Bagged milk isn’t common in Edmonton, 4L jugs just like this are ubiquitous in Alberta. That’s more of a BC+Ontario+Quebec thing. I can’t remember if the Maritimes do it now.
That being said, I’m not sure if you could store vodka in a bag, with booze being so controlled. I suppose boxed wine is a bag inside.
I have a vague memory of seeing bagged Island Farms milk in one grocery store on Vancouver Island but it would’ve been over 20 years ago. I only ever knew one family that bought it, and they were complete weirdos across the board.
Ah yes, Toronto, Canada’s largest and only city. /s
Good to know. I’m guessing the information I had about BC was from the late 80’s, but it’s possible it was just that guy’s specific family. I’ll have to ask older people I know if it was ever a thing here.
I just used kagi to search for the conversion, and thought the long decimal was funny.
But now that I think of it, does Canada make it’s own 4 L jugs so they can be accurately advertised or do they just use the US 1 gal jugs and call it a 4 L out of convenience but then write in fine print on the bottom that it’s actually 3.79 L?
Unless that is actually a 4L jug of vodka, couldn’t someone sue for misrepresenting the amount of product being sold?
Someone’s liquid here is probably not precise. And I’m going to guess it’s the one claiming to be a larger volume with an additional manufacturing cost.
Just wanted to clarify something here about Canadians… So you put your milk in bags but your vodka goes into milk jugs?

I haven’t seen bagged milk in BC either
Oh, maybe not then. I only know it was available out there at some point.

In the last 30+ years it’s only really common in Ontario.
Back in the late 70s it was tested across the country, but only for a few years.
But, apparently, what happens in Toronto means that it must be normal in the entire country, according to the rest of the world…

you buy milk 4 L at a time?
No…that would be insane. 1 US gallon is only 3.78541178 liters.
surely your milk can’t be that precise
