OK, these questions are for just the really smart guys
I'm fixin' my coffee this mornin' and these questions start to bug me. So I thought I'd share.
I like my morning coffee. Sometimes black. Usually with half and half. The half and half has a long self life. Much longer than milk.
Why would it last longer?
The half and half has a "shake well" instruction on the carton. It doesn't say "shake well before use" and it doesn't say "shake well often" and it doesn't say "shake well every time you pick up the carton".
How often is shaking is needed? Once? Every time? (I know, first world problem.)
I'm sure there's some settling of the contents but, how often you would need to shake would depend on how fast it settles, right? I hate vague instructions. Kind of like "salt to taste", which in my case usually means "salt until you realize you've added too much salt".

I am going to send you some of my meds, green on top. Now, don't take the ones that are white on top.
I know you have been going through some busy and hectic times and I figure this is the best way to help.
Maybe you should shake it "some".
What if you're not sure if you really need them yet, but take them and realize you didn't really need them?
On another note, the milk over here in Afghanistan is "shelf stable" and doesn't need refrigeration until opened. The stuff in the DFAC now expires in November.
