fresher, sealed.. Or if your neighbor needs to borrow some milk you just lend them a whole bag instead of a cup or two.
It's actually kind of sweet knowing that Canadians consider bagged milk more convenient if your neighbours need some in a pinch
@Jaybay Jay ....... The best thing about bagged milk is you can freeze 2 bags until you need one and they last so much longer that way, unless you have kids of course lol.
@@vivian4949 Ewwwww.. I loathe frozen milk.. It taste watery afterwards.
@@JaybayJay ........ My family has never experienced watery milk after being defrosted.
@@vivian4949 My Gf's where I grew up we got milk from the cow, I hated that stuff so they had to buy milk to get me to drink it, and now I'm really picky only drink 2% and thawed milk reminds me of it.
You guys make this show great. You compliment each other well.
I went shopping in a grocery store in England and it was about as different and familiar as this was
When I went to Canada to watch my buddy play football I was so confused by the bagged milk. However I will say that the game is very exciting. CFL is a lot of fun.
Mr.972 it sure is. I use to work for the CFL doing their videos!
WHO BUYS KETCHUP PRINGLES 🤢🤢🤢Lays Ketchup Chips all day 🙌
Yeah pringles are so gross
the Cape Cod or old dutch ketchup Even better :D
Yea lays is best and loads of flavor ketchup is really good to
No Name if you are on a budget. Still better than Pringles.
Ketchup Doritos
The reaction to the bagged milk ! Love it, he was legit laughing, I think I would react the same
There's milk in bags here in America. It was available when my daughter was young n it's available now at any Kwik Trip convenience/gas station in the midwest. Old Dutch makes ketchup chips.
Tawny Schlienz Never seen those in any store over here in Maine. I’m a stone’s throw away from Canada. I think I’ve seen Old Dutch chips, however.
maybe in the North part of the states the ones that are closer to the Canadian border
I live three hours from the boarder. I've lived here my whole life, and have never scene milk in a bag.
They way they reacted about bagged milk killed me 🤣🤣🤣
Attention Americans weirded out by milk in bags: it's how most coffee shops get their milk and mcdonalds gets its milk in bags.
Easier to pour
Most of Canada particularly Western Canada doesn't believe in that weirdness so what you talking?...🤔🤷♂️
Yeah I think that's just on the east coast they try to be different cuz they dont work for their money just take it from the west :p
It's not about pouring. Its about transportation and storage
They also get their sodas in a bag as syrup
Bring him grocery shopping at Walmart. He will be really surprised
Should have him try other Canadian candy like "Wunderbar" and all dressed chips.
Already happened
Wunderbar is freakin' awesome. I CRAVE that.
Are nerds Canadian?
I dont speak french but alot of the time I only read the french description and know exactly what im getting 😅 you get used to it.
Why?
Jade Portman , I always sigh in exasperation when I find myself looking at French words. I chose to not learn French, & I’ve never had a reason to regret that. But I’m resigned to the fact that the French labeling is necessary in a multi-language country.
@@esthermiller2713 Your a Moron refusing by principe to learn french. You must live in mtl and therefore your a racist type sort of a Rhodesian. No wonder why we want to quit Canada and get our own country, From Quebec whitout love and yes you can keep the rockies. Excuse my english but for sur i am better than you.
@@mariobou123 being a piece of shit to someone doesn't make u seem any better if all of quebec is like u then u can go fuck off out of this country
The best ketchup is Old Dutch. Pringle’s sux!
You Got That Right..
The Pringle Ketchup is a new product! It take ages to the company to do a Ketchup version!
Old Dutch. Still love them in the box!
the best ketchup chip is lays...
Kevin Negoro I bought a bag last night and was thinking I haven’t seen them in a box in years. Where do you get them? They were the best!
I live in Wisconsin and we have bagged milk.
My daughters teacher has the same name as you
I love these guys. Such a great representation of two guys having friendly banter over cultural nuances. I grew up in NB but have been living in DC area for over 21 years. I still miss home and get a kick out of these two going back and forth. I find myself explaining Canadian jargon to my American friends still to this day.
