    For the record, as someone who lives in eastern Canada, we have cardboard milk cartons here too (in addition to the bags).

    I've seen plastic jugs occasionally as well but they're not as common.

    We also have UHT milk in cardboard containers, my mom likes to keep some around for "emergencies" (which mostly just means someone forgetting to buy normal milk).

    cardboard milk cartons.
    cardboard is for half-n-half damn it

    Like I said, I didn't even realize UHT milk was a thing before my family started getting it from the food pantry...

    You see little plastic pots of it in cafés sometimes, my old school canteen had them

    weird stuff

    I learned about it from Father Ted.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i first learned about UHT in food tech class, iirc

    It occurs to me that the milk they have sitting around in little pitchers at room temperature at the campus coffee shops is probably UHT, though I never use that since I put half-and-half in my coffee

    what's half-and-half?
  • lemonade and iced tea mixed together and sold in the same unit.

    Half milk, half cream.

    Do they call that half-and-half in Pennsylvania? I always heard it called an Arnold Palmer.
  • Arnold Palmer is the brand name but there are other companies that sell half-n-half.

    Where I live people call it "Arnold Palmer" regardless of brand name, the same way we use genericized trademarks like "Band-Aid" or "Popsicle".
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    so uh what do they call half-and-half in Pennsylvania

    half-and-half.

    "shelf-stable milk" that comes in a box and doesn't need refrigerated

    im really concerned

    Parmalat can literally sit in your closet for months until you open it, at which point you kind of have to refrigerate it. It's thicker than regular milk and a lot more... concentrated, I guess? Tasty, though, and good for cooking if used judiciously. I think it started as a French WWII war ration.

    It's time I read some of Roald Dahl's stuff aimed at grownups

    I have a book on reserve at the library; might pick it up tomorrow

    His short fiction is entertaining and morbid.
  • kill living beings
    I don't think I've ever bought ultra milk, since I go through milk so fast I never have it go bad

    I could get some for similar Emergencies though... But I dun wanna replace it every few months

    being Literally Crazy isn't as cool and fun as fiction makes it out to be

    i want a refund
  • kill living beings
    "In June 1993, Parmalat introduced its UHT milk to the United States.[13] In the American market, consumers are uneasy about consuming milk that is not delivered under refrigeration, and reluctant to buy it. To combat this, Parmalat is selling its UHT milk in old-fashioned containers, unnecessarily sold from the refrigerator aisle.[5]" lol
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    My family's been buying it in the old box cartons for ever, though... :/
  • Where I live people call it "Arnold Palmer" regardless of brand name, the same way we use genericized trademarks like "Band-Aid" or "Popsicle".


    this also applies at home, with the stipulation of maybe possibly being "half tea-half lemonade" depending on the context.

    Like, as much as I would love to be able to trust my Cook Out server to be able to get me exactly what I want at the order mic when I ask for an Arnold Palmer, him and I both know the chances of that actually happening are slim to none.

  • Soy milk is usually sold in opaque cartons


    So I have no bloody clue what most of you are on about

    I'm not limited by as many dietary restrictions as you are, but I still prefer soy milk over cow's.

    I was raised on it and rice milk so when I had regular milk for the first time it tasted too foreign for me
  • kill living beings
    Y'all need to join the next stage of evolution and not ruin your lactase
  • Nah, my lactase is good bruh

    I like milk in other things, I just can't have it on its own (like, in my coffee or as cheese is okay, but not in a glass or with cereal).

    Chocolate milk is also good.
  • I like milk but it tears me the fuck apart
  • meow meow meowtherfuckers
    Milk cartons just make me think of school lunch in high school. Who decides that kids should be served up food like pizza or a burger and thinks "Hey you know what would go great with this? Milk."

    soft drinks are unhealthy and everything else is expensive

    So, um, I'mma play Fallout 3 on my friend's account today.  I think I'm gonna like it, I mean, I liked New Vegas, and SA doesn't seem to like Fallout 3, but I usually disagree with that website.

    Having read the reasons for why SA doesn't like it, they're none of the things that you'd be concerned with.

    I'll admit to having a huge bias for New Vegas, because it is my only (and my first) Fallout game, and Honest Hearts is one of my top eight favorite games ever (an antidote to Stone and Parker's play, just when I needed it the most).

    Caesar's Legion kinda stinks as a villain faction, though.  They're fun to explode, but not really all that interesting.
