      I think it’s used in a lot of ways that isn’t “drinking a glass of milk”. I suspect most milk is poured over cereal. It’s also used a lot in cooking, but insisting on raw milk to bake with seems especially weird.

        I hate dipping cookies in milk. It doesn’t coat the cookie it just makes it sloppy. It might as well be water.

            it must for other people because people swear by it

            For me though, it just tasted like I ran it under tap water.

              Might be a patience thing too? Most cookies will take some time to really absorb a meaningful amount of milk. Like Oreos take a good 10 seconds submerged. You can see bubbles as milk replaces air in the cookie.

              There are some rare cookies that will absorb the milk way faster, like Keebler Vienna Fingers will be soaked in like a couple of quick dunks.

      My family used to drink milk for dinner. We probably went through ten liters of milk in a week. The top third of the fridge was always reserved for milk.

      When i moved out i continued doing this for a while or eating cornflakes in milk, but eventually stopped because my adult body is not that fond of digesting milk. I eat crazy amounts of cheese though, but the well cured one that are low on lactose.

        I have 4 kids between 16 and 6. I buy 6x 3L bottles of milk at a time and it barely lasts a week.

      I’ll have carton of almond milk maybe a few times a year. A glass of cow milk maybe once every few years and it will probably be chocolate

      generally only when I’m going to do butt stuff, but also on special occasions like when I have chicken pox or when there’s a full lunar eclipse.
