Where the hell did you find a 3 gallon jug of milk!?

that'd be anywhere between 6 to 24 bags of milk good sir

Cataclysm: DDA spilled into reality.

Now seriously, it was twelve 1-liter cartons.

How the hell does one household go through 4 gallons of milk before they go bad? Let alone one person?

[LordSlowpoke]

5 gallons is actually a respectable amount of milk to go through before they go bad now that we have pasteurization and stuff

Pasteurized milk actually lasts pretty long, at least until you open it, and I bought the last 3 gallons of milk almost exactly a month ago - I went through all but two cartons by now.

EDIT: I just checked, the batch I bought right now isn't supposed to go bad until April (again, if it's opened it's probably less).

[LordSlowpoke]

suspend it in mineral oil and hope for the best?

Hey guys,
Any of you know a cheap,easy way to preserve dead biomatter (leaves and insects) so it doesn't dry out/wither?

If so, I just had an awesome idea.

Formaldehyde?

... you folks must be using a different method of pasteurization than they have in my area, then. Even unopened and cooled a thing of milk lasting over a month, maybe a month in a half, is a pretty serious anomaly.

Personally, I can't even manage to drink a half gallon before it goes bad. I've pretty much just stopped drinking the stuff because of that

Vodka would probably work too.

If you can afford enough Vodka to preserve dead biomatter, you can afford to heat it up with burning dollars.

Probably better to use rubbing alcohol or somethin' if you're going that route. S'considerably cheaper, last I checked, and probably better at doing what the vodka is intended to do. Wouldn't be particularly surprised if you couldn't find bulk containers normally sold to medical facilities or somethin', either.

Seriously though, look up flower pressing and, wuzzit, butterfly pinning something-something. There's probably techniques among practitioners of those hobbies for preserving leaves and insects. Less sure about doing it without stuff drying out, but... eh.

While I may not be Christian one thing I can be happy for is that, in two years ish, my dad might be the next pastor of our church.

They also might be getting better milk. My new roommates recently introduced me to fancy organic milk, which inexplicably lasts much longer than the normal milk I usually buy.

This has made me very disappointed in the preservatives in my normal milk, because they're clearly not doing their job very well.

See, there are ORGANIC preservatives in your new milk. Everything ORGANIC is inherently better. Not like those filthy mineral untercompounden.
