"Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years," says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. "Actually, it's gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015."

While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it's actually not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it's more cost efficient and some even believe it tastes better.

Bagged milk was available in MB in the late 80s/early 90s, but it disappeared some time after that.

Exactly. I'm not sure what metaphor fits best. If there isn't one, it's an odd combination of "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" and "chicken and the egg".

They can't claim there's no demand for it if it isn't on the shelves in the first place.

Times change, the customer is always right in matters of taste, etc.
