Why not get a smaller container of milk?There's only three of us in the household, so we often can't finish a gallon of milk before the expiration date. Usually, this means I'll pick up a fresh gallon when the old one hits the expiration date.
I blame Cosmo that after I pick up a fresh gallon, I can't convince my dad to stop drinking the expired milk. I don't care that the expired milk doesn't taste off yet. The new milk is slowly ticking towards its future expiration date; while he's drinking expired milk now, there will be that much more milk left in the newer gallon when its expiration date arrives.
I also blame Cosmo that throwing out the expired milk makes Dad grumpy.
I also also blame Cosmo that Dad bypassing the fresh milk to drink expired milk drives me nuts.

I tried that. As of this afternoon, we have less than a quarter of milk in the gallon jug that expired Sept. 9th. The newer jug I bought was a half-gallon, which has now also expired on Sept. 19th. Dad is still drinking from the 9/9 jug. Normally even the 9/9 jug would have been used up by now, but the day I bought it, Mom abruptly announced she wasn't going to drink milk anymore because it made her phlegmy.
ლ(ಠ益ಠ)ლ Y U do dis, Cosmo?!
If you lived in Wisconsin you could drink it straight from the cow's teet.

I also tried that yesterday:
Me: "Would you like me to make some blueberry muffins?"
Mom: "Would you be putting milk in them?"
Me: "Just a little, a 1/3 cup."
Mom: "No, milk makes me phlegmy."
Me: "Well, that eliminates making chocolate pudding too."
Dad volunteered to eat the pudding. I got Mom almond milk yesterday for her cereal, and she still takes her daily calcium citrate + D3, so she's still getting her RDA.
I blame Cosmo that it took me this long to give up on the damn milk.

PedantQuaker unbidden comes along to point out, which apologies in advance for pedantry:
1) Milk is marked with a sell by date. Milk's sell by date is just that. It is the date by which the milk should be *sold*. It should not be confused with a *use by* date, which is the date by which a foodstuff should be consumed. A sell by date indicates milk (or any other product with a sell by date) is still good for at least one week past the date stamped upon it.2) Sorry, but Dad is right. Milk is a product where if it tastes fine, it is fine. There is no secret evil usually developing within it that is undetectable.
3) Spoiled milk is in fact mostly harmless (unless it's actually MOLDY--like you can see blue/green stuff in it--in which case it absolutely must be discarded). It can make some, but not most, people's stomach temporarily, mildly upset due to the sugar breakdown, and the smell/taste is of course unpleasant to most (people who say spoiled milk made them sick is due to the gag reflex being triggered due to the smell). But the lactobacillus that cause the icky smell/taste/curdling won't hurt you in a disease-causing sense--they are the same bacteria that participate, sometimes among others, in making cheese (spoiled milk is really just pre-cheese that has been poorly controlled for flavor). While no one usually wants to drink spoiled milk because it tastes bad, it will not give you foodborne illness.
4) Spoiled milk is excellent for cooking and baking, and can be used as a substitute for buttermilk (which is a similar product without the curd in it, because the curd has been turned into butter) in any recipe that calls for it. It makes great pancakes and biscuits among other things.
5) Switching to almond milk is great, but the chocolate pudding it makes isn't as good.
I blame Cosmo for making me pedantic, and making me research food shelf life for this book I'm working on.

Oh, also, I blame Cosmo for the $1,200 of car repairs I had to get and that it's still in the shop because the effing check engine light won't shut off. The car *knows* I was starting to think about replacing it within the year (because Cosmo told it, obviously) and it decided to rebel before I could actually get anywhere close to having time to look for a new one.
ETA: it's also totally Cosmo's fault and not mine that I also managed to scrape the fender on the loaner vehicle the mechanic gave me to get to a doctor's appointment so I now also get to pay for repairing a car that isn't mine.
And also I have upcoming jury duty too. That I don't mind as much.

Milk is a product where if it tastes fine, it is fine.
I should add to all of the above "if pasteurized and not tampered with." Raw milk has its fans, but there is a reason we started pasteurizing milk and having it FDA approved, and it wasn't just to ruin the fun for weird hipster foodies.

I Blame Cosmo for the travails I experienced on the way home from game both on Friday night and Saturday night...
Friday night I used a map app and was continuously directed to closed roads. Those who don't better would probably figure because it was late at night the app was not getting enough info from other users to update route info...I know better it was Cosmo's doing.
Than on Sat on the way home I decided not to use it...and due not having it on to remind and being distracted by conversation with my passenger I mixed my exit and ended up in another state. Of course Cosmo caused my passenger to be distracting to cause me to miss my exit.
Thanks Cosmo! :(

I blame Cosmo that West Coasters just don't understand East Coast geography.
The closest border to me is 180 miles away. That's one heck of a missed exit!
Bonus Trivia: The farthest border from me is just a skosh over 500 miles, so borders just aren't things we think about around here...
I would blame Cosmo for almost missing the exit getting back home...but honestly I'd rather blame PenDot! *shakes his fist* They a truly a force of disorder, chaos and probably evil.

Do not erroneously confuse the lack of observable phenomena as the lack of malevolent machinations. He Who Must Be Blamed works wheels within wheels within wheels; it's turtles Cosmo all the way down, man.
I blame Cosmo that you had to be reminded of this.
I also blame Cosmo that this whole line of inquiry has brought us both to Cosmo's attention, and now we're both just too tall dandelions waiting obliviously for The Mowing Yet To Come.

I Blame Cosmo for Christmas Stress. It's supposed to be the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year™." But with having to shop for people without telling them what you are getting and hoping it's right, family expectations of a magical ideal that is impossible to make, and the massive amount of effort involved, it never lives up to the billing. So as a great commentator on Christmas once said, "Bah! Humbug!" >:p
