What the heck are milk-bags?
They're sealed plastic bags that
look like double D's. They contain milk and you can purchase them in
any grocery store in Israel and maybe elsewhere in the Middle East and
even Europe.
Yep, that's right, instead of a carton of milk, you can buy a bag of milk.

and I couldn't figure out why anyone would purchase a bag of milk. I
mean how would you store it? You would have to use it all at once. I
suggested that maybe it was pre-measured milk handy for some kind of
recipe that was often used.
David and I don't drink milk anyway.
We're the lactose intolerant sorts, so we remained merely curious.
Fortunately, Zach came by for a visit and answered our milk-bag
question. Apparently you can purchase a milk-bag jug for a few shekels
and put the bag in the jug, puncture a hole and pour yourself a glass of
milk kind of like wine in a carton. Since milk-bags are significantly
cheaper than milk in cartons it may be worth it for milk drinkers to buy
the jug and purchase their milk in bags. Mystery solved.
