You don’t mix different types of milk. Be it either two different brands, or two different viscosities, milk stays in it’s original container until it’s used.
So this means, also, that if you’re down at the bottom of the container, you use it all up. It’s the same legal principle that was determined in Brady v. Brady, when Peter got his ass whooped by his sisters when he left one last swallow of orange juice in the carton. They, rightly, as eventually ruled the Supreme Court, that:
if there is less than one serving (8 oz) of orange juice remaining, the person who has taken that last full serving must empty the container.
It’s really very simple, and it’s the right thing to. But not at the Factfortress, I guess. There, civil war is immenent.
I went into the fridge at approx 2:37 A.M. Saturday. As is my habit, I wake up n the middle of the night for a snack. This time it was cookies, and what is a plate of cookies without milk? I wouldn’t know, because I never had a plate of cookies without milk.
So I grab the opened container of milk, a 1 quart container, only to discover that there is exactly 17 mm of milk in it. 17 mm!!! So I opened the new gallon of milk that I picked up from the store on my way home from milk.
It is now Monday morning. The quart container is still in there, still holding its less-than-a-serving amount, and I was severely disciplined Saturday afternoon for not finishing off the old container (which, it should be known, wasn’t my legal nor moral responsibility to do so) before opening the new. So, to bring peace to the household, I poured the old milk mixed with some new milk, and now all of you should be buying stock of the manufacturer of Imodium.
Anybody know who represented the Brady sisters in that case? I need a good lawyer here.
Old milk should be used up before new milk is opened. That’s a rule I grew up with and still abide by. I might run with scissors and not wait thirty minutes after eating before swimming, but the milk rule got firmly implanted in my brain.
Mr. Anachi cannot be broken of this bad habit. I have learned to live with it. He’s got too many other redeeming qualities. Such as:
