I heard some pretty stupid shit working retail.
"Where can I find the crunchy ice cream?"
"Uh... Like, the Nestle Crunch bar ice creams?"
"No, it was just plain vanilla ice cream. But crunchy."
"Do you guys have any sour cream that isn't refrigerated?"
"If this is only 2% milk, what is the other 98%?"
Looking at a collection of LOTR books shortly after the first Peter Jackson film released
"Wow! How do they already have 3 books of just 1 movie?"
Did you ever find out what the first person was looking for? Is crunchy vanilla an actual thing or did they just want ice cream with larger ice crystals?
Likely not real ice cream, but the cheaper (and more common) ice milk - it has a lower fat content, so more water, and in certain conditions ice crystals do form into small chunks.
Lemme at the guy about the milk, lemme at him, I wanna explain some shit to that guy, hey guy how much fuckin time you got pal, I wanna tell you about how cows work
I wanna know how cows work
The 2% refers to the amount of fat in the milk. Whole milk is usually something like 3-4%. So 2% milk actually is the "other 98% of the milk" since they skimmed half the fat off. Milkfat is actually not bad for you either*, vitamin d is fat-soluble and taking the extra milkfat out can make it harder for you body to absorb it.
Fat is also flavor, and when it comes to something like yogurt you have to put something else in so it won't taste like shit. That something is usually sugar. For the same flavor yogurt its usually at least double the amount in the fat free variety. And it still tastes like shit if you ask me.
*the dose is the poison, if you eat nothing but cheese you will die of congestive heart failure
IME customers fucking hate it when you infodump on them when they ask questions like this
No, I know how milk works, I wanna know how cows work
Oh, cows are quite simple. They eat silage and turn it into milk, beef, methane, and more cows. Male cows don't produce milk. Steers turn all the silage they eat into beef. Bulls turn 1% of what they eat into cum and the rest is used to produce pure, unadulterated rage.
I wish to know more about silage
It's like a fermented mash of grain and grass. It's a good way to turn corn into better feed. Unfortunately that's as much as your getting out of me while I'm hung over.
Aw yeah, that's the stuff
TBH like a half of those questions is something I could ask when I was younger, and the other half might have been asked by my friends when they were high. I hope I didn't upset the retail workers too much...
Its less upsetting and more baffeling
Like I'm not mad, usually confused and intrigued by the question.
Unless you're being a dick about it.
Reminds me of 10% free
How is that a stupid question?
https://www.finefoodgroup.com/tool/en/products/cheese-and-sour-cream/che/sour-cream-uht/cd04a
Because unless it's a powdered mix thing, sour cream (and almost all dairy) in the US is refrigerated for food safety. They were not looking for a powder or mix.
It's just UHT. UHT dairy is very much legal in the US. And does not have to be refrigerated. It often is, because unrefrigerated milk makes US consumers uneasy. But it doesn't have to be.
I am aware that it's less common than it is in Europe. But it's not an unreasonable question.
Every question is unreasonable if you hate people.
