The exp date was 11/4 and I didn't notice an off smell. That first mouthful of Honey Bunches of Oats got me though.

related - years ago we switched to this "organic" kind of milk
The shelf life is way longer than regular milk. I always thought it weird.
article on the why -they heat it UHT (UltraHighTemperature)

And an article that makes me wonder how good this is.

Wife buys milk straight from the cow tit. Really tasty. No idea how much it costs.
Edit: not the same milk above

Related milk rant: I drink more milk than just about anyone I know. I love it. Always have. 2% for life. My last 4am bodega purchase, out of necessity, was for a half gallon of 1%.
Egad. What a loss. At least when I make a mistake buying whole, I can make chocolate milkshakes and it's delicious. I don't know what to do with this weird watered down piss water. How do you Skim advocates even live, anyway?!

Yeah, 1% doesnt work. Skim is water.
I get that fairlife chocolate milk sometimes. Pretty good.

I have tried some of the non-milk milks
And rank them like this-for flavor
Cocunut, almond, soy. Need to give hemp milk a try.
Now that I have tried them, i am back to the old 2%. I like some of the others for diff purposes-ie almond is great in oatmeal. Cocunut milk-mixed drinks, and cereal. But not enough for regular spot in the fridge

I can, and routinely, drink three or four glasses of milk with a meal. 2%. But for whatever reason, whole milk is just too much, and I can't drink it straight. Only use its accidental purchases for chocolate milk or protein shakes. 1% tastes flat. Skim is simply gross.
On the topic of sour milk: Because I am such a gross over-drinker of milk, I never deal with spoiled milk like normal people. But when I run into it at my parents' or any other home, it's an awful disappointment.

I like whole milk but rarely buy it. 2% is what I usually get, I'm fine with 1%, skim is awful. My parents keep it at their house, and when I was home last weekend, just about spit it out.
