Depends where in the world one lives. Originally, before the name
changed to evaporated milk it was called condensed milk (change was do
to changes in the manufacturing process and from other manufacturers
joining the fray and mergers, but the resultant product is the same).
In many parts of the world and in many parts of the US (typically
Hispanic areas) it's still labeled condensed milk. If it's "Sweetened
Condensed Milk one wants then the product must be marked "Sweetened
Condensed Milk". Could just as easily be called "Sweetened Evaporated
Milk" but because mostly Hispanic populations use the SWEETENED version
and they are more familiar with the older/original "Condensed" format
it is called Sweetened Condensed Milk rather than Sweetened Evaporated
Milk. We've discussed this here many times over the years, and I've
often posted links to the history of these products, so I'm surprised
at how you of all people (you've been here forever) choose not to
remember... I say "choose" because I'd not want to be cited for
implying that you are suffering from senile dementia. hehe
