How Can Cockroaches Survive Nuclear Attacks If They Can Be Killed By Insecticide? - Mental Floss

Take a walk through any Ontario-area grocery store and you'll see something a little unusual: shoppers hefting an item into their cart that looks like a plastic package of diapers, weighs roughly nine pounds, and requires some minor effort to enjoy.

It's a large, tasty bag of milk.

Actually, it's three medium-sized bladders of milk, packaged together in one large sack. At home, the milk is placed in a pitcher and one corner of the polyethylene plastic is snipped off with scissors for pouring. (Some Canadians snip a second, smaller hole to let air out.) Because it's not fully sealed, the milk needs to be enjoyed relatively quickly.

For dairy enthusiasts used to the convenience of a resealable container, all of this might seem unnecessary—yet at least 75 percent of all milk sold in Ontario comes in this unique delivery system. The bags of milk can also be found in Quebec and the Maritimes.

Why? Thank the metric system.

By the late 1960s, glass bottles were still being used for milk, but officials knew they were causing a considerable amount of waste and expense: The heavy bottles were a pain to transport and broke easily. A few years later, Canada was busy converting to the metric system, requiring liquids to be sold in liters. Manufacturing plants producing plastic jugs or cartons (which had debuted around 1915) found that their machines would have to be dramatically altered to allow their containers to be re-sized to meet the new requirements. But the process for injecting milk into plastic bags, which were introduced by DuPont in the late 1960s [PDF], needed only minor tweaks. The bags also produced less packaging waste, since they require less plastic to hold the same amount of milk. Suddenly, pouring milk into giant, floppy sacks seemed like the most obvious thing in the world.

By the early 1980s, the metric system was fully adopted in Canada; in 1978, 4-liter packages of milk became the norm in Ontario [PDF]. Buying bagged became habitual for shoppers, who realized that some of the perceived drawbacks were actually beneficial. Sure, the milk could lose its freshness quickly, but because the packaging was broken up into three bags, there was always a new one to open; unused bags could be stored horizontally in refrigerators in spots where a tall jug wouldn't fit.

While the unusual packaging confuses even Canadians in other parts of the country, it's slowly been gaining support in other parts of the world. UK-based Sainsbury's rolled out two-pint bags around 2010, offering a free pitcher as an incentive for people to make the switch and cut down on waste. Some schools, like Golden Hills Elementary near Omaha, Nebraska, let kids sip from tiny, Capri Sun-esque milk pouches. You can also find them in South Africa, Hungary, and China, which also happens to traffic in bagged beer.

Not planning on traveling outside the country? Try hitting up a Kwik Trip or Kwik Star convenience store, where locations in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa sell bagged milk by the half-gallon. Though they caution first-timers might need to get used to the pouring technique—there's apparently a learning curve—they promise customers "will grow to appreciate" the lactose customs of other parts of the world.

What Amazon Did This Week - Forbes

#WADTW is the regular post that looks at everyone's favorite behemoth, Amazon, from a variety of angles from specific moves, acquisitions, fringe/subsidiary activities, new patents, partnerships and beyond over the last seven days. The aim? Be your one-stop-shop on Amazon every Sunday. Did I miss something? Email or drop me a line via Twitter

NUTSHELL: A very busy week for everyone's favourite cardboard abuser. Multiple new product launches and a huge announcement for small-medium sized businesses. Amazon is looking more and more like the technology company of the people and not just a luxury brand like Apple. The microwave play at the Seattle mega-announcement was an interesting one - essentially saying that Amazon could (or will?!) have an Amazon version of every appliance in the home but also a large nod to manufacturers to get on the bus to the Alexa-ville. A chilling reminder of the power, this beast wields now (and in the future). Ask Sonos, their stock dropped to its lowest point in five years on the news of the Amazon's new range of speakers. The smart plug is a very interesting (and smart) move indeed - essentially this threatens a lot of companies by pushing more into the Alexa ecosystem.

The aim? Be your one-stop-shop on Amazon every Sunday. Did I miss something? Email or drop me a line via Twitter

NUTSHELL: A somewhat quiet week for Amazon (compared to previous weeks). The major story was the $2 billion fund that Bezos promised to launch for the education of disadvantaged young people. The "Bezos Day One Fund" will focus on two areas: helping "existing nonprofits that help homeless families" and funding "a network of new, nonprofit, tier-one preschools in low-income communities. Far less than other Billionaires but nothing to sniff at. More speculation around the next HQ circulated (to no avail) and the same reputation issues from previous weeks repeated but with smaller news cycles. David J Carr's 'Map of Amazon and Modern Marketing' is a must-read for any marketer or business lead interested in Amazon.

Amazon has almost put $5billion into India to chase off Walmart competitor. /// SOUQ launched an Amazon store with over 1 million products. /// Amazon will sell Christmas trees this year in the US. /// Amazon has created a $10 billion business supplies business. /// Amazon is now in the oil business. /// Amazon is seeking new products from Sellers. /// Party City has created an Amazon store for Halloween. ///

TECH (Alexa, Dash, AWS, Kindle...)

Microsoft is coming for Amazon's biggest growth area (AWS). /// Mapillary is partnering with Amazon and using the controversial 'Rekognition' to solve urban parking. ///

MISCELLANEOUS (Pharma, Space...)

More speculation around Amazon entering the Cryptocurrency world (nothing imminent). /// Amazon may have their own version of Coke's 'Sugar Tax' if the 'Cardboard Tax' becomes a reality in the UK. /// Amazon will headline a major air force conference. /// Amazon has enabled voice donations for Hurricane Florence. /// Amazon has said it will announce where the next $5bn HQ will be by the end of 2018. ///
