I worked in maintenance at a Borden's milk plant earlier in life. You probably now know why I always had at least one full change of clothes with me at work! For instance, if the gallon casing machine microswitches miscounted and allowed 5 gallons of milk to accumulate before the machine operated (they squeezed 4 gallon containers together with air pressure and lifted them into a case), then the maintenance mechanic would get soaked with 5 gallons of milk! Which, in the warm bottling room, would sour in about 5 minutes.

There used to be a part of El Lay County called Dairy Valley. They incorporated and changed their name to Cerritos later. You could smell the waste milk as you drove through it. It was really bad, even with the windows rolled up. We used to drive through there to get to a drag strip, but I can't remember the name.

Your mistake was not emptying it right away....not tossing it in there!

My ex came home from grocery shopping once complaining the gallon of milk she bought was missing. She found it under her car seat a month later, guess why????

We built our house in 1987. sitting in the basement was a five gallon bucket of paint left over I thought. 15 years later I decided to see what color of paint was in the bucket and thinking it was not good anymore. WOW it did stink. It was sheet rock mud.