They invented milk in a bag to save on packaging.
By putting more plastic on it? I’m confused haha.
@@oAPXo It has less plastic than a gallon jug. Those bags are 1 gallon.
@@ColtonBlumhagen why don't they just put it in a milk carton
@@Phoenix-iq8ei They have those too, but they don't make gallon cartons, only plastic jugs, which use more plastic, so they use bags.
Colton Blumhagen You said they don’t make gallon cartons? Tell that to the Germans, I go shopping there quite regularly, and they have cartons of juice, milk etc. Which is in 1 gallon cartons. 🤷🏼♀️
I'm from Ontario and we put it in a jug. It holds our bagged milk and it makes it easier to pour. 4l of milk in 3 smaller containers. Way easier than a 4l jug lol only issue is if the jug isn't tall enough the bag folds in on itself and dumps everywhere.
when we had the shorter jugs for the bagged milk we would have to bang the bag down so it didn't do that. Now we have a taller one and don't have to worry about that. :D
He's super adorable! And so are you! Also it's great to see the comparisons! The chemistry between you two is awesome!
The area where I live in Canada, everybody makes fun of the NoFrills but it still is good for low prices though compared to the other ones
yeah but rent is retarded in some places in Canada
Prices aren't always lower there. I've found the same items for less in the Real Canadian Superstore. Some unique items are a good value in No Frills.
yep, sometimes rcss is much cheaper then nf. know your prices !
Californian here - we had bagged milk in elementary/primary school! Individual "pillows" for each kid. You could have chocolate or regular. Furthermore, you drank it by piercing it with a straw directly in the middle and sipping from there. That said, seeing that BIG bag of milk still seemed very different to me, but I like that! Looking forward to eventually exploring Canada and seeing all those subtle differences, and brushing up on my French.
Don't bother....brush up on Arabic instead
You're welcome to come by Montreal!
We can explain all subtle differences, like eco-friendly choices (bagged milk is considered one), healthier products (less salt, less fat, less sugar, bio, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free...).

You guys crack me up - you’re clearly having fun and keeping things light hearted. Good stuff!
We used to have cereals with the word sugar in the name before it was made into a 4-letter word back in the late 70s and most mfrs had to jettison it from their brands and packaging. Super Sugar Crisp became Golden Crisp, and Sugar Smacks became Honey Smacks as two examples. Canada meanwhile still isn’t afraid of that word and still sells those items emblazoned with a huge SUGAR on the front. 😎👍🏻 Props for that.
But I still say y’all are savages for having milk in bags, haha!
Thank you so much for your videos. You guys are so much what I need right now 😊 ❤️
i like lays ketchup chips better then pringles ketchup chips personally. but you should have gotten him to try ruffles all dressed chips.
Wanupgurl they have ruffles all dressed chips in the States now. For about a couple of years already...

Wanupgurl no problem!
@@MartyGlenn72 probably not all over the US though.
@@beccasmama63 I just checked the Frito Lay website, and they are available in most of the U.S., not Kansas and probably a few other midwest states...
I absolutely love the reaction from americans when they see bagged milk or hear of bagged milk. My brother lived in Rochester for 27 yrs and it's always fun to have a conversation about canadian bagged milk.
I'm literally crying that he is babying the milk lol....
I've felt the same the first time I went to an American grocery store.. lol so many different things!
This is such an Eastern Canadian channel, you know as a Western Canadian I did not even hear of bagged milk until a little while ago.
Just FYI for anyone outside of Canada: No-Frills is pretty ghetto. We've got other much nicer grocery store chains. I actually do shop there sometimes, but it's undeniably ghetto.
Well, ghetto as far as Canada goes
lol. Getto. I'm always amazed at the suckers that pay 30% more for things at the upper scale grocery chains. Same products and long waits in line at the cashier.
Just looked like a regular grocery?? I would rather pay for clean and well lit than fancy and overpriced.
Dan M downtown east side, Vancouver. The definition of ghetto.
Shop at foodco now that's ghetto.
