GogglesnTeeth 6 #2 April 14, 2007 I have found a few clues to this question. How cold is your fridge?? Colder than normal?? Than it is my opinion that it is good for a couple of extra days. I always do the sniff test.... smells ok, I drink it!!!Goggles and Teeth "You fall like a greased safe!!!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 0 #7 April 14, 2007 Well the date on the container is the sell by date not an actual this is bad and will kill you date. I figure you about about 1 week or so of still good to drink left, but my fridge is nice and cold. Oh and my grandparents had dairy cows and made their own milk......guess what....that shit stays warm a long time before they pasturize and refrigerate it. Fly it like you stole it!

denete 3 #9 April 14, 2007 Hold the container and give it one firm shake up and then down.

PLFXpert 0 #10 April 14, 2007 Soy milk has a very long shelf life. I definitely recommend it instead of cow milk. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #11 April 14, 2007 I have a sensitive palate when it comes to sour milk. Usually 1 day after the expiration date I can tell the milk start to go bad, and it's promptly poured down the drain. Of course, some of the top brands last a bit longer than the local or lesser known, cheaper brands.

matt1215 0 #12 April 14, 2007 There's a reason I buy skim, because it really doesn't coagulate, thus is good a bit longer Really, it depends on what you're going to use it for. If it's a bit sour to drink, it MIGHT be ok to cook with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base283 0 #13 April 14, 2007 Simple test with the microwave will assure you of the freshness or foulness of the milk. nuke it at high power until it starts to foam over the container. stir it witha spoon. if ya see solids, its foul. Else, it's ok. Doesn't work with skim or low fat milk. take care, space Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperKat 0 #15 April 14, 2007 Lactaid milk is the best. I've had it one month expired and it was still so drinkable! Yummy! If you're not sure if your milk is still drinkable, do the curdle test. Get a cup of hot water, pour a tbsp of milk in there and see if it curdles. What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss, Friendo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DFWAJG 4 #17 April 15, 2007 just make sure its organic soy milk. about 70% of soy is genetically modified and heavily sprayed with pesticides. organic nut milks are good alternatives too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lekstrom10k 0 #22 April 15, 2007 Did you ever see' Grumpy Old Men" when Walter Mattau poured the milk for a guest ? coffee and it came out in lumps. I think he said when asked "It smelled OK to him".There was another movie that was similar to it The guy said to his wife or girl friend "Didnt [what ever name on the carton] go out of business three years ago?" I recall the date as being the last day the store could sell. Not the last day it was drinkable. Just carry a new pair of undies and baby wipes with you and not worry so much Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
