    I heard some pretty stupid shit working retail.

    “Where can I find the crunchy ice cream?”

    “Uh… Like, the Nestle Crunch bar ice creams?”

    “No, it was just plain vanilla ice cream. But crunchy.”


    “Do you guys have any sour cream that isn’t refrigerated?”


    “If this is only 2% milk, what is the other 98%?”


    Looking at a collection of LOTR books shortly after the first Peter Jackson film released

    “Wow! How do they already have 3 books of just 1 movie?”

          The 2% refers to the amount of fat in the milk. Whole milk is usually something like 3-4%. So 2% milk actually is the “other 98% of the milk” since they skimmed half the fat off. Milkfat is actually not bad for you either*, vitamin d is fat-soluble and taking the extra milkfat out can make it harder for you body to absorb it.

          Fat is also flavor, and when it comes to something like yogurt you have to put something else in so it won’t taste like shit. That something is usually sugar. For the same flavor yogurt its usually at least double the amount in the fat free variety. And it still tastes like shit if you ask me.

          *the dose is the poison, if you eat nothing but cheese you will die of congestive heart failure


          IME customers fucking hate it when you infodump on them when they ask questions like this

              Oh, cows are quite simple. They eat silage and turn it into milk, beef, methane, and more cows. Male cows don’t produce milk. Steers turn all the silage they eat into beef. Bulls turn 1% of what they eat into cum and the rest is used to produce pure, unadulterated rage.

          It’s just UHT. UHT dairy is very much legal in the US. And does not have to be refrigerated. It often is, because unrefrigerated milk makes US consumers uneasy. But it doesn’t have to be.

          I am aware that it’s less common than it is in Europe. But it’s not an unreasonable question.
