Bought one of those by accident at Lowes.
Returned it the next day for the same reason.
Who ever thought that was a good idea?

I know right? But... Unfortunately, sometimes it's necessary… On a commercial construction site you are scaling the plans in metric, but doing the physical work in Imperial. It's a nightmare…

I think it was in forth grade for me back in the mid-seventies that I was introduced to and taught the metric system here in the US. I recall the teacher saying that it was going to be the 'new' system of measurements that we were going to be using, and I also recall thinking at the time how much sense that it really does make. I think that it is easier, but it is certainly not easier when there are two systems in place, and after that year, that's the last I heard of it in school.
My mother was born in Canada though, and we spent a good part of our summers there during that time, so if nothing else, I pretty much understood how much pop I was about to drink while sitting on the chesterfield with a serviette on my lap... I still love Canada!!

OK, I'll be the pink elephant in the room, what is a "4L bag of milk"? I'll understand if you are converting liquid to powder.
[emoji38] I knew someone would bite on that one!!
That's how we buy milk in Canada... no jugs... bags!
You get three of these in it!

LOL I still get a kick out of us being known for milk bags... you get used to what you get used to and I've never known anything else!
Yes... you buy a pitcher once to put the bags in. And then you drink directly out of the bag and annoy your kids and then have to finish the whole bag because they won't touch it any more.

OK, I'll bite, are the pitchers sealed? Doesn't milk absorb the flavors around it?
You mean after you snip the corner off the bag? No... once you snip the corner off, nothing seals it while it sits in the fridge.
You know, in my entire life I've never thought of that! No, I doesn't absorb smell or taste of anything, and it doesn't go bad... but yes the bag is open.
You've just singlehandedly thrown my entire milk drinking experience into turmoil.

Bags are mainly used in the uncivilized areas of Canada
Plastic jugs are common around here. When we get a chance we pop over the border to get milk for 1/2 the price we pay locally. Also fill up with gas at almost half the price too.

Sorry, us barbarians require a jug with a cap...
Kind of like our Bourbon!
I've lived in Ottawa all my life... Capital of the Country... Federal government city...
So ya, I guess I can't really argue the uncivilized part. [emoji848]
