. Alas, I can not. The design, IMO, is therefore fundamentally floored. I can not for the life in me understand why you can't just pour it in a certain jug and use it.
I don't have a PhD Engineering like you but since I am Canadian I have been using milk bags since as long as I remember.
The 'trick' is cutting the plastic bag properly after you insert it into the jug. If you cut a big triangle, then milk will pour out all over the place and fail. If you cut it too tiny, then its difficult to pour. My suggestion is to start by cutting tiny and then if it is not sufficient, then you can always cut it a little bigger.0 -

The point is that you don't cut it. You place the bag in the jug as it is, pull one corner tightly over the front edge which is then fixed in place by a little 'thing' that flips over, close the lid which incorporates the pouring spout with a point on the bottom which pierces the bag as you close the top down.0 -
Yeah, sounds like the Canadians have something different. Jug-its have this funnel that pierces the bag and the milk then flows out the funnel when you tip it (in theory anyway)

To be fair my wife did it. I've since turned the bag round, done the other side and it works fine. * embarrassed*I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

i think the secret to these is to make sure that you get the top of the milk bag good and taught between the holder so that the spike punctures the bag easily, I have really got used to these bags now and quite like the jug0
