Using a Milk Bag for the First Time!

If you haven't seen this yet. watch it. lol


 Wait!!! That’s a real thing? I thought Homer was kidding. I’d be like the lady in that video 🤣🤣


 It's an Ontario thing. 


 Remember when they changed the size of the bags and everyone had to scramble to buy new jugs?  Ah... memories


 yeah, went from something like 3L total (3 bags) to 4L (still 3 bags). 4L is a gallon.

Just saw a commercial and Mark Stone was in it and still can’t believe all that got was a small Dman and not even a top draft pick for him.

I was so confused when I moved to Alberta and they didn't have bagged milk.  But it made my milk jug a fun party game of "can anyone guess what the purpose of this is?"


 Or can you guess what the purpose of this is and what it's called (without reading it on it)

Is Real estate crazy up you’re way? All of you if u aren’t in Ottawa. I know SoCal is crazy high


 Crazy. Worse than lumber.


 We had to buy plywood for our garage and the contractor had one heck of a time even finding it


Saw a comment on reddit, I think, regarding the poor jobs numbers for April..."a 2x4 is $8, can you imagine working an hour at minimum wage to buy ONE 2x4?!"


 You guys still have $8/hour minimum wage?  geez


Federal minimum wage is $7.25, HCOL areas are closer to $10 with some cities at $15.


 Wow.  Minimum wage is set provincially here.  Lowest is Saskatchewan at $11.45, highest is Nunavut at $16.00, but they don't really count because of their size and location.... so highest of the major locations is Alberta at $15


Lol, yeah, Nunavut doesn't count. And don't forget the ~20% premium between USD and CAD.


 oh for sure, and cost of living is significantly lower there.  We pay a premium for basically everything up here.


 True.  Our bags of milk are more expensive than your bags of milk.  lol

 I’m sure you know the jobs numbers are poor because of unemployment payments that are extended till September. It’s a pay cut to go to work for lots of people 


Not really. At least not directly. The vast majority of unemployed people aren't just saying, "F it, not gettin' a job and you can't make me!" People can afford to be more choosey, a large number of the open positions are hospitality and there just aren't as many available hospitality workers because they moved on to other jobs when they were furloughed and they're not eager to return to an industry that can literally evaporate overnight, people are still concerned about the safety of going back to high-occupancy workplaces, childcare is still an issue because schools and daycares aren't back to pre-pandemic capacity.

I'm sure there are more than a few shortsighted people who will ride the UI payments and then panic because "they didn't know" it was ending but it's not all "I can make more money watching The Price is Right."


 Those are great points - especially child care and hospitality workers

 i heard that a ton of people left Cali when they lost their jobs cuz it so expensive, and its hard to find staff now for places re-opening. 


I know more people taking their CA WFH paychecks to lower COL areas and more people leaving because of the "socialist" governor than people leaving *just* because it's expensive.
