Don't get me wrong, it does become undrinkable after a while, but it is bloody ages!
Never seems to get that dodgy smell and never seems to go lumpy! What is it made from?! |

Go off? How does milk go off? I think you mean spoil or go bad.
Your refrigerator temp must be just over freezing because my milk goes bad after a few days in the fridge. |

No, I mean milk has never gone off (thanks for your patronising advice, colonial).
No, fridge is normal temp. Must be the Jeju milk. Haenyeos are much fresher. |

I believe it's fresh non-Homo milk and it will stay fresh like up until the day it turns to a thick lumpy sludge. Some brands smell funny from the day you buy it. My favorite brand is ESL, uh, I mean Einstein. |

Think of where half-life comes from, and you're on your way to your answer. |

Is it UHT milk? That stuff can keep for absolutely ages. |

So wait, this happens to all the milk in Korea? I buy lactose-free milk here, which usually takes a while to go bad anyway. |

yeah I by the lactose free stuff as well, I have some stuff a month past it's use by date and no lumps (it's a science experiment). Back in New Zealand a few days past and you can bet lumps |

Mine's just the standard 제주 우유. I live, and possibly die, by it.
I also have had stuff well past its sell-by-date, and lumps never seem apparent, nor do nasty smells.
Has Korea conquered its lactose-intolerance, by selling milk, that isn't milk? |
