Default Developments in Milk Bottles

I dont know if this is common where you're from, but it's new here.

There is this brand of milk you can buy, and they have combined the ideas of home pregnancy kits with the bottle, so that when the milk goes off, the chemical reaction makes the bottle turn green.

I thought it was pretty cool.

I could definately use some of that milk. I can never tell when milk goes bad (unless its really disgustingly bad), because milk always SMELLS bad to me. So it could be perfectly good milk, but smell rotten to me. Damn nose.

thats a really cool idea...

as long as they dont rig it so that it turns green a few days before it goes bad... like the epson printer cartridges that have ink in them but the sensor in the top says that they are empty

Yeah this is very true. I work in the dairy industry and people have different ideas about when exactly milk has "gone bad"

how do you work in the dairy industry?

i used to work in a grocery store and they would just replace the 3 month old milk's date tag with a recent date tag belonging to a broken bag. they also scratched out the date on a 5 month old container of cream cheese. by any definition thats fucked

I work in research for a big dairy company. I just meant that some people will drink milk a day or two after others would throw it out, and I would assume that it would be in the companys interest to make it turn green as soon as possible so people consume more milk.

That grocery store does sound fucked up.

so is the date on the bag meant to be taken literally or is it the generally proposed date of expiration? what kinda slack do you have in terms of days? is that why you have a cow in your avatar? also why do cows have spots? and are you a cow? literally or figuratively

one last question, i see you live in new zealand and you have a goat in your avatar. can you confirm for me what i heard a while ago: that new zealand is actually having a serious problem with minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, not from cars or anything, but from their huge flocks of sheep farting too much. sounds stupid, but im pretty sure this is true

its actually from burping, not farting.

http://www.wired.com/news/technology...,39654,00.html

WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- Think climate change, think sheep. It's not the most obvious link but it's one that scientists in agricultural nations have to make.

The Kyoto Protocol -- the 1997 addition to the United Nations climate change treaty -- commits signatories, among them New Zealand and France, to limiting their greenhouse-gas emissions. So, in New Zealand and France, two groups of scientists have been finding out how to reduce the methane that sheep and cattle produce.

In New Zealand, an estimated 43 percent of New Zealand's greenhouse gases are methane and almost all of that comes from the country's 40 million sheep and 10 million cows. In France, 15 percent of that country's methane emissions come from the country's ruminant stock.

Yeah thats true. The problem is mainly from cows, the government was all set to impose a tax on emissions from animals but there was a big backlash from the farmers and they backed down.
Our animals probably release less gas in total than many other countries but as a percentage of our size it is a pretty huge amount. And we signed up for the kyoto protocol thingy unlike you fuckers so we have to watch our shit in this respect.

Great, now that we have that out the way, care to clear this one up for me?

I heard New Zealand has a problem with regards to the molestation of various farm animals, specifically but not limited to sheep (and that goat in your avatar has quite a big grin).

So whats that one about?
