Whhaaa...? How does that work?
I'm not sure where the difficulty lies.
You take milk. You take a plastic bag. You put the milk into the plastic bag.
(I'm not being sarcastic here, I'm genuinely flummoxed at where the conceptual problem is.)
But it's liquid in plastic bag. It can easily get squashed coming back from the shop, and how on earth do you pour it from a plastic bag without it going everywhere? There's no stability
For the first problem, you use thicker grades of plastic. If you tried to tear one of these plastic milk bags by hand you'd be ... well ... it's hard, just trust me. (Hell, they're even marginally knife-resistant. Don't ask me how I found out.)
For the second problem there are special holders custom shaped to put the bags in. Maybe a picture will help.
Wait until you find out that craft beer in China is sold in bags too.
Maybe a ~~picture~~ pitcher will help.
Missed an opportunity there.
What? And remove the joy of people making that pun themselves? Nah. It's more fun letting other people have fun!
Crikey how clever! Thanks for sharing
No troubles, mate.
They take a cow, put it in a plastic bag, mush it around a bit, and then pull out the cow. Instant bagged milk.
British. We are very serious about queuing and audibly gasp if someone jumps the queue. I'm not joking.
Just got off the plane in New York. They are not good at queueing here lol. Wait to let people off the train!
Oh the humanity!
Finns as well. You could probably take a friend and form a 2 person queue on the sidewalk and after a while you'll have other people joining the queue too. Add free plastic buckets and the queue goes around the block.
Kiss people on both cheeks as a greeting! Though even as an Italian I will say I never really liked it lol
As an English I am horrified at the idea
Understandable! I lived in the UK for a few years and will say I really appreciated how mindful everyone was of personal space there!
As an Asian that makes me squeamish lol
Some people do that here too, and I refuse to uphold that traditional way of doing things. Especially since it's gendered
My Dutch family does this but it's more air kisses than a peck on the cheeks.
I don't even like it when people greet me with a hug but this sounds absolutely horrible.
Take something perfectly edible, like say an egg, and cover it in a coating made of mixed clay, wood ash, salt, and quicklime, rolling it in rice hulls and then letting it sit for weeks to months before, you know, eating it.
Yes I've heard of this! How did that ever become a thing?
There are a few stories about it, but the most plausible one is that an alkaline lake dried up and someone found an egg (or maybe a batch of eggs) in it and decided to eat it.
Ahhhhh. Desperate times...
Yeah, pretty much.
Go to a house maintenance store for a sausage sizzle for breakie
I've heard that drinking milk during meals is weird to some people.
Is it common where you're from?
In Finland, yeah. I believe Finns also have below average amount of lactose intolerance. Ability to drink milk is how our ancestors survived over the winter.
Ahhhhh
Drive trucks to the capital, honk horns, soak in hot tubs and wave American flags to protest their lack of "freedoms"
Oh. I see we have a Canuckistani in our midst here.
Yeah, the "freedom convoy" was one of those more bizarre things in recent Canadian history. (Funded by Americans, of course, because every right wing grift in Canada is funded by Americans.)
They put apple sauce in their pasta.
This... And not all Switzerland agrees.
The German speaking part add the apple sauce. The French speaking part wonder who hurt them in their youth. The Italian speaking part hesitate between throwing holy water and burn the whole house down.
Crikey where is this?
Switzerland.
It's certainly interesting
