Milk bags are plastic bags that hold milk. They are usually stored in a pitcher with one of the corners cut off to allow for pouring. A typical milk bag contains 1 litre (0.219 Imperial gallon; 0.264 U.S. liquid gallon) of milk and is often purchased in bundles of two, three, or four.
Milk bags are common in several countries and regions of the world, including Argentina, eastern Canada, Nicaragua, China, Colombia, Hungary, India, Israel, Montenegro, Poland, South Africa, and Uruguay. They were also common in Bulgaria and other Balkan countries during the Soviet bloc period, but their popularity diminished in subsequent years. Declining popularity in this region is attributed to the lower shelf appeal of the milk bags compared to others emerging at the time such as Tetra Pak and plastic bottles.[citation needed] A resurgence of milk bags is beginning in Britain amid concerns that plastic bottles aren't being recycled.
