I recall the first time I saw these as a kid when visiting my mother in Alberta. I hated them then and I'm not sure it's changed since then. Haven't seen them in BC.

Having lived in Alberta since 2001 and never seeing it there, when was that?

I did grow up with them in Ontario though.

I like to say a little before that time but it was in the early 80s

We had this in Switzerland for a while, but it wasn't very popular.

Milk used to be sold like this in Czechoslovakia too. Not sure about other Eastern Bloc countries.

In Austria too, in the 70s and 80s I believe

San Francisco used bagged milk instead of cartons at least during the late 90s and early 00s. For obvious reasons, I have no idea if that's still the case.

Yeah, we all remember the great sinking of SF in 2013. Such a tragedy. Unaware folk still try to cross the golden gate bridge southbound just to drown. Google really should fix that. You can see the very peak of the transamerica building in the new bay. But it did a booming housing business for palo alto and oakland.

Or were you referring to the gay penis milking movement of '06? That was a fun time, indeed...
