Shake the milk before you pour it?

The days of real milk with cream on the top are long gone.
Generations now have no idea what real milk tastes like.
It is now, basically, white water.

Yes, out of old habit. Still smell it to see if sour after that before pouring it on something.

Not now, but back in the day we got our milk from a farmer down the road and unless you like clots of cream floating on your milk, shaking was necessary.

No, but I will shake chocolate milk.

The habit is so bad, the other day I shook it still halfway in the refrigerator with a cap half on.

The kitchen floor, cupboard, countertop, and myself took on a new color, BROWN.

I 'm a idiot.

Unless the milk you drink isn't homogenized, there is no reason to shake it. The cream will not separate from the milk.

Grew up on a farm where the cream sat 2-4" on the top of a gallon milk pulled from the tank. Unpasteurized and unhomogenized and it was the best. Our family all drank it daily with no early heart disease and low cholesterol, I guess we were lucky.

However, to this day I shake the half gallon of skim, organic milk every time I get it out to fill a glass.

No need to shake any milk you buy at the grocery, that cream never saw the inside of the carton.

Now milk I get from the farm, I let it sit so cream can rise and pour off into separate glass container.
