There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

In Canada we call whole milk "homo milk" and I agree double is wild.
I honestly found that hard enough to believe that I looked it up
.....are you okay over there canada..?
It's just shorthand for Homogenization. Idk why we only call 3.25% milk fat homo milk however. Might not apply to anyone east of Manitoba either.
It's likely because 3.25% is just what comes out of a cow (on average) the other percentages all require other adjustments before they get homogenized.
In Ontario so, we do too.
That's interesting, I wasn't sure if it was like bagged milk not being a country wide thing.
Homogenized. Its more about the fat blended in to stay in solution rather than the actual fat percentage.
