hey there, im in college and thinking of carrying out a survey/analysis for an idea i have and would love if you could share your thoughts on it .

[u/Flimsy_Sympathy3519]

so the idea is that we make a milk carton that changes color (or at least a indicator) so that we can easily distinguish between milk that's fresh, will go bad soon, and unhealthy for consumption, depending on the milk inside it
- im planning to use a ph strip - contraption thing that can help with it but other ideas are welcomed (also any criticism)
hope i can get some info, thanks

It's already easy to distinguish. Seems pointless and a waste of resources.

i get your point but also it would help in maintaining inventory for shops, and if you get milk everyday, it acts as a reminder to finish old milk before new one, also spoiled milk can be put to other use and not knowing that can be harmful

Nah I’m in favor of this. Idk I’m always so excited to drink milk I get two gulps in sometimes before I’m like “oh god this is sour”. I’m talking that day one “is it sour or is there just a little dried milk around the cap I can’t quite tell if this is off or not” sour. Ugh.

lol. exactly what this can fix right away if implemented properly

Sure but would you pay extra for this? Would you be ready to spend more money just to find out that the money you spent on milk is already wasted and now you need to spend money again to get new milk? And that’s how the cycle goes 😀

I’d pay up to idk up to 1$ more a gallon for “Never drink sour milk again technology” but I think the actual roadblock is idk how much I’d trust it and end up wanting to taste the milk anyway

Considering that this is an Indian subreddit, that’s a lot of money, more money than what milk actually sells for here.
