Milk in primary school, did it taste different to you??????

You may think this is a strange question, but does anyone think the milk we had in primary school tasted/tastes different to regular milk we get in the shops?
I remember it tasting so much nicer, I have tried alot of milks from red top to blue and gold top but none taste the exact same or as nice. If you know of or have tasted a milk called cravendale, its a similar taste to that but has much more flavour!
Anyone know why?
Or is this just in my crazy little head? Lol.
Well let me know! Thank you! :smile:

I think it was just because it was UHT milk, like in the little pots you get in coffee shops. I reckon it tastes a bit sweeter.
Yeah it did
It was sort of sweeter?
Used to enjoy finishing it all off and then opening the corners of the box and squishing it flat
I was a weird child

Hmmm, I cant really remember them tasting the same, im sure the school milk tasted ABIT fresher then thoughs and I wouldnt say the school milk was that sweet? Do YOU think they taste the same then? Will have to taste one of them little milks again to compare lol. UHT?.. What does that stand for?

Maybe its a psychological thing
Where it probably tastes the same
But I think it tastes different as I associate it with playtime and childhood nostalgia

My school didn't give out milk :frown:
The article was written in 2001 though, regarding a new idea, not facts on a pre existing one

It's because it's rats milk, The Simpsons said so :tongue:
I wonder if any teachers could tell us the answer to this?
Do kids even still drink milk in schools or is it against health and safety now or something as silly as that lol.
Anyone know any primary school teachers they could ask?...
