It is one of the most easily absorbed sources of calcium.
I have trouble keeping weight on and as I get older I am just not that hungry. I don’t eat as much meat or cheese as I used to, but I do consume a lot of leafy greens, yogurt, and beans.
Milk works for me because it doesn’t fill me up as much.
Like most wedding stuff, kind of lame.Was it fun?
I missed my dog. And my husband a bit.

I used to think this too, and still do for many things.
BUT there is one practical plus for english units-
For everyday measurements of volume, its just doubling, which is really easy to comprehend. Two cups in a pint, two pints in a quart, 4 quarts in a gallon. So you always know one measure is twice as much as the other.
Its harder to deal with a liter being ~8 cups, because you only break it down into ml which are thousandths. Harder to noodle, no shorthand when cooking etc. 100ml , 250ml, etc. Its just a little trickier imho for most people.
I think if they invented a measurement name which was 125ml (roughly a cup) and broke it up from there with other names, it would help w everyday acceptance.

People who complain about their wives wearing revealing shirts around the house?
Nice humble brag. JK. I’m only joking of course. But good on you my man.
In golf, we have technology to track your exact distance on every shot, club speed, ball speed, slope of the greens, etc., but I still constantly have to look for my ball and lose a half dozen a round. Just make each ball $10 and let me have a chance to find it!

While some parts of imperial measurements are slightly weird, the subdivisions make sense from a time when things weren't as mass produced for measuring. Halving/Quartering/Doubling things is way easier than trying to take multiples of 10 or 100 or 1000 of something.
I also like to say that the people who complain about the weird increments and converting in imperial units compared to metric just suck at math. Not my fault you can't do simple math. (I kid... kind of).
I'm not a big fan of chocolate in my milk but it is an excellent recovery drink.
Let's just call it milk defamation! Message boards are an interesting category when looking at slander versus libel.I will not stand for milk slander.
Two things for packaging...
First, in this day and age of "frustration free" packaging, some companies still use thick plastic packaging that requires a cutting instrument and/or tearing to open, resulting in multiple plastic pieces that are surgical grade sharp.
Second, cardboard packaging that tears opens anywhere but the scored lines where said cardboard is supposed to tear open.

It's basically just overfeeding and/or over spending.
Someone some time saw the potential and rolled with it.
