Rancid

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

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

Platypus

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