I inadvertently bought a bottle of milk which had the same day BBDate. My staff aged between 19 – 59 wouldn’t even open it to use it.
I explained what BBDates mean etc but there was no changing their minds. “I won’t drink rotten milk – I like fresh milk” was the response I got from the 59 year old. She wouldn’t smell or even look at the bottle once she saw the BBDate!
It astounds me that NZers appear to have lost the ability to sense and think for themselves.
Absolutely floors me that an adult doesn’t know how to sniff or look for signs of spoilage on everyday items.
