Today, I discovered why the milk in my house has a funny, sweet taste. My family has been pouring the leftover milk from their cereal back into the carton. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was pouring milk into my coffee and, as it plooped into my mug, I noticed the expiration date on the jug passed two weeks ago. Nobody here drinks milk very often and I ran out of creamer, so I've been unknowingly drinking my coffee with curdled milk for the past three days. FML
Today, I learned there is a taste difference between grabbing a glass of milk that has been sitting on your night table for a week and the one you put on there 3 minutes before. FML
Today, my roommate thought that "sour milk" would taste like sour candy. She left a jug of milk out for two days, then took a huge gulp, vomited everywhere, and dropped the jug. Now the kitchen stinks of rotten dairy. FML
Today, I really wanted something to drink. I looked in the fridge, and found some of my grandma's soy milk. I took a swig, and instead of tasting soy, I tasted something rotten. Turns out my grandma knows I drink her soy milk, so she swapped it with expired chicken broth. FML
Today, I found out my mom put breast milk in my cereal until I was 7 years old. FML
Today, I found a small bottle of chocolate milk in the fridge from McDonald's. I've been living with my grandparents while going to college and figuring they'd never drink it themselves, I took a sip. It had expired two years ago. FML
Today, I saw my little brother drink from the milk carton, gag, and spit the milk back in. FML
Today, I decided to have cereal for breakfast. I poured the cereal in the bowl, added the milk and had a spoonful. Then I realized that my cereal was moving in the back of my mouth. FML
Today, I saw my mom changing the expiry date on milk. She genuinely thought this would make the milk sour later. FML
Today, I came home from a business trip and was greeted by a foul smell. I soon found out my husband accidentally let the milk go bad by leaving it out all day, then tried to solve the problem by "balancing the temperatures" by putting it in the freezer. Oh honey, no. Just no. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Put spicy sauce in the milk and have them taste their own medicine.

Before you go to bed, OP, I would think twice about using the family toothpaste,

Do they also spit the used mouthwash back into the container to save money?

That's a great idea! That's disgusting they are doing that to the milk OP.

Or green food dye. Then the milk is all yours!! Also works well in the office environment.

Habanero sauce should work!

Out of all the nasty shit on this site I think is one of the worst, besides the fml where that dude licks a cluster of zits, but that's just me.

Just pour less milk in your cereal but wait for it to soak in.

The sweet, sweet taste of recycling...

Recycling - they're doing it all wrong!!!

Mmmmm Cheerio milk....
DooleyFTW 17
Thats so ridiculous! It's not like you can even keep the milk long enough for that to be useful. Good thing nobody was eating coco pops!
Mister_Triangle 21
Coco Pops? The bastard child of Coco Puffs and Corn Pops? Last living heir to the General Mills fortune? It IS good they didn't eat him, otherwise the treasure would be lost forever

I dunno 33. Cocoa Pops is a pretty popular mainstream breakfast cereal here in Australia. And I haven't really heard of the two you mentioned. I think it's just a regional variation.

48, I think corn pops are rice bubbles in Australia.
DooleyFTW 17
Coco pops are popular in Ireland and Australia, rice bubbles as they're called in Australia are known as rice krispies in Ireland, brands vary all over the world.

Here in South Africa we have Coco Pops and Rice Krispies. I've never seen corn pops but I think we had a cereal that lasted a few years called coco puffs. Also, I wouldn't be too disturbed if I found out my family was putting their cereal milk back into the carton, unless there were bits of cereal going in too. What's so wrong with that?

Double dipping that there spoon, sonny. You've been with every person their spoons have ever been with
glittercookies 12
Double dipping helps transfer bacteria from a persons mouth to the milk. Then the milk is transferred back into the carton to breed more bacteria?

It spoils a lot quicker because of the germs. That's also why people should not drink from the carton either. Although I am guilty of doing that but I'm sure we all were when we were kids.

thought that was the best part of eating cereal!?!? Well not if it's other people's leftovers right?

Back washed milk... yummy! I always tip the bowl and drink my sweet marshmellowy left over milk. nom nom! I'm not eating at your house Op!

Oh the thought of cereal bits, saliva, all those germs in ones mouth before brushing your teeth in the morning, & spitting in the bowl just adds to the flavor!
