But let’s just say I already had been through college and established a career for myself.

At least no one had to tell me and I figured it out for myself, I guess.

    Nothing to do with how many cows are involved, but…

    If you mix milk that’s two weeks from going bad, with milk that’s two days from going bad, you now have twice as much milk that will go bad in two days.

      I was thinking more like having a glass of milk that’s like 1/3 full and drinking that and then putting more milk in the glass from the other jug. That’s what I used to do under the stupid assumption that if you mixed the milk from two different cows, something bad would happen.

        Like mixing two different blood types.

        That’s why they’re labeled with whole, 2%, 1%, and skim. Just keep same with same and the space-time continuum is fine.

        I’m curious what you thought might happen?

          I honestly didn’t know. Just something not good. Like Rhaedas said jokingly, you don’t mix two blood types.

      I don’t know why I held out for you to claim something like, ‘If you mix the milk that’s two days away from expiring, with milk that will expire in two weeks, you can essentially extend the two days away milk’s shelf life.’

      I swear I’m not that gullible.

    I never mix it because I only buy a pint every two weeks for cooking. Why would I mix a bit of old milk into my fresh milk? I don’t understand drinking cow titty juice, it straight up makes me sick unless it’s an ingredient in a cooked dish.

    I haven’t mixed two separate milks into one container before but my family thinks it’s weird that I spin the container and swish the milk around before I pour it over my cereal.
