If this is only 2% milk, what is the other 98%?
Reminds me of 10% free

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?”
“Do you guys have any sour cream that isn’t refrigerated?”
How is that a stupid question?
Because unless it’s a powdered mix thing, sour cream (and almost all dairy) in the US is refrigerated.
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 make 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.

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%.” 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.
