I'm pretty sure they have paper carton / plastic jug ones in BC. Oh I miss these... It is practically impossible to keep the milk fresh after the bag is opened.

  I used to live in central Canada. The milk in bags with the corner snipped stay fresh for about a week. In a 4L bag, there are usually 4 1L bags. It doesn't take a week to get through 1L. If one is obsessed with absolute freshness, one can attach a clip to the snipped corner, but I don't know anyone who does this.

    > It doesn't take a week to get through 1L. For us it does, though, it was always a problem for me when I lived in Canada. Here in the EU my UHT milk can stay open in my fridge for several weeks and still be good. I also prefer the taste compared to pasteurizer milk, since that point will inevitably be brought up by people who always find the milk they are used to to be the only good milk that exists. I prefer UHT because it tastes closer to raw milk.

      Well, 1 glass = 250ml, so 1L is 4 glasses. That's really not a lot. Milk in bags probably last more than a week (the opening is very small so there's not a lot of air that gets in), but I've never not finished milk in under a week so I can't say.

        I've never met anyone who drinks 250 mL glasses of milk, though. I put maybe about 10 mL in my coffee once a day, and need 500 mL or 750 mL when baking crêpes. Sometimes in cereals but that's not very often.

  If you pull up on the opened corner and then squeeze it shut with your fingers, it will stay closed until you pour from it again.
