[edit] Rancid

Pastorised milk doesn't turn sour. It turns rancid. A sour milk CAN be eaten. A rancid one absolutely not.

[edit] commercial endorsements?

I question the inclusion of " Famous brands of milk". Since for the most part milk is milk (with "raw milk" a signifigant exception), that seems to be more a marketing topic than a milk topic. Is there a wikipedia policy on commercial endorsements? --NealMcB 18:22, 2004 May 26 (UTC)

Not entirely true. There are many dairies that sell milk by brand (sometimes even still offering delivery). Grocery store milk is pretty much a commodity but specialty milk certainly a different story. Rmhermen 13:52, May 27, 2004 (UTC)

If a brand produces a signifigantly different product, then that should have its own article, which would contain companies who market the product. I am not a milk expert, and cannot think of any 'special milk' product like this, besides Blue Milk from Lars Inc ;)

You seem to agree that this is a marketing topic. Unless the brands are listed along with an explanation of how their milk differs, I think we should drop them or move them to something like "marketing of milk" --NealMcB 01:38, 2004 May 31 (UTC)

If these brands should be included, which is questionable, especially considering they are primarily american, it should be under the dairy article, not the milk article

[edit] Platypus

As the history comment asks, monotremes are indeed mammals. See Platypus for verification. Shane King 12:40, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)
