I spent 3 months in an economy built around milk bags (Uruguay) and when you come from a tetrapak/carton or bottle economy, it's deeply confusing.
"What's this stupid oval plastic jug for?" (Throws it back in cupboard) - a week later people are laughing at me failing either to pour from floppy milk sacs or understand their hilarity.
(if you've never seen one, its typically a perforated, lightweight rigid former, which holds the sac. The idea is that when you snip one corner of the sac of milk, it naturally forms a spout, and this shape is just to hold the bag rigidly so you can grasp it to pour, without milk spurting everywhere as the bag looses rigidity. Without knowing what it is, it looks like a bizarre local colander or childs toy of no clear purpose or utility. And, they don't necessarily live in the chiller cabinet with the milk, so "how do you know")
It didn't help the rental flat had no sink plug. Dictionary "tapon" was met with hilarity by every check out counter lady I spoke to.. "plug" having many colloquial meanings. I made one out of a rubber sanding disk fitting for the sink, nothing else over the counter fitted.
Milk and yoghurt and cream. All flow production well suited to this bagging (heat sealed top and bottom, filling a tube off a roll. Interesting Q: how do you get the milk into this tube?)
