  because it tastes like actual milk that’s been filtered through a used diaper

    Whoever is using those diapers probably has diabetes then, because it’s making the milk taste sweeter.

  I don’t drink it bc it’s nasty but it’s always in the cold part of the grocery stores here.

    The point of UHT is that it keeps for months at room temperature until open, the only point I can see of selling it refrigerated is because people there expect it.

    No idea how it can taste “nasty” to you though, I get that it’s a bit different, slightly sweeter, but cold out of the fridge I’m not convinced everyone could tell them apart, let alone if you’re pouring it into cereals or for cooking/baking.

      100% you can tell the difference. I’ve been vegan for several years and I can still smell a difference (I work as a barista, there’s a lot of milk). The first time I had UHT Milk, I thought it was flavored, because it’s significantly sweeter to me. I could never get used to it and found it unpleasant.

        OK, fair. They are different, and it’s especially noticeable at room temperature and more so if warm.

        I find it much harder to notice the difference if it’s cold, and almost impossible if I’m mixing it with tea or coffee or cereals, but some people might just be more sensitive than I am.

      Sorry, I meant that all milk is nasty. I’ve never liked it. The film it leaves, the aftertaste, it’s all bad to me. So, if there’s a difference between the the things you’re describing, I wouldn’t know it.

        Ah that makes sense, I thought you were making a distinction between UTH and HTST - they’re different, but for someone who doesn’t like milk they’re the same thing.

  Boxed… milk?

  I’m honestly not sure if that’s worse than bagged milk

    Boxes as in the typical tetrapaks. They’re very much like the regular milk cartons I’ve seen sold in the US, and basically built the same way but have an additional very thin aluminum foil layer in between the cardboard and plastic, to provide a more complete barrier against light and oxygen, and nowadays they even sell them with screw caps and what not.

    Either option still seems much better than plastic jugs to me, that just screams liquid laundry detergent or motor oil to me.
