Caveats with the data presented here:
- Small sample size, largely focused on the Central NY area.
- If bags were ever served at a specific location, it is considered a bag school.
- Some year data is estimated.
- Some location points are a generic statewide account without a specific school named.
- The bagged milk phenomenon was only for a short period for some schools, therefore schools marked as carton could've been a bag school at one point, we just don't have the confirmed report to back it up yet.
- People tend to be more excited to provide bag responses than the more common carton - this may skew results.
