Wait... has no one created a pitcher with a hinged cover or a clip that attaches the corner to the pitcher's handle to make sure there's no possibility of the bag falling out?Originally Posted by Roikins
That's like asking why clothes hangars don't have locks on them to keep them from falling off the bar spontaneously. It never happens. You can drink milk straight from the bag, almost inverting the container, and it will not fall out. I know this from experience.

Well, I'd only ask if anyone had invented hanger locks if people had said their clothes have almost slid off the hanger spontaneously or have to carefully hang their clothes on the hanger to ensure they don't slip off. I've read some comments on here and on other youtube vids of the milk bag that some people have had the bag collapse and slip out.

No bagged milk in Western Canada. Jugs and cartons only. I actually met the guy who introduced the plastic jugs to the west. If it wasn't a business meeting I would have punched him, since the plastic jugs completely ruin the taste.

That is strange. Not what I expected to see.
When I was a kid in the 90's I spent some vacations visiting relatives in Mexico. Soda there was only sold in glass bottles which were reused, so you had to bring in an empty bottle for each full one you took with you. Or, for us kids, they'd pour it into a plastic bag and knot it with a straw so you could leave the bottle there. And there would always be men standing outside stores drinking beer so they could leave their empties.

Your story reminds of when i ordered cane juice in at a Singapore stall and they put it in a plastic bag. I told them i wanted it in a cup so they charged me 10 cents extra.
This milk in a bag seems bizzare to me. Glass bottles are the way to go. Everything tastes better in glass.

That's why I commented on his technique. You seat the bag by cracking it against the heel of one hand, or even just drop the container on the table once or twice. As with most things, operator error makes people think designs are faulty

We need to find a way to reduce that by reducing the number of operators.