Bag milk is very popular in the province of Quebec, because it is cheaper and convenient for families of 4 persons you don’t have to buy milk so often
And Ontario!
Taryn you are absolutely right thanks
Painful. Not convenient at all. I just moved to Ontario a few months ago from BC, and can’t stand it. Awkward to cart around, sit in the fridge, cut correctly, watch for spills using new bags, rinsing... 50/50 whether bags are recycled. I want my 4L jugs back.
That does not make sense. No matter the vessel, a family should go through the same amount of milk. If a family needs two gallons a week, buying two gallons in a bag is the same as buying two gallons in a bottle!
@@johnedwards5575 We still have 4 litre jugs in Ontario. Just ask.
Why would you buy the 1% milk though lol us milk taste watery compared to Canadian milk, but 1% tastes watered down no matter what lol should of got atleast 2%
I drink skim because I can't digest anything else. If I try to drink milk with the dairy fat still in it I get sick.
I always thought why not jußt by 3.25 and water it down! 🤣
2% or homogenized is the choice for me
Funny thing about the bagged milk, we had the bagged milk here in Portland Oregon from Albetsons back in the 1960s with the burnt orange colored pitcher. Mom bought it for awhile because it was a novelty. Did not last long.
Hello from Canada! Milk in bags... 😂 pretty normal to me.
Also, where my Canadian gang at?
About everywhere here
Bagged milk is not a thing in the West.
@@devincrosby1594 - It used to be common.
Never seen bagged milk !!!! I’m from Langley a suburb of Vancouver BC
Bag milk started when Canada switched to the metric system. I was easier/cheaper to use bags. Why? I have no idea.
Born and raised in Western Canada, and only learned about No Frills within the past year or so. I've heard of Moon Pies, but not Jos Louis, and while I knew people who drank bagged milk, mine wasn't a family that did that. And, yes...ketchup chips are awesome, though I don't know why they're unique to this country.
Coastal Animist no frills is a super cheap grocery - not sure why they went there
@@livefortheweekends9923 Why would you shop at a place that isn't super cheap?
Zuzu Superfly it’s seen as ghetto. I’m pretty sure they are like the lower end store of Superstore, they have the same brands such as No name and Presidents Choice.
@@eliv.o7105 Every grocery store has more or less the exact same products. I've never been to a grocery store that was filled with completely different, "non-ghetto" groceries. The only difference is that some are cheaper than others. That brings me back to the point, why would you shop somewhere just to pay more? If I buy a bag of 2% milk, is it ghetto because I bought it at the wrong store?
@costal animist You must not be in Vancouver, because there are a few of them here.
We have milk in jugs as well, they’re usually found at convenience stores not actual grocery stores.
I grew up in Alberta and I've never seen bagged milk in my life. I have seen it in England and Scotland though
It's common in Quebec as well..
I have years ago.
I'm from Alberta as well, I too have never seen bagged milk. Although my fiance who is 10 years older than me says he remembers seeing bagged milk in Alberta as a little kid. 🤷♀️ maybe it was a thing in Alberta many moons ago?
@@whitneykaye It was a thing in Alberta. We also had a person that delivered it to the doorstep, we called him the milkman.
Remember, bagged milk is not all across Canada. Ontario & Quebec, and parts of the maritime only.
Paula Teel I’ve learned this from the many comments here. How interesting! What a world. I wonder if it affects taste in any way. Acually my best friend drinks a bag of milk a day. It’s nuts. He knows his milk I should do a taste test with him.
Hi Joseph. My friend in Alberta says she doesn’t taste any real difference when she’s here.

In California you get packaging info in English, French, and Spanish. It does help you pick up another language.
