In the office I worked it was never an issue that we were out of milk. It was that people brought in their own milk cartoons and put them in the fridge, so others could have milk too. Nice. Thanks to whoever brought it!
But then nobody removed that cartoon from fridge so it started to stink, and remained in the fridge still. Then no-one in particual was eager to tackle the bad smell, it definitely was not their job.
- ramses0 2y agoI implemented the "three sticker rule" at my office. Every Friday, put a neon dot sticker on _everything_ in the fridge. Instead of putting a fourth sticker on anything, throw it out. Because "anyone could do it", it usually ends up that "no one does it".
- galaxyLogic 2y agoSounds good, "THREE STRIKES AND YOU'RE OUT". But would it not mean that sometimes you had 3 weeks old milk in the fridge? :-)
- rsanek 2y agois 3 week old milk that old? usually when I buy milk the best by date is 2-3 weeks away
- flail 2y agoI generally trust the due dates printed on the items. But what would I know? Maybe it's a conspiracy to force us to drink old milk ;) On a more serious note, UHT milk can be stored for months, given it wasn't opened.
- latexr 2y agoThose dates assume unopened products. After being breaking the seal, they don’t last as long.
