    Googling "accordion jugs" turns up quite a few places that'll sell you a 2 gallon "Expandable Accordion Style Camp Water Jug" for $8 or so, if anyone wants to try the experiment.

    @urbanturban666:
    I would like to say that that is an unholy abomination. Milk in a bag, is a travesty, it is an affront to the natural order of things. Maybe in "Canada" this is normal, but for those of us here where we have always had milk in a bottle or jug or carton we know how milk is supposed to be contained. Next you will be telling me cheese ain't supposed to be yellow and come in individually wrapped slices.

    @urbanturban666: I bet nobody is laughing at you know... !

    You seem to be in your 20's... I'm 44, but ever since I was a kid, back in Argentina, we used 1 liter "sachets" (french: for small sac or bag). Mostly made of 100 ~ 200 mil poly bags... very tough to puncture.
    That's how milk is still sold back there.
    It's less impact on the environment, occupies A LOT less space in shipping (normally shipped to stores in 20 ~ 30 liter reusable plastic crates from the manufacturer) and a lot easier to pour milk out of.
    And the dispenser jug... back then they used to give them for free from the Milk producer... or you could buy your own.
    Here in the US, gallon jugs are too heavy, flimsy and a waste of plastic taking too much space in the recycle bin. And 1/2 gallon cartons... well, have you ever smelled the open end after 24 hrs...?

    'nuf said.

    @aec007: I'm in my late 20s (I'm finally admitting it now, but anonymously) and I recall bags of milk in school cafeterias (I'm American). You would poke a straw in the bag of milk and proceed to drink. I don't remember how long that lasted or if it still exists in school cafeterias.

    @lilyHaze: When I was in elementary school in Indiana for 6th grade, they had bagged milk. It scared and confused me, and inevitably the first day of this experienced ended with milk everywhere.

    I think I was scarred for life. Also, it tasted funny.

    On a related note, can someone explain to me why milk in France last so damn long? So when you buy it, its not in a fridge or dairy case. Its just sitting out at room temperature. And It lasts for months. Once you open it though you do have to drink it within a couple weeks though.

    @hiphopsuperman: It is probably irradiated with Xrays, which kills all the various germs and stuff that normally cause the milk to go bad eventually. (which is why it starts to go bad after a while after you open it)

    @hiphopsuperman: Hi, i'don't know how it works in the US, but the milk you are refering to is called UHT Milk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UHT). For us in France it represents 95% of the milk sold. It doesn't need refrigeration, but once opened you keep it in the fridge, and drink it in 4-5 days.
    There is no radiation, just high temps.
    From the Wikipedia article linked, i was surprised to learn that it was mainly a south western Europe thing.

    @Hiphopopotamus: It's been solved in this article: http://www.nytimes.com/1982/03/10/garden/freshness-of-milk-products.html?sec=health

    For those who hate to read, basically NYC has a stricter policy over fluid dairy products where they must be sold within 4 days in which there were pasteurized because in NYC, milk is likely to have been in a non-refrigerated environment for longer period of time (ie Delivered milk may not be picked up for several hours, the corner market may not have been open to accept the milk shipment etc)

    Anyone remember these from the early 90s? They were called Burples. If I remember rightly you would get them with some sort of Kool-aid type substance and I think maybe Little Ceasar's gave them away with pizzas as well.

    Or you could just buy the smaller sized milk in the grocery store and not waste your money on this stupid jug
