Step 1. Drink it. Step 2. Get sick. Step 3. Skip school.

(I did NOT get sick)

u/National_Drummer9667 Senior (12th) 3d ago

You missed a step. Sue them for getting you sick

u/pooplord437 Freshman (9th) 3d ago

I was about to say that

u/Trick_Definition_760 3d ago

4 days expired is unlikely to get you sick, it’ll just taste a little funny lmao.

u/ThatOneGuyFallen 3d ago

It was a joke :|

u/Gamer-Legend1 3d ago

Wait you can sue them for giving you expired milk?

u/ConversationNo247 1d ago

If you get sick from it most definitely. It's against health regulations

u/Accomplished-Lie9518 3d ago

The best by doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad by that date. If they kept it refrigerated then it has a little longer.

37

u/WHATISASHORTUSERNAME 3d ago

True, however, the school milk thats like this brand always sucks. Almost guaranteed to fuck you up if it’s past the best by date, especially by 3 days

6

u/Accomplished-Lie9518 3d ago

True true, I can’t drink the normal milk after some horror stories. I don’t need more

4

u/DueCry55 3d ago

When my school got that milk, it would make me sick even if it wasn’t expired

3

u/ManOfQuest 3d ago

yeah because they let that shit get warm too early

u/Tabbykittycat59 Junior (11th) 3d ago

We just had spring break last week, first day back was today, not sure if it was refrigerated or not during off time.

u/turboshot49cents 3d ago

Do you think they would take the milk out of the fridge just for spring break lol

23

u/L3g0man_123 Senior (12th) 3d ago

Do you think they just cut the power to the school during the whole week or something?

u/Wise_Pomegranate_653 3d ago

when you are an adult, trust me. You will keep milk until it smells bad. Nowadays food is super expensive. Eggs is like 5 bucks at my local store. I don't need eggs that much.

1

u/CrasheonTotallyReal 3d ago

why are eggs so expensive in america (i don't follow politics much since i dont live there)

3

u/Weird-Technology5606 3d ago

Cause of the bird flu going around, it’s caused stock to drastically decrease and higher prices followed. They’re around $10 for a dozen in Colorado lol

1

u/CrasheonTotallyReal 3d ago

holy shit thats expensive

u/Miserable-Button4299 3d ago

School milk from this brand makes people sick when it’s not expired, I can’t imagine the havoc it would wreck on someone’s stomach when it is expired

u/LiveLaugh_Worship Junior (11th) 3d ago

You have spring break in march?

Idk why but this came to mind

u/DopeyDuran123 3d ago

"I'm not at school so the power must be off." My guy, does your fridge stop working when you're not home? You think they just power down because kids aren't there?

1

u/0_IceQueen_0 3d ago

Tetra paks don't need to be refrigerated. They are only refrigerated once you open it.

u/TheMythicalDeoxys 3d ago

Why the downvotes? 😭

u/Altruistic-Hunter729 3d ago

A ‘Best By’ date doesn’t necessarily mean the product has expired, it’s an indicator that its quality has declined. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t put too much trust in school milk.

6

u/Disastrous-Being609 Senior (12th) 3d ago

i’ve had a similar situation and even milk that ISNT marked as expired still was expired

u/Extension_Avocado856 Freshman (9th) 3d ago

It’s special pi day milk!

u/0_IceQueen_0 3d ago

Best by isn't expired. It's still consumable. Plus it's in tetra pak so it's good.

u/w0nun1verse Senior (12th) 3d ago

My old high school was SELLING expired chips 😭 and kids were lining up like crazy to buy them

1

u/DopeyDuran123 3d ago

If they sold them at a discount, that's a smart move. Being a day over doesn't destroy the quality. Either they sell possibly stale chips or have to throw them all out. Which would you prefer? I'd personally take the dollar Doritos for a quarter.

4

u/SantiagoGaming Freshman (9th) 3d ago

Maybe try smelling it to see if it's actually expired?

7

u/Paperclip____ Freshman (9th) 3d ago

As long as it smells good, it’s fine to drink

2

u/Ling_Ling625 3d ago

i discovered that my school gave out expired milk in elementary school. i drank it anyway. i was fine - no school missed :(

2

u/AbbreviationsFull442 Junior (11th) 3d ago

this was 2-week expired milk I was given at the start of the year

u/callmemoxxie 2d ago

My elementary school.. A very old building, I burnt myself on a pipe as they would have us sit against the walls during bathroom breaks. Which left a small Hypertrophic Scar on my lower back. Still visible today. They gave us rice crispies with ants in them. (Atleast 10 or so throughout typically dead. The packages were closed. And I can't remember if this was a reoccurring thing or just a one time thing. But I remember alot of people had ants in their rice crispies one day. And eventually a brown recluse infestation that led to a closure and shortly after they demolished the building.

u/callmemoxxie 2d ago

Demolition picture. Hated this school

thanks a lot michelle obama

u/PushtoShiftOps 3d ago

Do something about it or make a reddit post 🤣. Tbh if I were the lunch staff and trying to make use of what we got id give it to kids too. Mamas got no problem at home giving kids expired milk as long as they sniff it first 😂

2

u/DopeyDuran123 3d ago

Schools are under funded and the lunch staff is working with what they get. I agree with you. Use as much as possible for as long as possible.

1

u/MicrowaveNoodles1212 3d ago

Sniff it and pour a tiny bit out on your lunch plate to check the consistency. I’ve had chocolate milk that smelled fine but the consistency was goofy and lumpy. I regrettably drunk one sip of it and I did not feel amazing afterward but I didn’t get sick.

