Cottage Cheese, anyone?
So I went to work out with Kam today at Gregory Gym, and we decide to mix up some protein shakes when we get home so I can continue my quest to get ripped like him. Kam tells me find some milk for the shakes because it tastes much better than mixing them with water. We’re in luck because I find some skim milk in our fridge with an expiration date of 9/02/05. Great! Kam puts some protein powder in the cup and I fill it up with milk, and he proceeds to mix the two together with his little protein shake mixer thing. He then tells me that they taste pretty bad so I’m better off chugging it as fast as I can. “OK”, I say, and chug half of the cup. Shit Kam, you weren’t kidding, these things taste pretty horrible. I hand the cup to Kam, he takes a tiny sip and agrees with me that this one tastes really horrible for some reason. He says, “Maybe the milk was about to expire?” to which I reply, “No way, not for a couple days”. I figure it wouldn’t hurt to try drinking a little milk from the jug to see if there’s any bitterness to it, so, confident that the milk is still good, I take myself a nice drink. It’s like somebody must have set the jug out in the sun for a couple hours because the milk almost had the consistency of cottage cheese. I spit the milk out of my mouth and began to feel sick as I realized that I just chugged half a cup of pureed rotten milk. I managed to not throw any of it up, and learned an important life lesson in the process. Moral of the story? Thoroughly inspect your milk before drinking it!
