Milk and it's expiration dates. Options

[*My Cinderella.*]

So, I've found it very odd how milk comes with 2 expiration dates. For those of you who have it, you know how they give you 2 expiration dates? (one for NYC and one for other.) If you live in NYC which one do you follow?

As for me...I always follow the general one. I never understood the NYC one. If you lived 30 seconds away from NYC, would you follow the NYC expiration date or the other one?

We only have one date. Milk's usually good a few days past the expiration date though. The reason it usually goes bad is the bacteria in the milk. It's kind of gross to think about it, because you can taste when milk is older verses when it's fresh... and to think that taste is the pooh of the bacteria.
