Random Canada facts regarding milk in bags.
Milk in bags is mostly an Ontario and Quebec thing as far as I know, it's not common in the prairie provinces.
You tend to have a certain pitcher for the milk in a bag, it holds the bag upright, you snip the corner of the bag and then pour it out of the hole.
You typically don't reseal the bag, but we did use a chip clip for a while (before we just moved back to jugs because it's more convenient and easier and cleaner to close a lid). When I was a kid, the milk just sits there open in the fridge, and yes it does go sour faster that way.
The bag uses significantly less material than the jug because the bag isn't a rigid structure that has to maintain its shape.
Milk in bags is typically less expensive than milk in jugs, last time I compared it was about a dollar less.

It used to be a thing in BC twentish years ago but no more
@sj_zero It's not particularly less expensive now, the difference is negligible. I can't stand bagged milk anymore, but there are only like 2 or 3 places around here (Ontario) where I can get jugs. These days I don't drink alot of actual milk, I mostly add half and half to things like protein shakes rather than plain milk.
