Milk and Expiration Dates

Tonight I poured myself a glass of milk. I then got out the store brand chocolate syrup which isn't as good as Hersheys. As I squeezed the chocolate syrup into the glass of milk I noticed the expiration date on the gallon of milk...it expires tomorrow! The expiration date on milk, actually make that all dairy products, is a serious concern of mine. I have such a hard time eating or drinking anything that is close to expiring and forget it if it is the actual exprition date. There is no way I will use it. I realize this may be a little extreme and not everyone shares my feelings. Dan doesn't. But rather than wasting the milk I just continued to add chocolate so that just in case it started to go a little bad....all I would taste is chocolate! Watch this clip of Jerry Seinfeld in one of his stand up shows talk about milk. (It is only the first 3 minutes) Enjoy!

Such a great post. We all definitely have a moment of panic when we see that the expiration date is getting close. Awesome that you kept adding chocolate syrup, just in case :) I'd do the same thing!

i like milk and i think you would be able to smell if it were bad. but i will now pay more attention to expiration dates.
