Topic: My Milk Comes In a Bag
whispertoascream Joined Fri 11/17/06 Posts: 22844	Fri 05/23/08 09:39 AM
I have talked to a few friends from the states who think that this is weird. I find it normal. Is it really that odd though? I mean I think it is strange that in Mexico there soda comes in bags. What are some common products that are sold in differently in different countries do you find weird?

What are some common products that are sold in differently in different countries do you find weird? When I was in Spain....when you order milk...you have to specify that you want it cold.

The only milk I have seen in bags is in the restaurants. It is put into a machine and dispenses from there to the glass. Chili on candy has become more popular with the changes of nationalities. I have seen in the last couple of years fruit with chili on it. Papaya, mango and jicama. It all tatses good. I was worried at first; but, it was actually good. How do you store a bag of milk in the fridge? And how hard is it to pour? It used to come in glass bottles, then cartons, then plastic jugs, now it can be found in bottles again. Kat

A scorpion in a salt shaker.... Not a food product so much as a "novelty item" -- they make great stocking stingers -- uh, stuffers -- at Christmas....
