How long does your open milk jug sit on the counter before you put it back into the frige?

Quit buying your milk from Walmart. I get milk from Kroger and it last a week after the expiration date!

Definitely more fun to just drink it straight out of the container

I took this down because I don't feel like getting banned today for threatening you and calling you by your government name

I find that whole milk lasts longer than 2%.

Publix milk never makes it to near the expiration date.


Its also just 2 letters away from being pubic milk.

I probably have 3 glasses a day on the weekends. Occasionally I’ll add a little strawberry syrup to a glass if I can’t sleep. It seems to do the trick.

Some brands last longer than others.

I was having that problem with milk.

I switched to coconut milk.

From my experience the spoilage issue directly relates to the type of container it's in. Plastic containerized milk usually have a week to 10 days expiration dates. Paper/ cardboard containers usually have expedition dates a month to 6 weeks out. I've nearly always had milk in plastic containers spoil before it's expiration date. I don't have that issue anymore buying milk in paper cartons.

As an old timer I can recall the times when dairy creameries ran their own refrigerated truck home delivery routes. Milk was delivered in glass bottles in those times. I don't recall having spoilage issues back then.



I think you are on to something here. Cardboard milks seem to not spoil as quickly.

But me being OCD as I am a can’t let something just sit when it needs to be dealt with . Like dishes piling up in the sink, I wash the dirty dishes as I use them and put them on the drying rack. Yet dishes pile up in the sink.



Sounds like my house. I'm in no way OCD, but I don't let dishes sit overnight in the sink dirty. I'll wash them and it almost never fails that when I'm rinsing off the last dish, my wife will magically appear and say "I was just coming to do the dishes". YEAH RIGHT

My wife, when she does the dishes has the uncanny ability to completely fill the drainboard----------even if she's only washing 5 dishes. The concept of stacking them neatly in the drainboard is a foreign concept she has yet to grasp.

It's really an African thing, but instead of cow's milk, it's goat's milk.


Actually Africans fall behind the Mid East.




Reason being is that while they used milk, it wasn’t a direct food source. They fermented it into cheeses, sour milk, and yogurt rather than drinking it directly.

I don't drink milk but my mother (94) does. I usually buy her groceries. We have found that the Publix milk tastes way better than Walmart milk and last past the expiration date. The Walmart and some other stores don't taste as good and often sour before the expiration date. YMMV
