Thanksgiving was a thing in Canada before it was a thing in the US. It makes more sense to have it in October because that's when the harvest is finished. By November, it'll have snowed in most of Canada.
Non-Canadians look at a bag of milk, and wonder Why would you want to keep a liquid in a container with no firm structure? The answer is: Before opening them (snipping off a corner with scissors), we put the bags in these standard (& re-useable) molded plastic jugs that hold them snuggly & securely upright. The advantage to bags is: _much_ less waste packaging than disposable jugs or waxed/plasticky cartons. And by the way, the bags are pretty tough, so they don't leak unless they've _really_ gotten banged around.
Bagged milk also stays fresher longer. If you open a 4L carton, you have 5 - 7 days before it goes bad. with bagged milk, you only open 1.33L at a time.
they are tough, droppped a few by accident from the countertop to the floor and it never burst, the same happened with cardboard or plastic 2L and they burst everytime..
I used to drink a lot of milk as a kid and it was in bags. Now I don't drink so much and buy the smaller cartons but I much prefer the bags. For the larger amounts of milk, the bags are way better than the big jugs we used to use in the 70s before metric and the bags came in.
The Canadian post offices receive millions of letters Canada wide. There’s nothing greater at Christmastime as when your child receives a letter back from Santa with the help of his elves. Their smiles say it all. To , Santa Claus, North Pole, Hohoho. This is one address that a child never forgets. The American Christmas shows always have children sending letters to Santa.
Technically, it's H0H 0H0, as in letter-number-letter, number-letter-number. And I can't believe an American has _never_ written a letter to Santa Claus. You must have lead a sheltered life...
There are very few places that have bagged milk anymore. It's basically just some parts of Ontario and Quebec. In BC they stopped using bagged milk in the 80s
Except that it's also in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador. However it is by far the third choice behind Milk in Cartons and Milk in Plastic Jugs
Canadians also tend to enjoy All Dressed chips which is also pretty exclusive to Canada I do believe. It's basically every flavour in one. Not one of my favourite though.
Actually milk in bags is an Eastern Canada thing? We don’t have bags in Alberta , BC or Saskatchewan not Manitoba! I think it’s common in Ontario maybe Quebec again not sure about the Maritimes? Another thing we have not had Pennie’s for 10 to 15 years as it costs almost two cents to make one and people just toss then as they are a nuisance! L
I like our money too. Americans are always making fun of it calling it Monopoly money but the colours make it easier to use, need $5 bucks it’s the blue one. It’s also waterproof, tear resistant and hard to counterfeit.
"Great White North" was a phrase used by the characters Bob and Doug Mackenzie [Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas] in the SCTV comedy show that ran in the early 1980s. Moranis and Thomas were making fun of the most embarrassing Canadian cultural cliches, and since the show was aired in the U.S., the phrase caught on, even more with Americans than Canadians.
I'll never understand why non-Canadians think ketchup chips are so strange. Chips are deep fried potato parts just like French fries and what is the most popular condiment for French fries? Ketchup should have been the first and most obvious flavour for chips.
@dougs6433 I understand your sentiment. The problem is that ketchup flavored chips don't taste like ketchup at all. Its just a mixed spice/chemical concoction put on chips.
@@RobRochonI agree that it doesn't really taste like ketchup but most of the reactions thinking that it's weird are before people try them. So, it's the concept that throws them off... which is odd to me.
Coupla benefits of bagged milk - takes up less room in the fridge, easier for little hands (they can pour their own) and you can freeze them. The original reason though was changing from Imperial to Metric.
Buddy, you seem to be a happy guy; you young lady seem to be about as happy as a prune. Sorry but you made the whole video look like you were just tolerating it.
I didn't know for a long time that Americans didn't really go into Cuba, obviously I knew about thier past history, we were taught "WORLD" history growing up not just Canadian history, but yes Cuba is one of our favorite destinations to go on holidays
Wow.... The guy seems very interested and sympathetic. The woman seems disgusted and pathetic. I love the true response but she can %^## her self. No I did not enjoy this one bit. Her Idea of Canada disgusts me. No likes here. Surprised you can even be a couple. I really feel for you dude.
