Today, my boyfriend made me breakfast because I had a cold. Because my nose was so stuffed, I couldn't tell that our milk had gone bad. I had two cups. And now I'm stuck on the toilet. FML

Am I the only one that checks the use by date? Plus couldn't you taste it?

Because she couldn't tell. her nose was clogged, which messed with her taste buds.

How did your boyfriend not notice it? Does he have a cold too? Anyway, get well soon!

The taste should have been your first clue, if your smell was off The chunks should have been your next clue Sit long and proud on that throne my friend

When I have a cold, I can't smell OR taste anything. I'm guessing the same is true of the OP. But yes, the lumps should have been a good indication.

Doesn't milk get kinda lumpy when it starts to go bad? How did you not notice?

It depends on how far past the expiration date the milk is.

first it sours, then gets over sweet, finally lumpy

Milk increases mucus - not the best thing when you have super congestion, OP! Stick to orange juice and lemon tea :)

How many idiots are going to blame the girl for not being able to taste the milk despite her self-proclaimed inability to smell?

You can. Just not as strongly.

#51 not true in all cases. My husband for instance only has the basic sweet, sour, etc "tastes" when his nose is clogged. He hates eating during those times.

He's a keeper if he made you breakfast . Good intensions, but bad judgement on spoiled food products .

You can taste when milk goes bad... How did you have two cups without being able to tell?

Taste is 3/5 smell. Try eating an apple while holding a cut onion to your nose and you'll find out how important it is.

i don't know about the OP, but when I am sick I barely have a tastebud. like if I eat a cookie it would taste plain as hell.

Maybe I'm weird but I can still taste things no matter how stuffy I am. Not as strongly as before, but there is still taste.

Besides 3/5 means that some of it doesn't rely on smell, so what would that mean? That op could have tasted some of if

Stick to clear liquids, sure - but for those saying 'shouldn't you be able to taste it' - no, not if your sense of smell is gone. Taste is closely linked to smell.

Stuffy nose or not, I can't see how you wouldn't notice it tastes bad. How far past the date was it? Because if you were chewing the milk you should have known better.

There have been plenty of times when my allergies get bad and I can't smell/taste anything.
