9 Celebs Who Had The Most Absurd Reactions To Canada's Bagged Milk — Because Yep, Americans Know Nothing About Canada

9 Celebs Who Had The Most Absurd Reactions To Canada's Bagged Milk — Because Yep, Americans Know Nothing About Canada

Buzz Feed16-04-2025

Up here in Canada, we do a lot of...unique...things that seem to confuse the rest of the world. Like, I don't think anyone truly understands how to use the word "eh" correctly, even though it's very obvious to all of us Canadians.
And another huge thing that's normal in Western Canada, but nonexistent almost everywhere else in the world? BAGGED MILK. Yep, you heard me right. MILK IN A BAG.
So over the past year, we've been conducting an *experiment of sorts* over here at BuzzFeed Canada, to answer some vital questions. Can our favourite celebrities figure out how to pour bagged milk properly? And what are their general reactions to it?
Today, we're gonna present alllll our fun results — which we've also been uploading on TikTok, in a series we like to call Milking It. Here we go:
1. The very first person we tested was Tom Schwartz, who you might know from Vanderpump Rules. He literally gasped when we gave him the bag, and said, "I've heard about this! It's a BAG of MILK." He was having a bit of a moment. A connection to the Canadian lifestyle.
He proceeded to use the milk to make a beautiful espresso martini...but yeah, definitely didn't pour it right. "I think you just nip the corner?" He made a rookie mistake: cutting the corner and pouring the milk from the bag straight into the jug. Tom also fought the urge to "puncture it," which would've been kinda scary.
BuzzFeed
Our rating: 6/10, but only for the espresso martini. Otherwise this score would probably be much lower. My apologies for the bias.

2. Also from Vanderpump Rules, Jax Taylor was mostly confused. "I'm sorry, what's happening? Is this a thing?" he said, and proceeded to question why bagged milk was created in the first place. "Who's the marketing people who do this?"
After some confusion, Jax actually figured it out! Kinda. The hole he cut was definitely too big, which caused some mess. He was also NOT happy with the functionality. "This is a lot of work. And now I gotta put it in the fridge like this?" But hey, he did better than most of the other celebs.
BuzzFeed
3. I had high hopes for Alex Warren, mostly because I low-key loved the Hype House show. "I'm terrified to open this," he began, which I kinda get. "That's insane." But once he saw the bags WITHIN the bag, he was pretty confident. "I think I know how to open this now..."
Alex made the same error of cutting the bag and pouring the milk into the carton. Of course, we called this out. "It's in the damn cup," he replied. "Now, I don't wanna say your way is inefficient..." but yeah, he kinda did insinuate that. It's OK, Alex. We can take it.
BuzzFeed
4. Angie K from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City said my favourite thing ever: "My breast milk was in a bag like this." I LOL'D. She seemed a lot more enthusiastic about the concept than the previous celebs, which we love to see. "I bet the secret is to cut the corner," she said.
So, yeah, she did cut the corner. But poured the milk directly from the bag into the cup, THEN the rest into the jug. "Look how beautiful! I'm so proud of myself right now," she said. But when we told her she did it wrong, she was shocked. "Why didn't I think of that?!"
BuzzFeed
Our rating: 4/10 for her method, but 10/10 for her attitude, because she was an absolute joy through the entire process.

5. Singer Alex Sampson is actually Canadian, so we took it up a notch for his test: we made him do it all BLINDFOLDED. "Oh no. This is gonna get everywhere." (And spoiler alert, yeah, it really did.)
While he did struggle at first (um, he tried to put ALL THREE BAGS in one jug), he did pretty well until the actual pouring. "Not gonna spill a single drop...I think I spilled a single drop." We enjoyed watching him pour milk all over the counter. He was a good sport.
BuzzFeed
Our rating: 9.5/10. Anyone who pours milk all over their hands and keeps on going deserves a high score. He also took a sip at the end, which most other celebs didn't do.

6. We HAD to include an actual food expert in this list, so who better than Top Chef's very own Kristen Kish? She was confident from the very start. "In a bag. Yes, I do know that." And she got right to work...but in a completely unique way.
She begun by BITING (yes, BITING) the hole in the bag, and pouring the milk straight into the cup. Then, she placed the bag inside the carton. When we told her she did it wrong, she had to re-calibrate for a sec, and on her second try, she did actually get it right for the most part — although she did say it "makes no sense whatsoever."
BuzzFeed
Our rating: 8/10 for not giving up, and for being absolutely savage. I've never seen anyone BITE the milk bag before, and it made me cackle.
Watch the full video here!
7. Finally, our most-recent (and most chaotic) edition of Milking It stars Kyle Cooke, Carl Radke, and West Wilson from Summer House. They were all SHOOK by the sheer concept alone. "What the hell?!" Kyle said. "What do Canadian cows look like?"
West cut a hole in the outer bag, to which Kyle told him, "You have no idea what you're doing." Then, Carl proclaimed he had an idea, and emptied the milk from the bag into the jug (classic mistake). Everyone decided it was a RACE at that point, so all hell broke loose, all of them copying Carl's method. When we did show them the correct way to do it, they were fascinated. "No way," Carl said.

