But let’s just say I already had been through college and established a career for myself.
At least no one had to tell me and I figured it out for myself, I guess.
Nothing to do with how many cows are involved, but…
If you mix milk that’s two weeks from going bad, with milk that’s two days from going bad, you now have twice as much milk that will go bad in two days.
I don’t know why I held out for you to claim something like, ‘If you mix the milk that’s two days away from expiring, with milk that will expire in two weeks, you can essentially extend the two days away milk’s shelf life.’
I swear I’m not that gullible.
That’s just silly.
Everyone knows that stamping a new date on the jug is the only way to extend its shelf life.
We got a stew going
I was thinking more like having a glass of milk that’s like 1/3 full and drinking that and then putting more milk in the glass from the other jug. That’s what I used to do under the stupid assumption that if you mixed the milk from two different cows, something bad would happen.
Like mixing two different blood types.
That’s why they’re labeled with whole, 2%, 1%, and skim. Just keep same with same and the space-time continuum is fine.
Exactly!
I’m curious what you thought might happen?
I honestly didn’t know. Just something not good. Like Rhaedas said jokingly, you don’t mix two blood types.
Just don’t drink straight from the jug. The bacteria in your saliva will spoil the milk twice as fast.
wait. do you stick your tounge in the jug? just pour it in like drinking a bottle of beer. nothing inside the bottle should touch your mouth except the milk already under gravity.
Backwash is inevitable unless you’re not putting your mouth on it at all.
Ew, people do that?
I plead the 5th.
Interesting. I haven’t run into this. And I’m a total jug drinker.
If you drink it fast enough it’s not an issue. Give it about a week after your first drink and it’ll be sour.
Or so I’ve heard…
Ah yeah. I drink it too fast. Lol. I don’t do it with anything other than milk though. Like my OJ. I have to pour in a cup lol.
I never mix it because I only buy a pint every two weeks for cooking. Why would I mix a bit of old milk into my fresh milk? I don’t understand drinking cow titty juice, it straight up makes me sick unless it’s an ingredient in a cooked dish.
Even if it was 1 jug per cow, why would it be weird to mix them?
In the same way it’s weird how some stores and restaurants sell glued-together steak.
It doesn’t really matter, it’s all the same meat from one herd being treated the same way and it’s all going to the same place, but it’s still weird. At least to me.
Have you never had minced meat?
I can’t help what feels weird to me, dude.
It’s okay, as a kid I would roll the wheels backwards on toy cars to counter out any forwards rotation I put on the wheels.
I get you. When eating (Greek) yoghurt as a kid, any separated liquid had to be mixed back in until it was perfectly homogeneous. When I saw a friend pour out the liquid instead, years later, it was gut-wrenching.
Ah, similarly when I was a kid, I didn’t understand that you were supposed to mix together the kind of yogurt with fruit on the bottom. I thought that was sort of a little post-yogurt treat.
Yeah, I still haven’t made up my mind about that one.
I kind of haven’t either, but when I got older, I just made my own mixed yogurt with jam and I liked it more anyway.
The only concern I would have is if one jug is older than the other. Milk doesn’t have a long shelf life.
I started buying ultrapasturized and it lasts a lot longer. a lil more expen as I’ve but worth it if your slow to use milk
