Milk: When does it really go bad?

[SUPERSTAR]

So I want some Milk and some Chocolate Chunky cookies to dip.

I open the fridge and the date says Oct,8th. Is it no good to drink after this date or is it the date it should be sold by?

smells ok.

[S14_Kouki]

yes dont drink it when its starting to smell bad the sell by date is when it has to leave the shelf of the store

[SexPanda]

yeah its good for like a week or so after the date.

Its cold. Its in a fridge. Its good. lol

[r6_240sx]

yes dont drink it when its starting to smell bad the sell by date is when it has to leave the shelf of the storeYup. Then its off to the homeless shelters.

srs

[SUPERSTAR]

It smells bad in the gallon.

But I poured it into a cup and it smells ok.

I am not down to drink spoiled milk. It happened once and it was the fucken worst.

[r6_240sx]

It usually smells funky in the container anyway.

If I have to think twice about whether its bad or not, I throw it out. Last time I committed to finishing it cuz I told myself it was good and I didn't feel so great later.

[hOngsterr]

+1 i think they did a lil health thing about it on tv.

[IIIXziuR]

Dude it says Oct 8th on the jug?
It's still good. I drink milk that is way older than that.
It might taste a bit sour but cookies w/o milk is LAME

[duffman1278]

I'd listen to those labels! I just cleaned out a lot of food in my parents fridge that was WAAAAAAAY past the expiration date. Milk is the pickiest one too. imo

[zenki.life]

its fine lol. the only reason that it smells bad in the jug is because the milk dries around the opening...making it smell bad.

your fine.

[SUPERSTAR]

Alright, then here it goes.

If I get the shits, Ima neg rep you bastards.

[driven_]

in for sick milk/diarrhea stories.

[SUPERSTAR]

Oh man don't even get me started.

Milk is good by the way and the smell is gone after I cleaned top with wet cloth.


I had the habit of driking out of the jug, one day I was up late and grabbed it and took a chug down and felt something bump my lip after the second gulp. That shit looked like yogurt and tasted soooo bad, I puked in the kitchen on the spot.

[vegasS12]

I wouldn't know gallon milk never last more than 2 days I'm my home haha

[SUPERSTAR]

I wouldn't know gallon milk never last more than 2 days I'm my home haha

[nevertheless]

You're 34, huh?

Hard to believe you've lived so long and yet, still need to make a post about expired food.


God help us.

[Teknolust72]

drink Lactaid milk!!! That shit lasts for like 4 weeks in the fridge!!

Edit: forgot to mention that Lactaid milk is only for ballers!! about $4.00 for a half gallon!!

[Sil-Abc]

i just follow my golden rule: when in doubt, throw it out

[DataXUnknown]

I will go only 2 days maximum over the date posted on the carton. I've been drinking milk for a long ass time and have been very critical about it. I noticed that after about 2 days it starts tasting different, maybe not BAD, but different. I'm sure with cookies it will be ok though.

[sleep]

are you serious? What has the world come to, when i see a thread like this on an automotive forum.................

even though it prolly will be locked

[mad-ass]

Shelf Life of milk depends on how long it's been sitting out side of fridge that's above 36F degrees.

So, let's say your milk's "leave store by" date is tomorrow and you had it for about a week. Your milk will be good to consume for about a week after the "leave store by" date.

as long as it's been sitting at 36F degrees or below. meaning, you don't leave your milk out, pour it and put it right back into the fridge. then you are good there..

On the other hand, when you leave your milk out above 40F degree temp every 30 mins, it'll loose a day or so of it's shelf life.

So, rule of thumb, put it back in fridge after you are done pouring, and throw it out after about 5~6 days of it's leave store by date.

and of course, taste/smell check is good too, as long as it don't taste sour/bitter/too "buttery", should be good to drink.



Or, best way to go about it is...don't buy gallon of milk if you don't plan on drinking it all by leave store by date.


PS: Yes, I am bored.

[S14_Kouki]

soooo how was it did you drink the milk??

