A topic of dinner tonight (positively thrilling conversation, here) was on the date stamped on milk cartons. Rosanna refuses to use milk when it within a couple of days of the date on the carton. She says it doesn’t smell bad but it doesn’t smell fresh.
I, on the other hand, don’t mind it if it’s not as fresh as it could be. To me, if it ain’t funky, it’s good to go.
But the main question: Is the date on milk cartons the “sell-by” date, or the expiration date?
What say you?

See, that’s what I think, too. Several people on FB are saying that it’s the expiration.

i feel like it’s the exp date. i’m pretty sure actually. because normally it goes smelling bad at the latest 2-3 days after that expiration date.
but yep. i’ll drink it as long as it doesn’t stink.
speaking of milk…. did you know you can freeze it? that’s come in handy sometimes for me..