Non-Canadians, if you're still confused, you can check out each video and we'll lay it all out for you! Also, which celebrity do you wanna see on Milking It next? Tell us in the comments below, and we'll do our very best to make it happen!

Gavin Newsom is having his social media moment

'Fuck around' and 'find out,' read a TikTok post, following a screenshot announcing that California is suing President Donald Trump for deploying the National Guard to the streets of Los Angeles. But the TikTok wasn't shared by a typical meme account—it came from California Governor Gavin Newsom. 'I damn near fell over when I realized this was Gov. Newsom's page,' one user commented. Since Friday, demonstrations have erupted across Los Angeles in protest of the president's immigration policies and the ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. Although many of the demonstrations have remained peaceful, there have been violent incidents including authorities deploying tear gas and rubber bullets, and protestors setting Waymo vehicles ablaze throughout the city. As tensions escalated, the Trump administration deployed the National Guard and Marines—despite objections from local officials—sparking a lawsuit from the state, threats of arrest against Governor Newsom, and a surge of defiant memes. 'And remember kids, the next time anybody tells you 'the government wouldn't do that', oh yes they would,' says the popular TikTok sound used on Newsom's official account video, playing over screenshots of news headlines and images of armed forces confronting demonstrators. In another viral video from the governor's page, which amassed over 5.4 million views, Taylor Swift's 'You Need To Calm Down' plays over a series of photos of the two politicians. 'r u ok?' the post asks, with a caption reading: 'America's keyboard warrior.' Newsom's clapback drew widespread praise in the comments. 'I do disagree with Newsom a lot but him standing up to tyranny and standing with your state takes some serious guts. Hats off to you Newsom,' wrote one user. He's also taken to his personal account to deliver meme-laced messages to Trump—one featuring a photoshopped image of the president wearing a crown, captioned 'send in the troops.' The slideshow ends with a shot from the musical Hamilton, with text reading: 'Democracy is under assault right before our eyes. It's time for all of us to stand up.' The online showdown has significantly boosted Newsom's social media presence, growing his personal TikTok account by approximately 397,000 followers and his official Governor account by 479,000 since Friday. Newsom is the latest in a growing number of politicians leveraging memes and social media to bypass traditional media and speak directly to the public through humor. Famously, Kamala Harris gained momentum during her presidential campaign with ' Brat summer ' and the coconut tree trend, while Joe Biden leaned into the viral ' Dark Brandon ' meme during his reelection campaign. Although meme strategies can generate enthusiasm and visibility, the 2024 election results suggest that online popularity doesn't always translate at the polls.

Mom Thought Her Toddler Was Just Playing. Then Something Caught Her Eye (Exclusive)

One evening, Alex Moore was playing with her 23-month-old daughter, Addy They were being silly and listening to nursery rhymes when all of a sudden, Addy started dancing Alex watched as her daughter slid off the bed and began doing little high-kick stompsAlex Moore and her husband, Christian, both work full-time. So after wrapping up their workdays and picking up their daughter from daycare, the North Carolina-based couple likes to wind down by laying in bed to decompress. One evening, Christian went to make dinner while Alex stayed back to play with their 23-month-old daughter, Addy. They were being silly and listening to nursery rhymes when all of a sudden, Addy started dancing. Alex watched as her daughter slid off the bed and began doing little high-kick stomps. "I had no idea what she was doing until she said 'cha cha??' " Alex, 31, tells PEOPLE exclusively. Alex goes on to explain that her daughter learned the "Cha-Cha Slide" by DJ Casper at daycare. She says her teacher, Ms. Mikaila, plays the song often and has been teaching the kids the steps. Although Ms. Mikaila had previously sent Alex videos of Addy dancing along to the "Cha-Cha Slide" at daycare, this was the first time she had seen her daughter perform some of the correct steps in person — especially the stomping and the 'hands on your knees' move. "She was walking around stomping her feet with almost a high-kick fashion, and I kept giggling because I'd never seen her stomp like that before," Alex, a aesthetics technician, says. In the moment, Alex pulled out her phone and recorded the sweet scene. Later, she decided to post it to TikTok, thinking, 'This is too good to not share with more people.' But then, the video quickly went viral, amassing more than 7.4 million views and 13,000 comments. "I knew she was demanding the cha cha slide at daycare' is in incredible statement in itself 😭," one user wrote. "and it is already knows her left and right ✅️❤️," someone else replied. Another person commented, "That's actually so impressive that she knows the cha cha slide at her age .. what an icon." Reading through the comments, Alex says she couldn't help but smile. "The kind of responses I've received from the video are the exact ones I was hoping," she says. " 'This made my day, thank you so much.' It was an added bonus to hear that my daughter could excel in a dance class, because what parent doesn't want to hear that their child has a knack for something?" "My daughter brings me so much joy every day, so I really loved that I could do that for other people," the mom adds. "Also hearing from other daycare employees that they'll start implementing the song into their classrooms for teaching directions, and dance teachers that she has amazing skills for her age — that feedback really stood out to me the most." Since her daughter is so young, Alex knows won't remember much from this time, but in teaching her about it in a few years, she hopes her daughter realizes that she made a lot of people smile when they felt like they couldn't. "Addy has taught me that children truly are like flowers: when they're given a loving environment, taught things with patience and in a fun way, they can blossom into the best versions of themselves," she says. "Along with truly being able to dance your little heart out when you feel it!" Read the original article on People

Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' Is Clawing Toward a Hot 100 #1 Debut

Sabrina Carpenter is no longer the rising pop princess. She's a fully formed femme fatale with diamond fangs, and her latest venom-laced single, 'Manchild,' is biting deep into the Billboard charts and possibly clawing its way to a #1 debut on the Hot 100. What started as a sleek feminist kiss-off has exploded into a bona fide streaming juggernaut, and as of this moment, Sabrina is in a deadly close race with TikTok heartthrob Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' for the top spot. According to projections, the songs are now within just 10 chart points of each other, an astonishingly tight margin that could tip in Sabrina's favor if her streaming momentum continues through the week. 'Manchild' didn't just whisper its way onto streaming platforms it stomped in, six-inch heels and all. The track debuted at #1 on the Global Spotify Chart on June 6 with a staggering 8.05 million streams worldwide, marking the biggest debut of the year by a female artist. Let's be very clear: this isn't just a fluke. These numbers obliterate the previous 2025 record set by Chappell Roan's 'The Giver' and cement Sabrina as not just a pop girl but a pop girl. In the U.S. specifically, 'Manchild' dropped jaws with 3.3 million streams on its first day, giving it a firm grip on the #1 spot on the U.S. Spotify Chart. That's right: Sabrina Carpenter is topping streaming charts in the same week as new releases from Post Malone, Cardi B, and even a surprise drop from The Weeknd. The girl is unfazed, unbothered, and undeniably unstoppable. Here's the breakdown of 'Manchild''s first three days on Spotify: Day 1: 8,752,217 Day 2: 4,766,328 Day 3: 4,526,518 (down only 5.03% from the day before) Total so far? A cool 18,045,063 streams. And she's just getting started. Sabrina isn't just relying on vibes she's playing this game with ruthless pop star precision. 'Manchild' has been discounted to 69 cents on digital platforms, making it one of the best-selling singles of the week on U.S. iTunes, where it now sits pretty at #1. This is Sabrina's first #1 on iTunes, and with digital sales factored heavily into Billboard's Hot 100 formula, this price drop could be the razor-sharp move that slices Alex Warren's lead. For those doing the math: digital sales + massive streaming + Spotify dominance + strong radio adds starting this weekend equals a serious threat for a #1 debut. Let's not ignore the elephant in the studio: 'Manchild' is a banger. It's a breathless, flirtatious slap in the face to immature men wrapped in syrupy vocals and a glossy, hyper-pop beat. It's 'thank u, next' for the Gen Z TikTok generation—but with better shoes and sharper claws. The lyrics? Savage. The delivery? Pornographicly confident. And if TikTok is any indication (over 350,000 video creations and counting), the girls, gays, and emotionally neglected situationships are all eating it up. Here's what we know. Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' has been the sleeper hit of the season, riding high on streaming and viral sentimentality. But streaming alone won't be enough to guarantee him the top spot if Sabrina keeps firing on all cylinders. If 'Manchild' continues to hold its streaming velocity and expands its sales lead through the week and if radio jumps in with last-minute spins it's entirely possible that Sabrina Carpenter could debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 next Monday. That would make her the first solo female artist to debut at #1 in 2025 a stat that's almost too poetic for a song this petty and perfect. The narrative has shifted. Sabrina isn't just the girl next door with a pretty voice she's a chart-dominating pop dominatrix, and 'Manchild' is her scorched-earth campaign against the industry's lingering doubt. Every stream, every sale, every sexy smirk in the song's viral lyric video is evidence: this woman came to conquer. So buckle up. The Hot 100 is about to get very, very interesting and Sabrina Carpenter might just be sitting at the top of it all.
