Pretty much for all liquids, IMO. You just can't beat milk from the glass or Coke in an 8 oz. bottle.

Coke in an 8 oz. bottle.
Yes. I dont know if its partly psychological or what, but Coke from a can doesnt taste like Coke from a glass bottle at all.
Thanks for that giggle.
I was thinking to myself that while I hadn't personally seen/ consumed liquid in a bag, it didn't seem all that odd to me. But thanks for pointing out Capri Suns, totally forgot about those. So yeah, guess I have had liquid from a bag.And Coke in a glass (often, but not always) uses sugar cane instead of high-fructose corn syrup like the typical plastic bottle/ alum can Coke. I thiiink, sure someone more in the know will correct me.
The thing about our northern neighbor is, the further up you go, the weirder it gets. In the northern half of Canada, they sell orange juice, Pepsi and Budweiser in a bag.
Even a glass of Zinfandel in a classy restaurant comes in a one-serving zip-lock.
(Okay, I'm making this up....)

I miss milk in a bag.
The only thing I don't miss is having to clean out the milk that spills into the bottom of the plastic container that holds the bag. It's a little smelly and gross.

Milk in a bag? :O
Not that I'm super surprise, but it's something I've never really heard of before. Huh, how about that.
I know exactly what you mean. For the past few months a few local supermarkets have been importing bottled Coke from Mexico. It is way better and tastes very different from cans and plastic bottles. I do not know if the formula is different, if the plastic/aluminum affects the taste, or if itsa just psychological, but damn is it good.

That was more for those who said they never saw milk in anything but bottles.
Okay, you wanna hear something else weird?
I'm old enough that when I was little, we still had the milkman come visit. Yup, the actual guy who drove a truck and made deliveries like a mail carrier, except that he brought milk.
In cartoons when you see this, the bottles are usually placed beside the front door of the house. But the house we lived in had a milk chute, a little door cut into the side of the outside kitchen wall. This was, of course, on the back side of the house, so the milkman would have to walk there. He'd come, as I recall, two or three times a week.
The chute itself was just big enough to accommodate two or three cartons or bottles. And because it was so small, there was no knob or lock, just a little swivel catch to keep it closed. Just think how nice and well-insulated that must be in the winter time.
I know that probably places me about the time period of Laurel & Hardy, but I'm not that old, I'm just middle aged, so it wasn't that long ago. But they did phase out milk delivery when I was pretty young, probably about eight or so.

We had ours delivered from the milking parlour across the farmyard in a small steel churn.
It was decanted into proper milk jugs
and put in the fridge to cool.
By the morning, there was a good half-inch of solid cream on top.
Jersey cows rule.
Beats a plastic bag any day.

Juice in a bag DOES exist in Québec...
But it's not real juice, it's very very cheap punch. I can't tell if it still exists but it once did.

My milkman comes on Wednesdays and Saturdays. He also brings the butter. It still exists, and I'm in a fairly urban area. No chute in back though, we settle for a tin box on the front porch.
We used to have a milkman, when I was younger. For some reason, he just stopped coming around the neighbourhood. I guess it was just something that got phased out, although I'm not sure why. And this is only about 10 years ago, so maybe it's just your area, or different on either side of the atlantic... I dunno
I think milk bags are the one thing the internet's ever really taught me about.
My cousin's family still gets milk delivered. They live in the middle of absolutely nowhere though, so they tend to place bulk orders in the winter and freeze it incase bad weather befalls their milkman.
I find having to freeze milk even odder than milk bags, but there you go.