Agree but I’m not sure his interest is genuine, he’s constantly laughing at the video but in a “that’s so stupid” way. The chick has the typical American attitude of “we are the best at everything” the eye rolls and just the look on her face is totally mean girls. It’s like when a rich person looks down at the help. I don’t know why they do these videos, I’ve watched a couple and it’s basically the same thing, he laughs at something and then looks at her stone face. She looks like she’s just annoyed 24/7. I’m with you, no likes on this video. Not interested in wasting my time with anymore. Maybe they can consider this comment as a reaction to their reaction. 👎
She’s obnoxious. At least Canada has water proof money. He’s just as stupid. They should do their own research instead of copying someone else’s. They are both rude. 💯🇨🇦
One of the greatest showcases of the Canadian attitude was Bob and Doug MacKenzie skit on Second City. It was a comedy skit show produced, written by, directed by and acted by Canadians. It was shown in the States which is how they set the length of the show. In Canada however there was about 2 minutes less commercial time than in the States. So they were told to do a recurring skit to cover the extra time and to make sure it was Canadian. This had everyone confused because everything was already Canadian. So as a form of sarcasm they introduced the skit of Bob and Doug MacKenzie aka Tbe Great White North. They would sit around drinking beer, talking about hockey, wearing toques and say eh a lot. It became wildly popular in Canada and spawned the movie Strange Brew
Milk in bags ensures purity and protects from spoilage between the dairy farm and the home purchasing the milk. It came around when bottle caps could be loosend and the product lost to spoilage.
Interesting to hear that you are interested in visiting British Columbia. There is only one rule that us BCers enforce, that is you must never talk about your visit here and how beautiful it is. The reason is that people intend to visit and never go home. Its truly a cross that we have to bare living in this part of the world.
16:00 (Two official languages). Consider this for a moment. As we were unifying our collection of European-founded colonies into a single country, making French an official language alongside English was a concession we had to make to get the French colonies of Quebec to agree to join us. In the USA, the comparable concession was... well... keeping slavery. ...I feel better about having to learn French in school now.
11:35 Maybe go to Cuba before you assume to much about it? (Especially if all you know about it comes through the political filter of USA-based news programs?) Yes, the country on the whole is poor, and there is a fair amount of poverty there (certainly compared to the most of the tourists who can afford to visit the Caribbean on holiday) but their government actually provides a lot of important things free for them that the USA doesn't for their people. Like healthcare, and college. Yeah, you heard me; The two things most likely to drive an American into lifelong, crippling debt are free to all residents in Cuba. You wanna be a doctor? Start studying, because your tuition is on El Presidente!
Sorry I had to give you a 👎 just couldn't stand the attitude dripping from the young lady, maybe try not being angry and utube at the same time. You have a nice day 😊
3:30 You seem very resistant to the idea of ketchup chips. It's not like tossing back a bottle of Heinz straight. Think more... "salty dried tomato". It actually complements the salty potato flavour pretty well, like pasta sauce on spaghetti.
Perhaps, but I'd rather not have the plastic chemical nonylphenol leaching into my milk, which even food grade plastics can have. Better safe than sorry.
15:30 "Why do you put [milk] in a bag?" It's just another type of container. There's a plastic pitcher to drop the bag in for pouring. We have cartons too (glass bottles... not as much. They kind of went away with glass coke bottles). The thing is, the bag milk is usually bought 4L at a time, so it's an economical choice for, say, a family of 4-5 people who go through a lot of milk and aren't so concerned with it spoiling before it can be used up. Also restaurants, who likewise go through a high volume quickly. Bachelors like myself stick to the cartons that can be tightly resealed to stay fresh longer.
You should come to BC. The parks are a famous tourist attraction (Banff and Jasper). Northern BC is where I live and Iv'e only been to the Parks a few times
12:30 "Canadian Thanksgiving". It's really very simple. Gratitude theme aside, it's a harvest festival, and being farther north, we have a shorter summer and a longer winter. The main harvest season is therefor earlier. That's pretty much it.
Wow it never surprises me to see an American reaction to something that isn't American :) The shock, (they are so different from us !) Maybe for future generations your education system might include other countries/cultures but we all know that will never happen :) This has been a very rare version of a Canadian and I apologize but Damn it your country has gone to shit over the the last few years and here you are laughing and joking about us? Peace and Love from Canada eh :) sorry :)
P.S. "Gone to shit" TRUMP!!! The entire world is shaking their heads as to WTF has happened to a country (literally formed by immigrants) to be on the urge of civil war over defending a wannabe spoiled man-child dictator?