[pinky121388]

usually milk should last longer than the "sell" date.. maybe a week or so... But at my house my sister eats cereal for breakfast lunch and dinner. lol we never have milk. Once its bought, oh it gone within 2 or 3 days

[FaLKoN240]

I just get Soy Milk now, it has a super long shelf life and is usually long gone before that time rolls around anyways.

[SUPERSTAR]

You're 34, huh?

God help us.

Bored? Yes.

Don't claim to know it all, sorry, I don't bs people.

20 years of those 34 was in a small room, very small, with people to feed me.

But what ever. Vote for me, when I run for president.

[brndck]

Buy raw milk next time. Milk only spoils because it's been pasteurized. Otherwise it just curdles and then you can make cheese!

[r6_240sx]

I just get Soy Milk now, it has a super long shelf life and is usually long gone before that time rolls around anyways.I can't remember if it's soy, lactaid milk or both, but if you read it carefully the "expiration" date that's on it is for when it's UNOPENED. Once opened it's recommended you drink it within a week.

[I LUV MY S13]

if it smells good its fine....i had cereal last week and the milk was rotten before the expiration date on the carton

[SUPERSTAR]

nasty .

[I LUV MY S13]

no i didnt eat it ha....i meant i served it and i smelled it right away but it was 1 week before the expiration date

[B18C5MK1]

i just follow my golden rule: when in doubt, throw it out

good call. common sense. :smash:

[SUPERSTAR]

no i didnt eat it ha....i meant i served it and i smelled it right away but it was 1 week before the expiration date

[hOngsterr]

when i moved it around it left streaks of the milk, uughhhhh lol.

but i was too lazy to throw it away and just left it there.

lol

[enkei2k]

i just finish drinking it by the date posted lol..always thought that was the expiration date.

[jspaeth]

I just get Soy Milk now, it has a super long shelf life and is usually long gone before that time rolls around anyways.


Yeah, I just started buying organic milk...it's like 2x as expensive, but I end up throwing out so much regular milk, that it pays for itself.

I have opened it and then had it in the fridge for a month, and it smells/tastes fine.

And I DO know what funky milk smells like.....trust me, that organic shit lasts forever.

[zylvia213]

shit i throw that shit away a day before the sell by date.... Milk gives me the bubblees lol.

[kyoru]

lol that's some risky shit i'm pretty paranoid and would never drink milk past the expiry date

[Kaizen.]

I think they put expiration dates so it'll make people go and buy more! In reality they really last longer than the expiration date.

Unless your fridge is effed up and not cold, causing it to spoil faster

[FaLKoN240]

Oh, word? Thanks for the heads up, although I usually finish up a carton in less than a week.

They also sell soy milk in those handy little boxes, for less than $3(?) Just buy a ton of those and keep em in the garage fridge, ready to rock for cereal anytime!

I have yet to have a soymilk go bad on me yet.

[DreamN]

werd on the soymilk. it's never gone bad. I get Silk Vanilla or Very Vanilla. Love it.

Still buy a 1/4 gallon 2% every other week or so though.

[Bubbles]

Depends on the situation:

No money and going to chill at home, risk it.


Just got a paycheck and won't be near a shitter for the next couple hours, risk it and pray to god you find one in time.

[choleboy]

i don't drink the milk after the date on the jug. it usually smells like shit by the sell by date. i wouldn't risk diarrhea

[SexPanda]

I seriously can't believe you guys buy milk and have to throw it out. I mean, I drink milk like its water... thick white delicious water from a cow's nipples.

[Bubbles]

That's a bit strange.

[SexPanda]

I can down a gallon of 2% in a days time. I just go to the fridge, grab a glass, down it, grab another, baby it... and repeat that every hour or so lol

[[w]hite[r]abbit[x]]

I don't drink milk anymore. That stuff is nasty. I only drink Soy Bean drink. Tastes sweet.

[sevenstar]

It smells bad in the gallon.

But I poured it into a cup and it smells ok.

I am not down to drink spoiled milk. It happened once and it was the fucken worst.

drink it ernie, just do it, and don't worry about it, whats the worst that can happen? i doubt you'll poop your pants when you sneeze or cough

as for soy milk, I love the taste of the vanilla one, but if i have it, gives me gas that will wake the dead, which smells far worse than baby poo,