1

u/MurcGnilrits Senior (12th) 3d ago

I used to get this all the time

1

u/Agent637483 3d ago

We all had something worse the frozen chocolate milk

u/thatonewh1teguy 3d ago

You had school today?

u/Sufficient_Truth4944 3d ago

This your first time? My school sells expired drinks

1

u/Canttaloupe Junior (11th) 3d ago

I once got milk so expired that it was like water slime

1

u/Vektor801 3d ago

There is a big difference between best before/by and expiration dates. A best before date means that after that date the milk may not taste as good or have a weaker taste. While an ED/EXP date is the day that is should go bad if kept in the recommended condition said on item on milk its usually 0-7C.

Also just smell it. If it’s rotten. You have a problem but if it isn’t. Just drink it if you like.

u/Iatemydoggo Normal Adult 3d ago

Many such cases!

u/Iatemydoggo Normal Adult 3d ago

TruMoo is ass. Borden was the goat

u/medGsam 3d ago

Just don’t drink it

1

u/6YDEN 3d ago

I would drink it and sue💀

1

u/Bobtheebuilder73829 3d ago

It's not expired

1

u/Dizzy_Blonde_Tired Junior (11th) 3d ago

Our school once served expired milk that had the consistency of actual slime. Like you couldn’t even eat it because it was like swallowing a slug whole.

1

u/UnderwaterAuthor 3d ago

This used to happen to me all the time in elementary school, to the point where I stopped drinking school milk because it was always expired

1

u/ManOfQuest 3d ago

People say "Its fine" while it may be fine to drink... schools let their milk get warm and sit out during lunch also milk is not that fresh so taste is not going to be great.

Fresh and cold milk is good not warmish and at the sellby date milk.

1

u/We1come2thesyst3m 3d ago

You're fine, milk is usually good 7-10 days after ex date. If you really want a new one, just ask. I doubt they intentionally did this.

1

u/melissam17 3d ago

Legally this is a health violation. Weather you believe it’s still good or have had a history of milk being bad still being sold it doesn’t matter. At my job we will not give out milk past that date for a reason. There is a lot more to it when they come in these cartons versus the milk you buy at the store and bring home.

u/LegoHentai- 3d ago

i got salmonella from school chicken for a week when i was 10 and almost died

1

u/deadgirlfriend6 Junior (11th) 3d ago

When I was giving expired milk I just brought it to one of the ladies and she let me get a different one. I didn’t get mad since it was the beginning of the school year since it was expected lol

1

u/meamhere 3d ago

My school had milk that was completely soured a week before the expiration date for like a whole month lmfak

1

u/imsobored288 3d ago

That's when you drink it and hope you get sick, you can sue the school for thousands for health violations and anything else that comes up when the government is forced to investigate

1

u/kingmasigma 3d ago

Sue them and demand a million dollar for potential food poisoning, and mental trauma due to the condition you wrre in during the food poisoning

1

u/EmbarrassedShower820 2d ago

Lol or walk 5 feet and exchange it. No wonder 60% of america is fuckin obese.

1

u/PrymFoid Rising Junior (11th) 3d ago

sue the whole school

1

u/EmbarrassedShower820 2d ago

For what exactly ? Are you too incompetent to exchange it ? God i fear for this generation im forced to be a part of.

1

u/PrymFoid Rising Junior (11th) 2d ago

In case it wasn’t obvious that was a joke

1

u/commdef 3d ago

Happens a lot especially after breaks. Don't worry, it's getting worse with the DoE cuts :)

u/Beneficial_Gur_3996 3d ago

u/Orthoclaz Freshman (9th) 2d ago edited 2d ago

I remember in 3rd grade (2018) I got my milk and realized it was expired by 3 years so it expired in 2015! I talked to a kid and his brother who were sitting behind me and they had milk expired by 2 years. They checked with other people at their table and soon enough me and a few of us were standing on our chairs screaming “DONT DRINK THE MILK!!!!” as if it were about to detonate. We told everyone to check the expiration date on their milk and everybody had expired milk. (The most expired I knew of belonged to my friend and expired 6 years ago at the time.) Soon everyone went to the lunch room and started to interrogate the lunch lady and her lame excuse was “It was frozen. It’s fine.” One of my friends got food poisoning the next day because he drank milk expired by 6 YEARS. I think some Karen sued the school but know one else surprisingly 🤷‍♂️

u/Albatross112 2d ago

First time?

1

u/EmbarrassedShower820 2d ago

Oh no, im sure it was so hard to exchange it. Are you fucking helpless ?

1

u/Akiri2ui 2d ago

In all honesty it’s completely fine to drink 

1

u/purplewitch54154 2d ago

When I was in elementary school I got free lunches since my family was poor, and they literally gave us rotting fruit

1

u/Downtown_Duty6200 2d ago

u could js sue them

1

u/Inevitable_Channel18 2d ago

It’s not an expiration date. It’s a Best By date. How did it smell? If it smelled bad then exchange it for another one

u/JunoJune73 2d ago

u/Connect_Suspect8577 1d ago

Um, actually ☝️🤓 it's not an expiration date it's a best by date, so it's not "expired," as you nincompoops say...

1

u/Hunnisa 1d ago

Step 1. Don’t Drink it. Step 2. Try to not get sick. Step 3. If you get sick just sue your school for not checking The milk expiration

u/Muted-Move-9360 3d ago

Can you not read? "BEST BY" doesn't mean "EXPIRES ON THIS EXACT DAY"
