"2 milk" news and stories

You've probably had this happen to you. You've just made yourself a nice cup of tea or coffee and you go into the fridge to get the milk and you open it and it has gone bad. So you have to put on your shoes and jacket and head out to the store to get more.

That's what happened to me today. My fat free milk went bad and smelled like...vinegar or something else that milk shouldn't smell like. So I had to go out into the rain and walk up the street to the convenience store.

I'm still not sure why it went bad so quickly. The date on it was May 2. My roommate has a jug of 2% milk with a date of May 1 and that's still fine. Does milk go bad quicker if it has less fat in it?