Rebecca Johnston , I don’t know how much you know about Canadian ways, but I’ll tell you something in case you weren’t aware of this. 😁 Our country (Canada) is bilingual. We have just ONE province (Quebec) that only speaks French (although I figure most of them have learned English....but are hesitant to admit it...lol ). Consequently, French has been taught in our schools for decades now. (I myself have never had the confidence to learn French,....so in high school I purposely chose the commercial course....to avoid having to learn French. The only other course offered....general......included French). The Canadian law requires that EVERY ITEM sold in Canada MUST have the French translation for every ENGLISH word on the labeling! Inevitably, every time I go to read a label, I find I’m staring at the FRENCH wording!! lol
you got that right! It's called law 101 in Quebec. The law protects our French language (which is compleeetly different sounding than french from France!). If you came to Quebec and heard us talk french, it would be hard to understand depending in what region you are. Although law 101 isn't loved by everyone, it's something that the province stands by, from food packaging to road signs and to employers and employees who must adress the customers in french before any other language. Also, we love our bagged milk 💪
Still it’s different in California. I’m Californian and usually our packaging is English on the front but has instructions in 2-3 languages on the back (usually Spanish and sometimes French and Spanish - French is rarer though)
Christopher , bottom line? Instead of we who only speak English feeling a bit irritated when we find ourselves staring at the printed languages that we don’t understand, we should actually be happy & grateful that it’s proof of caring consideration for those who are able to understand clearly what the information on the labels say in their own language. We must learn to look beyond ourselves to see & appreciate that the needs of others are being met this way.
The box artwork is different, I think, to easily look at the box and know it's the multilingual packaging for Canada.
his comment about two languages being confusing is so funny. and he is politically incorrect and doesn't know it. it is very silly when a word is both the same in English and French but they insist on printing it twice.
I've never seen anyone cradle a milk bag like that XD You can tell he thinks it will pop if he carries it by the bag at the top lol
You should have made him pay with only loonies & toonies.
@Johnny Rep it a $2 coin
@Johnny Rep I've never heard of either. What is a "Loonie"? A one dollar coin?
@@jrasicmark1 it's a dollar coin.
Bet another thing he has never seen is the 13% GST!
@@davidcampbell1899 what province has a 13% GST?
For the longest time I thought it was weird to have milk in cartons because I only ever had bagged milk! And nothing like drinking it right from the bag when it's nice and cold!!!!! Delicious!
Mishka's Makeup & More most of Canada and the EU have milk in the bag, then again they don't pasturize milk either. Raw milk is actually unhealthy for you if you don't drink it the minute it comes from the cow.
Oh man! You guys crack me up! I’d probably pee my pants laughing if I had to hang out with you! 😂
Yeah ketchup chips and bagged milk are pretty popular here, and No Frills is also a popular store around Canada, and for the milk we use milk jugs that you put a bag of milk inside then you cut an end of the corner to pour the milk out
His reaction to the milk was priceless
Of all grocery stores...No Frills???
Superstore, Loblaws, Longos, Sobeys, Metro...way better options and selections!
A Geebs I’m Canadian and i’ve never heard of No Frills!! All the stores you’ve listed it were way better options!
No frills is loblaws
typical STUPID! makes us look dumb.... not cool we hv gr8 options
@@jadex4228 Loblaws Discount Brand not in west
Jake Knelsen lol I know but if you’ve ever been to a Loblaws you know it’s not the same
oh ya jo Louis!! seeing that joy made me happy!!
I remember the first time I saw bagged milk at my aunt's house in Scarborough, and was like "cool!" Long ago, I visited my cousin in Etobicoke and seeing 4-litre jugs of milk in plastic, so you did have both for a while. Not every part of Canada seems to have bag milk. And, you can now get ketchup chips in the US but as a localized thing (Herr's or Utz in the east has made them). What I've fallen in love with are all-dressed as well as poutine chips!
Definitely Coffee Crisp is very Canadian.
One thing I miss in the States for my childhood that you still have in Canada is canned, prepared Five-Alive! We only get it in frozen concentrate the few times I've ever found it here.
Also, many brands that have two names started out as different companies that either bought each other, or were bought by a third party. Christie/Nabisco is an example.
