Who Knew?


Now there are a few things that are different here in Kingston, the weather, the way they do insurance, minimum wage ($10.25!), etc. BUT, what I was not expecting is the experience we had in the grocery store! I went to go grab milk like usual, and noticed something very strange, there were NO 4 litre jugs! After the 2 litre cartons, all the milk was in BAGS?! If you want more than 2 litres, you have to buy a bag of milk! In this bag, are little bags that fit into special jugs just for milk bags! I thought it was strange myself and when I mentioned it to Carl, he thought it was even stranger! So we took the risk of looking like idiots and mentioned it to our friends...They were totally thrown off by this too! So much so, that they had even asked the people at the grocery store about it! They found out that the only place to get a 4 litre jug of milk here is at Mac's convenience store and it's Mac's brand of milk, "Mac's Milk". We still haven't discovered why the bags over jugs, but when we do find out, we'll let you know!

  2. Bags are the best, don't knock it. If you leave one bag out by accident you still have 2 more fresh and waiting.

  3. I thought that was the funniest thing too when I went to ON! We had bags of milk when we were really little... but BC evolved!! Too funny :)