Not sure who created the video you watched, but bagged milk is NOT all over Canada. Back in the 80s it was more common, but these days it's mostly just in Ontario. The rest of the country uses jugs (2L or 4L) or cartons. And that demonstration was hilarious. You NEVER pour the milk INTO the jug -- you put the bag IN the jug, snipped the end with scissors and poured it out that way.
@@sadee1287 I didn't know about the walnuts in port one. Can't say I'm much of a nut fan. The Christmas cracker thing is great. In my family we believe in getting the cheapest ones possible, containing terrible jokes and tacky 'gifts' along with the obligatory crown. One year my grandad bought some really cheap ones and every cracker contained the same terrible joke. (What's the difference between a train and a tree? One leaves it's shed and the other sheds it's leaves.) My grandad was getting increasingly annoyed each time the joke appeared, the rest of us thought it was hilarious (not the joke, the situation I mean). :D
To be fair, milk is also sold in cartons and plastic jugs and the younger generations mostly buy those as opposed to the plastic bags, but it is cheaper in bags. It's good for people and families that drink alot of milk because you can't really close the bags, so you need to get through it quick once it's opened. 1 bag is 1 litre or about 1/4 of a gallon.
@@sadee1287 Like I said, mostly good for families who drink alot of milk. When I was a kid, we'd go through a bag each meal... so it wouldn't stay open in the fridge for hours.
1) 1 bag of milk = 1.33333 litres of milk, as there are 3 bags per bag, not 4. 2) I regularly drink 4 litres of milk per week myself, so the bagged milk isn’t just for large families. 3) Bagged milk is available all over Quebec, most of Ontario (that I’m aware of), and at least part of the Maritimes. 4) Fun fact: My mom still gets her milk delivered by the milkman in the suburbs of Montreal.
The BEST part of being Canadian is being able to proudly say that you are NOT American. Canadian children don't get shot at schools. Our elections are administered by a non-partisan federal agency and voters decide the winner, not some 'electoral college'. Our politicians are still forced to resign when caught doing something immoral or illegal. Canadians can go to Walmart, concerts and nightclubs without being shot. Weed is legal.
5:00 "Don't think I'd get as cold waist down as waist up." She's right, though it's more like thighs-down. Keeping your core and extremities warm and dry does most of the work keeping you from freezing. The halfway points between? Not as crucial. You notice that mailman isn't running around without his heavy boots and thick coat. Same way you can wear a hat but leave your face exposed (up to a certain point, of course. Trust me, when it actually gets to -30 or lower, that mail carrier will be done up like mummy.)
Thanks for your reaction. Why great white north ?--bcs many people think that Canada is frozen all year round, so we got that nickname. ketchup chips=not really ketchup, but more red no. 12 and artificial flavor that taste more like a spice mix than ketchup. For milk in bags, it's more seen in Ontario & Québec provinces, but personally, I use regular cartons. To experience all of this, just cross the border and come visit us. Have a nice day, both of you.
the most northern part of canada is within the arctic circle ..... the top of California is further north than the most southern part of Canada. temperatures can hit -40C in winter + 40C in the summers. summers are pretty much the same but winter is not the same weather from coast to coast. only 4 or 5 provinces get milk in a bag. and the video was correct for a change
They failed in the video. The milk bag goes into the plastic containter and just cut the corner. Don't actually pour the bag of milk into the container.
lol "no one's going skiing like that" people DO go skiing like that here. In the spring it gets warm enough to ski without a jacket or winter gear and there's still snow on the ground. It is a form a physical activity so you do work up a sweat! I've seen guys skiing in their underwear on the slopes.
6:30 "Canadian currency an old term for it is the Loony" Uh... not any older than 1987, as you just heard, that's when we introduced the coin with the loon on it to replace the paper dollar bill. It's still term for the $1 coin itself, but the currency is still and likely always will be "dollars". "Give a bum a looney". "Your car costs $40,000 dollars" and so on...
I agree, ketchup is disgusting. I'm a Canadian who never eats it and I have never tried a ketchup chip. Also I have a client who wears shorts year round. It's very common to see people at the hockey games in Edmonton wearing shorts in the winter.
7:35 The main difference between "V8 juice" and "clamato" is one of them has clams in it. Yeeeaaah... that's not for everyone, in or out of Bloody Marys.