Bags of milk are lighter, easier to use for most people. I remember buying milk before it came in bags and as a kid, carrying a
large jug of milk home from the store was not easy. It was not easy for a kid or a weaker adult to pour their milk from the large jug too. Jugs also took up more room on the table too. It is SOOOO much easier to use bags then the jugs... which is why they are so popular where sold. Many stores still sell large jugs where they sell bags but so few want them because bags are so much better to use.
Everyone forgot about the kinder surprise eggs!!!
Our next video coming in a few days you’ll be happy about!
I think I'm going to love this channel. I don't know why, but I really like checking out differences between our 2 countries. It started when I passed the border in to Canada, and everything looked the same except for the metric system, and all signs were in French.

YES!!! That's right! Thanks for that!
Cows udderly love natural bagged milk!
Natural? Its made of plastic too
Y'all should have tried macintosh toffee! I grew up on it whenever my dad would come back from a fishing/canoeing trip. I have yet to find anything here that even compares to it.
This was super adorable!
I love the friendship these two have
Lmao as a Canadian I find this so weird and entertaining
Katie • good!! 😄
Fellow Canadian, eh?
you missed
maple leaf cookies
Oh I love those indeed. Can never get enough of those.
Those things are amazing
Bag milk🤔
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa have had “Milk in a bag” for 30 years. KwikTrip Cooperation has its own dairy, has offered bag and plastic jugs for many years.
I guess those are all parts of eastern Canada
all of my mothers side of the family is in iowa....never seen a bag of milk there...my cousin live behind a kwiktrip....no bagged milk:(

Your bromance is amazing 💞 Love your videos!
we need bagged milk in the states NOW! less waste, more fun...
Kwik Trip has bagged milk in USA
How is it less waste? Plastic bags damage the earth way more the milk container, it's still not biodegradable plastic going into the ocean and landfills
@@Amandahugginkizz It's still less waste. I guarantee a bag used for milk will degrade faster than a plastic carton. Americans would have to buy more milk in glass or paper cartons to make a difference.
@@nateman10 Where I live there is zero community recycling, very little metal recycling (not to mention zero public transit) -- households and businesses simply throw everything away -- so all things equal the best choice for me would be the material that degrades the fastest since I am intent on not recycling. I have started noticing more milk in cartons and may go back to that assuming the price is comparable to gallon jugs of milk. Bags of milk seem like there is less waste by volume.
The issue with bagged milk is that you can't reseal it so it picks up other flavors from the fridge.
Thanks for the suggestion Mrs. dangle
Used to be able to buy "clear" cream soda in Canada
Still can, just not the mainstream brands.
I'm 48 years old and all i want to do is : " Moooommmmyyyyy Jason is drinking from the bag of milk agaaaaaiiiin! Moooom!"
🤓😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Y can’t u?
I live in Wisconsin and we have milk in bags as an option!!
Yes we do. Probably a reason alot of non cheeseheads think we're Canadian a little bit.
I think that if you are a bit curious, you can learn some of another langage by reading packaging. Living in Montréal, I learned a lot of English vocabulary that way. Then, when I was twenty and mostly bilingual, I went to California and lived in an shared appartment with American students for a while. Each of us had to participate to cooking and buying food. That's when I realised that I never learned how "navet" was called in English because there are no canned turnip... 😉
I went to France 2 months ago, and I only studied French until grade 10 so I'm barely conversational at best and my husband was even worse. However, both of us had no issues communicating food because we're familiar with it all from food labels 😂It really helps!
One of my first jobs was working at a dairy bagging milk that was in the early 90's
I thought everybody had Milk Bag Pitcher Growing up, I still have the one my parents had in the 70's. Love these video's!
I travel for work & I must bring bagged milk home whenever I go into the Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa area. It tastes better.
When they poured it into the cup, it looked better. Looks as if it has a higher percent of cream than the jug milk we get in the USA..
We used to make Border runs to Buffalo for spray cheese in a can.
Ugh.
Not sure why bagged milk isn't common world wide. You get more and when it comes to storing it in your fridge, you can throw the unopened bags anywhere. With a carton, once it's open, you have to keep it upright. Jugs take up even more room than the cartons.
I like these guys! :) I’ve been watching your guys content keep it up !
