A Year in Uruguay

Milk packaging in Uruguay is very different from what we're used to in the U.S. Instead of bottles or cartons, milk comes in a plastic baggie. This works fine in the store, but once the bag is opened, you need a different system. So, you need to buy a little pitcher that holds the bag and allows you to store it in the fridge and lets you pour it. The system works well, once you have both components.

Sizes are smaller too. Instead of the gallon we'd typically buy in Michigan, the bag holds a liter.