Milk in bags keeps the milk fresh longer as you get like 3 or 4 smaller portion bags in a bigger bag so only a small portion of the milk is exposed to external contaminants. Some people even freeze the extra bags... but those people are weird XD. All in all I prefer the bag method. Bagged milk is not done across the country though I live in Edmonton and bagged milk is not a thing here. Regarding the "Great white north" moniker my assumption is that we just get longer and more severe winters than most a you southern neighbours of ours ^_^. save Alaskans so it just stuck I can assure you we're not "all white" XD
Sending letters to Santa is hardly unique to Canada (who also send their letters to wrong country, as everyone in the world knows Santa lives in Finland) People all over the world send letters to Santa in Finland. We have Santa's post office in Rovaniemi.
While your "Joulupukki" may live in the woods -- as we all know the North Pole has no trees, so it can't be in Finland. Ehkä hän on vain lomalla Suomessa....ha ha!
Happy Birthday. Only some provinces have bagged milk. Alberta stopped using bagged milk in the 80's. Our Thanksgiving has nothing to do with pilgrims, and is just a harvest celebration that started in the 1500's. Fun fact the Canadian Monarchy is the only Constitutional Monarchy in the Commonwealth that was first installed as a French Crown and not a British.
NOOOOOO, not the f'ing milk in bags thing again? That is ONLY in freaking Ontario. Canadians are all white? Whoa, danger Will Robinson, that is a pretty dumb thing to say.
milk in bags is much more enviromentaly responsible. we are the 'great white north bc of all the ice and snow, including many glaciers, but def not bc of white people. not only do we have a very large first nations component, but because we welcome so many immigrants - and always have - we are one of the most multi-cultural nations on earth'. maybe it was just a very bad day, but my perception is that one of you should def not be doing this type of work/hobby. very critical and sarcastic, just giving off a lot of negative energy. it ruined the vid for me, so i had to downvote. sorry
@@sadee1287 less energy and cost to manufacture and transport. if they DO end up in landfill, 20 bags takes up way less space than one carton or jug. also, many people wash the bags and re-use the for kitty litter or dog poop - just cut off the top of the bag completely. there are more reasons, but that's good for a start
Yes, Canadian Thanksgiving is actually older than the USA's and has nothing to do with Pilgrims.
I'm really don't get Americans Thanksgiving to be honest, I understand why but our Thanksgiving is meant for the harvest festival
Thanksgiving was a thing in Canada before it was a thing in the US. It makes more sense to have it in October because that's when the harvest is finished. By November, it'll have snowed in most of Canada.
That's the most untrue statement on the internet.
Non-Canadians look at a bag of milk, and wonder Why would you want to keep a liquid in a container with no firm structure? The answer is: Before opening them (snipping off a corner with scissors), we put the bags in these standard (& re-useable) molded plastic jugs that hold them snuggly & securely upright. The advantage to bags is: _much_ less waste packaging than disposable jugs or waxed/plasticky cartons. And by the way, the bags are pretty tough, so they don't leak unless they've _really_ gotten banged around.
Bagged milk also stays fresher longer. If you open a 4L carton, you have 5 - 7 days before it goes bad. with bagged milk, you only open 1.33L at a time.

Never seen a plastic bag milk. Think it's an Ontario or Eastern Canada thing I think. Definitely not in the west.
@@Peabodyout I've never heard this, I assumed it was a pan-Canadian thing! Can someone else from Western Canada confirm this??

I am Canadian and it's called the great White North because it's always covered in snow
Except it isn't always covered in snow like people think.
You're obviously not Canadian if you think that
The milk bag is actually placed in a holder and the corner snipped off.
There are very few places that have bagged milk anymore. It's basically just some parts of Ontario and Quebec. In BC they stopped using bagged milk in the 80s

Milk in bags is only in a couple of provinces, . Bagged milk is considered more environmentally friendly.

And that demonstration was hilarious. You NEVER pour the milk INTO the jug -- you put the bag IN the jug, snipped the end with scissors and poured it out that way.
Hm, we have ketchup-flavored chips in Germany.🤷♂ (And barbecue is not a flavor but a cooking method😅).
Santa is from Finland
Just the elves. 😂
Ei, joulupukkisi asuu metsässä. Pohjoisnavalla ei ole puita.
In UK we used write letters to Santa then put them up our open fireplace chimneys,not many open fireplaces now though ❤
Yes, one year my brother did that but refused to tell our parents what he was asking for in the letter. They had no idea what he wanted. :)
Full of Dickensian children & théir brooms.,...............
