Plastic litres jug milk sold in Ireland and the UK is what both commenters were comparing to the bland UHT milk.
Generally everything is available in the USA, but there are some surprising cases where the default product is of noticeable lower quality than the default in Europe.
- ericd 3y agoYeah, I’d say that the default in the US is generally cheaper and lower quality than the default in France, at least (no experience with Ireland).
- throwaway2037 3y agoIf you spend the same amount in US as France (milk _is_ more expensive in France), is the quality the same? This comment only seems to confirm that cheaper milk will be worse.
- Symbiote 3y agoJust with https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_price_rankings?itemId=8 https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_price_rankings... the price is within 10%.
- esperent 3y agoI would say that default dairy and meat quality is roughly the same in France and Ireland. France has an edge on bread and pastries, while fruit and veg depends on the season but because so much more has to be shipped into Ireland, France gets the edge there too.
- WJW 3y agoNot gonna comment on something as subjective as "quality", but just the taste of Coca Cola is noticeably different in the US vs at home in the EU.
- scrlk 3y agoHigh-fructose corn syrup is used as the sweetener in US Coca-Cola, rather than sugar.
