    Man, forget about culture, this thing’s got a straight up society in there.

    Whoever is interested in buying old milk could easily make their own for cheap, but if they’re in a hurry to get it, $1 is waaaay too cheap.

    (I’m going to switch to euro units.) It probably costs more in rent and electricity to keep a jug of milk stored in the fridge for 5 years.

    Let’s say you rent a small cheap apartment with 50 sqm. for let’s say 400€ monthly somewhere in a small rural European town. That’ll be €24000 for five years. The fridge takes up 1 of the 50 sqm., so that’s €480. Can a fridge contain 480 jugs of chocolate milk? Nuh uh.

    A standard fridge could maybe hold 200 liters. The jug in the picture looks like half a gallon, or 2 liters, so it could hold 100 jugs. The rent alone would then be €4.8 to produce a five year old gallon of old chocolate milk and this idiot is selling it for $1. What a fool.

      That’s the cost of manufacturing if it were the only thing that was done at that location. But you can consider this to be a byproduct of living there, so the costs are made for those purposes, not letting the milk sit.

    Reminds me of how the savage Scandinavians would let fish rot in the sun to increase their flavor

    It’s fine, you just have to mix it up and simmer at ~37 °C for three days.
