once the milk has past the expiration date, will you still try/drink it??

i know i dont >__< i dont want to smell/taste the sourness!!
but my mom always pours some in a cup and microwaves it.
if it looks like cottage cheese then she'll toss the milk.
if it doesnt.. she'll still use it.

idc if it doesnt look like cottage cheese afterwards..
i def WILL NOT drink it if it's past the expiration date!!


so do you trust the expiration date label that's on the carton or any other food labels???

hahah is this a weird topic? ^^

[evilwaffles]

I don't even drink it even if it's a day before the expiration date.

[cher amour]

^ me neither! o_____o

well, I dont like milk anyway so I wouldn't drink it either way. . . but my mom forces me to drink it everyday, so if the milk expires a few days later, I would not drink it. D:

[^.^]

I think its good for a week after the expiration date. If it smells funny, throw it out.
Although expired milk seems disgusting... cheese is still good.

[akira53]

it depends what it is. I usually won't drink milk after the expiration date, but if it's bread or packaged foods I usually still eat it after it's expired, as long as there isn't anything wrong with it.

[Jerrica]

oh...spoiled milk is so disgusting.
I don't drink it after the expiration date, I just try it =_= too curious/fond of memories.

[yongwonhi]

i don't buy milk that often so when i do i usually don't drink it past the expiration date, but all my friends do. haha it's apparently still good for a few days afterwards. as long as it doesn't smell/taste funny, it should be okay o.o

[l3oosh]

lol this reminds me of something that happened to my brother.

At a family friend's house one time for dinner, my mom gave my brother some milk from a carton that looked different from the cartons we usually get. So my mom just assumed it was buttermilk (I don't know anyone who actually drinks buttermilk by itself, but there you have it) and didn't read the label for some reason. She poured the rest of the carton into my brother's cup. My brother drank some and said it tasted and smelled funny, but my mom said it was only because it was buttermilk. My brother had no choice but to finish it.

Then the family friend noticed the carton in the trash can and asked my mom if someone had drank the milk.

Apparently, the milk in the carton was spoiled, but no one in the household had bothered to throw it out

I start to smell the milk in the cartons when I'm approaching the expiration date. You're right - sometimes the milk expires before the date marked on the carton.

i dont trust the expiration dates anymore.
my jug of milk expired 5 days before the date that was said.
my sister drank it and thought the smell was just the cup ._.

[des monstres]

it's not the expiration date.
it's the SELL BY date.
when the product should be sold by.
you can still drink it a couple days later.

but you should still always make sure it smells alright. >w<;

[smartypantalon]

I think it depends on when I open it. I try to drink it within the week that I open it.
If not, I usually abide by the sell by date-- the most I'd go is one day past it.

[Achee]

nope, i never trust the expiration dates.
sometimes it smells sour several days before the expiration date.
i drank it once, gross.

[comcis]

Never drink that, seriously. I had really bad stomach pain after accidentally drinking milk that is 1 day past expiration date

[Chanellas]

I just smell it and look at it's consistency... if it looks off, I won't drink it lol

or if i swish it around the jug and it heavily coats the sides, hell no xD

[rurokenshin]

i dunno...i dont really trust my own nose...cause everytime its past the expiry date and i dont smell anything wrong with it, = .=a

[Honey.bee]

2 days ago, I dranked some milk before going to bed as usual without thinking about anything. Then the next morning, my mom would tell me that my brother got a stomach ache last night. I guess I was lucky but I didn't felt any suspicions about the milk, only the fact that it tasted like strawberry yoplait. D: Seriously, I felt betrayed, the expiration date was written as April.

[CorruptedSilence__nomore]

Uhh well for me it doesn't matter. I always smell it before I drink it and that's how I can tell o_0.

Sometimes the milk expires before the date and sometimes it doesn't expire until a week later of the due date.

[tinatran_]

it depends for me. i'd smell it a few days before the expiration date. if it doesn't have that sour stench, i'd get my sister to smell it too and if she doesn't smell sour-ness, i'd drink it.

[SUMM3RxBABii]

ew. never!
new york milk is really weird, you know.

like the new york city date expires a few days earlier than NY State..which I don't get...
but i still drink it until the NY state expiration date anyways.

[bombb_]

the milk never lasts past the expiration date in my house.
my mom shoves it down my throat by giving me a HUGE cup and not letting me not finish it.

but i think you should trust the expiration date, and sometimes not even.
even if its before the expiration date, you should always smell it first.
