This is how milk is sold here. I've never noticed any milk in the refrig. section. Never really looked for it either. Just noticed there's a entire aisle with milk in boxes, not cooled, in every store. 1L "Tetra Brik" is the norm. This, like many things, was difficult to get used to- sort of a mini culture sock at times.
