Last night I realized that we still had a lot of milk left to drink. Not wanting to drink it just for the sake of drinking milk, I thought that milk and oreos would be a tasty treat for dessert.It's a good thing that I looked at the expiration date on the milk first (2/02/10). Being very disappointed that I could no longer have oreos and milk, I dumped out the expired milk. Erik noticed my mopey-ness about not getting to have oreos and very sweetly offered to go to the gas station across the street and buy me some more milk.
He got back, gave me the milk and I was very excited to have my dessert treat. But, the milk tasted a bit funny. Not having had milk out of a cardboard carton in a while, I thought that perhaps this was why it tasted different. Besides, I couldn't even taste the weirdness all that much when I just dunked the oreo in it.
This morning: I awoke much, much earlier than normal with a very upset stomach.
Morals of the story:
- Don't trust gas station milk.
- Don't continue to drink said milk after you decide it tastes funny.
- Do go to a real grocery store to buy new milk when you realize yours is expired.
- Give up on the idea of oreos and milk when you realize your milk is expired, because fate has already decided that for some reason you are meant to drink funky milk and get sick.
The end.
