I was in the middle of making dinner when this happened. I’m grateful I poured it into a measuring cup first. Thankfully I don’t live too far from another source.

I remember milk staying good almost a week past its expiration date when I was a kid. Boy have the times changed.

    Take the tinfoil hat off, junior.

    All that tells you, is what state with the code of 18. It doesn’t tell you where you are specifically, only the plant of which the jug of milk was made in. In this case, it was made in Indiana (not sure if it was based on the number of states in order, which would make it wrong since Indiana isn’t the 18th state, more like 19th but whatever).

    I do happen to work retail and the plausibility of how the milk ended up the way it did is several. The plant didn’t do a good job. Your housing conditions such as temperature and where you stored the milk matters overtime. Someone working dairy didn’t care enough to efficiently stock the jug per company standards. Poor stationing of pallet somewhere from the store in bad conditions. Something.

    Anything. I’ve never had a milk jug just come like that though, since I buy almond milk anymore.
