I like milk in coffee and keep a can of the condensed stuff as a backup.
Ran out of milk the other morning and I punched a hole in the condensed
milk (in date) can and nothing came out. The contents shook like normal
liquid. I punched a larger hole in the can and when I shook it "chunky
style" milk glopped out. It had absolutely no smell to indicate it was
spoiled. I wondered if it had been overheated in processing or was the
residue in the canning machinery.
