It has happened again: I’ve opened a new gallon of milk and it was sour already. I don’t understand why this is happening. I talked about it with a couple of people from school who also buy milk in large quantities – larger quantities than me – and they said they don’t recall it happening to them. It happens to me a couple of times per year. It’s enough to be bothersome, but not enough to gather data very easily. Dang.
Maybe this is your superpower – your evil superpower: the ability to sour milk by merely touching the jug.
During the summer, the milk we get at school (in the little cartons) is often sour. It is gross and disappointing. My apologies.
(Nice martini shaker, by the way.)
I’ve opened a gallon of milk on several occasions & it’s tasted ‘off’. Not sour…but icky. So I dump it. I just always assumed the cow had an off day…maybe ate some old oats.
I wonder if skim milk is more prone to do this?
Maybe if you return one of the sour gallons, it will break the spell.
If it’s not cottage cheese yet, I say add the Instant breakfast, shake REALLY well, and gulp it down. After all, isn’t “bad” milk what makes yogurt and sour cream so GOOD?
