Had a bad experience a few weeks ago when I was drinking milk from a freshly-opened bottle of milk, and after I had almost finished my first glass I started thinking something was off about the taste. I figured that if it was expired, I would have noticed by now. So I poured my second glass, and to my horror chunks came out.
I wish I had thought of returning the bottle before I dumped it all down the sink in a panic. I would have liked my four dollars back.
I was put off of milk for weeks after that. Now I’m paranoid. As stated in the title, I can’t smell, so my sense of taste is also not the best. I just got more milk, and I can’t tell if the milk I just drank is actually slightly sour or if I’m just placebo-effecting the taste into being because I am expecting it to be spoiled. Is there a test I can do that will prove the milk is not spoiled?
I’m in the same boat; I can’t smell spoiled milk. Partially that, partially I don’t really like dairy milk that much, I drink plant-based milks now. When I open a new container I mark the date on it with a sharpie. Then I throw out any remainder after 14 days (or whatever the bottle says plus some).
