A set of three outside, and a set of three in the fridge. The milks varied in their fat content, (whole, 2%, skim) and I tried to deecipher what effect the different fat contents made on the life of the milk's freshness. Basically I just watched milk spoil and get gross. It was fun.

and then you ran a blindfolded taste test?

The effects of the milk spoiling manifest themselves both in a visual and olfactive sense (buuh dum pishhh). The moment it starts to go bad it will form a ring around the the vessel. I know what you're thinking, its because of evaporation. this is true only for a short while, then a film will form on top, yellowish in color, thats when you know for sure. The time from when it tastes bad and is bad for you, to a physical change in the consistensy of the milk takes no time at all. The next year my project was also milk related. I made an organic glue out of it, forget what the recipe was.

It's all mental, hold your nose and drink it and you'll be fine.

If it smells like cheese or feet generally....then it's time to pour away.

Sour milk is one of the most disgusting things ever to drink...

I guess I'm more anal than most. I usually don't drink it even 1 day past the sell-by date and sometimes stop drinking it before that if its been open and starts to smell wierd. It may not make you sick, but why drink the stuff after it starts tasting bad?