@@CRINOTH Smart child! That's one way to trick mum and dad. :)
I love your cracker tradition! And roasted chestnuts. And walnuts steeped in port. Wow, now I wish I could spend Christmas in the UK... ☺
@@sadee1287 I didn't know about the walnuts in port one. Can't say I'm much of a nut fan. The Christmas cracker thing is great. In my family we believe in getting the cheapest ones possible, containing terrible jokes and tacky 'gifts' along with the obligatory crown. One year my grandad bought some really cheap ones and every cracker contained the same terrible joke. (What's the difference between a train and a tree? One leaves it's shed and the other sheds it's leaves.) My grandad was getting increasingly annoyed each time the joke appeared, the rest of us thought it was hilarious (not the joke, the situation I mean). :D
To be fair, milk is also sold in cartons and plastic jugs and the younger generations mostly buy those as opposed to the plastic bags, but it is cheaper in bags. It's good for people and families that drink alot of milk because you can't really close the bags, so you need to get through it quick once it's opened. 1 bag is 1 litre or about 1/4 of a gallon.
More like it's not good. Who wants to drink from an open container? Whatever floats your boat. Personally I prefer cartons.
@@sadee1287 Like I said, mostly good for families who drink alot of milk. When I was a kid, we'd go through a bag each meal... so it wouldn't stay open in the fridge for hours.
1) 1 bag of milk = 1.33333 litres of milk, as there are 3 bags per bag, not 4. 2) I regularly drink 4 litres of milk per week myself, so the bagged milk isn’t just for large families. 3) Bagged milk is available all over Quebec, most of Ontario (that I’m aware of), and at least part of the Maritimes. 4) Fun fact: My mom still gets her milk delivered by the milkman in the suburbs of Montreal.
The BEST part of being Canadian is being able to proudly say that you are NOT American. Canadian children don't get shot at schools. Our elections are administered by a non-partisan federal agency and voters decide the winner, not some 'electoral college'. Our politicians are still forced to resign when caught doing something immoral or illegal. Canadians can go to Walmart, concerts and nightclubs without being shot. Weed is legal.
5:00 "Don't think I'd get as cold waist down as waist up." She's right, though it's more like thighs-down. Keeping your core and extremities warm and dry does most of the work keeping you from freezing. The halfway points between? Not as crucial. You notice that mailman isn't running around without his heavy boots and thick coat.
Same way you can wear a hat but leave your face exposed (up to a certain point, of course. Trust me, when it actually gets to -30 or lower, that mail carrier will be done up like mummy.)
Thanks for your reaction. Why great white north ?--bcs many people think that Canada is frozen all year round, so we got that nickname. ketchup chips=not really ketchup, but more red no. 12 and artificial flavor that taste more like a spice mix than ketchup. For milk in bags, it's more seen in Ontario & Québec provinces, but personally, I use regular cartons. To experience all of this, just cross the border and come visit us. Have a nice day, both of you.
The national anthem was NOT translated to English. The lyrics are two entirely distinct compositions having very little in common.
Milk in bags extends the shelf life of the milk.
the most northern part of canada is within the arctic circle ..... the top of California is further north than the most southern part of Canada. temperatures can hit -40C in winter + 40C in the summers. summers are pretty much the same but winter is not the same weather from coast to coast. only 4 or 5 provinces get milk in a bag. and the video was correct for a change
They failed in the video. The milk bag goes into the plastic containter and just cut the corner. Don't actually pour the bag of milk into the container.
Loners...but *not* alone! I *love* it!
lol "no one's going skiing like that" people DO go skiing like that here. In the spring it gets warm enough to ski without a jacket or winter gear and there's still snow on the ground. It is a form a physical activity so you do work up a sweat! I've seen guys skiing in their underwear on the slopes.
6:30 "Canadian currency an old term for it is the Loony" Uh... not any older than 1987, as you just heard, that's when we introduced the coin with the loon on it to replace the paper dollar bill. It's still term for the $1 coin itself, but the currency is still and likely always will be "dollars". "Give a bum a looney". "Your car costs $40,000 dollars" and so on...
I hate that milk in bags is always on these lists. Most of Canada does not use it.
I agree, ketchup is disgusting. I'm a Canadian who never eats it and I have never tried a ketchup chip. Also I have a client who wears shorts year round. It's very common to see people at the hockey games in Edmonton wearing shorts in the winter.
