We’re out of milk.
Time to head to the grocery store. It’s only one kilometer. I can walk it. No sidewalks here. But it’s okay, they have a sign. [roadway noise]
Oh, I forgot to bring my earplugs. This concrete barrier is ugly as hell,
but at least I’m less likely to die. This is a really boring walk. I love the giant signs that are only
meant to be read while driving. Nice bench. Nobody will ever sit here. Now to cross some slip lanes… Need to wait here for
the advanced green for drivers. I’m not even allowed to cross halfway. And at the next crossing, there are
no cars at all for the advanced green, but theoretically there could be,
so I’m still not allowed to cross. One more slip lane… and we’ll just scurry through
the trees here like animals. [car alarm blares]
I hate car alarms. [car alarm blares]
Now to cross the parking lot, walk to the back of the grocery store, and I’ve got my bag of milk. That sucked. I think I’ll take a taxi home.

If there's one thing I've learned from making videos on YouTube, it's that mentioning a "bag of milk" gets lots of comment engagement. 📈

Videos like this show you how awful NA is
I’m with you that public transport for many cities suck and city design in general is horrible, but you bitch like a five year old entitled girl in many of your videos
Canada looks exactly like America
for a moment I thought I was listening to my dog's thoughts "I HATE car alarms!"
that's why american dads usally don't make it back home
But……. How do you get it out of the bag without it going everywhere
"A bag of milk"? A bag… Of MILK?!?!?!?!
Bag of milk?!!?
This walk appears soooo long because the scenery is soooo dull
Gotta love car-centric society…
What is this?
Eastern Canada looks like a hell scape
Milk is animal cruelty. Consider drinking delicious: almond, cashew, soy, oat milks. ❤️
It's so different in 🇮🇳
Here you'll find a shop every now and then (obviously not everywhere but mostly)
This is the first guy who came back from buying milk 💀
What the useless heck did I just watch
the concrete barrier is fine lookin imo
“Bag of milk” sounds worse than “tomato paste in a balloon.”
Wanting a bag of milk was your first mistake. Deciding to walk when you're such a whiner was your second.
US roads are depressing…
Bag of milk 🤯😱 what type of sorcery is this!?!
This is a really boring video.
a WHAT of milk ?
Bag of milk. Wtf is that even.
Bag of Milk? Is it trash?
People waiting for a light to tell them they're allowed to cross is hilarious 😂 there's no cars around just cross the damn street
What the frick, bag of milk, how do u drink milk without spilling an entire bag of milk or it gettin ripped apart by weight. Just use bottles instead like us brits or other people
We get it you hate cars and have a sexual attraction to bikes
This looks just like every stroad in The States
I’ve grown up with milk in bags my whole life so seeing people be so confused and questioning it just makes me laugh
Dude should try walking through a street in India (or any South Asian country) ….
I legit thought this was in the USA until I saw that it was in Canada. It honestly amuses me how most Canadians go out of their way to prove or act in a way that differentiates themselves from Americans, but honestly, what is the difference really? Canadians even copy the rubbish city planning of the USA in detail. I have family in Canada and honestly, I really like them, but they always try to prove how different they are to Americans, but when I see them in their everyday lives, it is so Americanized.
Lol, bags are for gas. ⛽
I am so blessed to be in Germany, basically almost anywhere in Europe…
Perfect demonstration!
Are they making central London, ON walkable/bikeable at least?
So that's why most of internet users' dads can't come back home with the milk
Love this. Shows you just how much cars have priority over people.
