This is only at 500 stores. I assume the larger superstores. Also the bags at 2pint not 4pint.

I hope the bags are tough, they wouldnt make it to the car with my rabble, let alone home and into the fridge.

The bags are tough. They are gone through a lot of testing apparently. I've only had 4 come to my till split open since we started selling them.

Ive used the jug and milk bags before and they are fine, very strong and you do get every drop out of bag. Only problem is that I tried to be crafty and fill the jug with some other milk (my kids find it easier to pour from the jug than a carton/bottle) but Sainsburys very clever as jug will only work with the milk bags, cant re-fill with just milk as a hole and goes everywhere! Hope this makes sense!

I've always wondered why they didn't use the bags here in the UK. We've been using them in Canada for years!

I quite like these and reusable

Check the flip up hinge of the jug (where the milk pours from) carefully when you get it. The first one I had was already cracked and didn't look like it would last long. Exchanged it for a better looking one.

Is there a list of the participating stores?

I've just had my first leaking bag from the total of about six bought so far, so hardly a great 'leak ratio'. Was putting it on the checkout conveyer belt and it was coming out through a very small puncture in the side that must have somehow happened when it was in the trolley. I did have my doubts initially about the durability of these despite what I'd heard, and sadly I fear I may be being proved right. I think the only thing to do when buying them is to treat them in the same way you would with boxes of eggs i.e. use extra care and always keep them at the top of the trolley away from sharp stuff. Sadly the potential for catastrophe when these leak is higher than with egg boxes due to the obviously runnier nature of milk than eggs, and also the fact that there is two litres of it. My Dad once had a milk carton break in the boot of his car, and it took forever to finally get rid of the smell from the carpets. I'll carry on using them for now, but my enthusiasm in waning.

I work in a supermarket and you'd be suprised how many normal containers of milk leak.
I don't think there would be much difference
