Three polythene sacks each containing 1-1/3 L are packed in another polythene sack, thus making 4 L. Foood stores Because when you put 'em in the trunk and take them home, and it's winter, your windshield scraper or your shovel or your chains poke a hole in the bag, and then you have milk all inside your trunk. We have been buying milk in three 1 1/3 L bags for
years. NEVER had an accident in the trunk.

What does the milk get put in, once you get it home? I've wondered that, seeing the bags of milk at Sobey's and Costco and Maxi and other stores. We have a firm jug, complete with a handle, into which the 1 1/3 L bag
slides. We, then, cut off a corner of about 1 cm for pouring. Works
great!