7:35 The main difference between "V8 juice" and "clamato" is one of them has clams in it.
Yeeeaaah... that's not for everyone, in or out of Bloody Marys.
Wow. This was hard to watch! I never seen someone so less enthused and annoyed at having to watch something ever. And why laugh at the anthem?
Milk in bags keeps the milk fresh longer as you get like 3 or 4 smaller portion bags in a bigger bag so only a small portion of the milk is exposed to external contaminants. Some people even freeze the extra bags... but those people are weird XD. All in all I prefer the bag method. Bagged milk is not done across the country though I live in Edmonton and bagged milk is not a thing here. Regarding the "Great white north" moniker my assumption is that we just get longer and more severe winters than most a you southern neighbours of ours ^_^. save Alaskans so it just stuck I can assure you we're not "all white" XD
You put ketchup on fries
Great white north, we're north, it's snows, and we are awesome.
We’re only nice to outsiders, we secretly treat each other like assholes 😐
Ketchup wasn't invented in the US. It was invented in Asia before your country was created
Yeah Caesar has clamato but also Tabasco and Worcestershire and rimmed with celery salt.
I dont eat ketchup as a condiment, not even with fries, but I love ketchup chips.
HAPPY BIRTHMONTH Linda!!!🥰😃
In BC we don’t have milk in bags.
Happy birthday!🎉🎉
Bagged milk is only in Ontario and Quebec.
Sending letters to Santa is hardly unique to Canada (who also send their letters to wrong country, as everyone in the world knows Santa lives in Finland) People all over the world send letters to Santa in Finland. We have Santa's post office in Rovaniemi.
Whatttt? Haha
While your "Joulupukki" may live in the woods -- as we all know the North Pole has no trees, so it can't be in Finland. Ehkä hän on vain lomalla Suomessa....ha ha!
Yet the Postal Code used in North America for letters to Santa is Canadian, H0H 0H0. Canadian volunteers send letters back from Santa as well
We might just have to go to war over this! haha!! Or at least have some kind of rap battle! ;-)
@@loners4life look up muscimol and you'll understand the flying reindeer.
So we are so small, which is why you gave us the ice cube display. and the Qube above the left top is what you think of us?.
Is this woman clinically..........?
How bagged milk works - m.ruclips.net/user/shortsnuJa3leKZS0
Happy Birthday. Only some provinces have bagged milk. Alberta stopped using bagged milk in the 80's. Our Thanksgiving has nothing to do with pilgrims, and is just a harvest celebration that started in the 1500's. Fun fact the Canadian Monarchy is the only Constitutional Monarchy in the Commonwealth that was first installed as a French Crown and not a British.
The stupid bagged milk makes another appearance 🤦♀️ we don’t have this out west. It’s only some parts of the country that has it.
You have to try Ketchup chips, they are the greatest
lol fun fact Canada is actually the most multicultural country in the world
Happy Birthday Linda
You are such a cute and funny couple.
New subscriber 🇬🇧
Thank you very much! 🙏🏻
NOOOOOO, not the f'ing milk in bags thing again? That is ONLY in freaking Ontario. Canadians are all white? Whoa, danger Will Robinson, that is a pretty dumb thing to say.
Bags are more environmentally friendly
Why........?.........
What’s wrong with ketchup chips? You dip fries in ketchup right?
Ketchup is disgusting" but they said it didn't taste like ketchup :)
Ketchup is tomatoes!
milk in bags is much more enviromentaly responsible. we are the 'great white north bc of all the ice and snow, including many glaciers, but def not bc of white people. not only do we have a very large first nations component, but because we welcome so many immigrants - and always have - we are one of the most multi-cultural nations on earth'. maybe it was just a very bad day, but my perception is that one of you should def not be doing this type of work/hobby. very critical and sarcastic, just giving off a lot of negative energy. it ruined the vid for me, so i had to downvote. sorry
How is it more environmentally friendly? You still need to manufacture all that plastic. To be truly conscious we should go back to glass bottles.
@@sadee1287 less energy and cost to manufacture and transport. if they DO end up in landfill, 20 bags takes up way less space than one carton or jug. also, many people wash the bags and re-use the for kitty litter or dog poop - just cut off the top of the bag completely. there are more reasons, but that's good for a start
I agree! Had the same impression ...
uhm, ive never seen anyone sane wear fucking shorts in the winter, from my point of view, thats just false xD
