The Milk Cartons are Different!

At the time that I am writing this, which is Nov 28, 2022, the milk cartons at lunch have changed size and color, and maybe even company. I’ve tried the new milk and I don’t see much difference in the milk, but no one knew that it was changing, and no one knows why it changed. Last week from now I was getting some milk and I saw the new milk cartons in there and I was very confused about why it was in there because the cartons had not yet changed. I think of it as just a change with no one (Student) knowing ahead of time, but it is still a little abrupt with no announcement. This reminds me of when our lunch trays changed to a cardboard kind of material for just a week, but maybe this change in the look or even company will stay for the rest of the year. Hopefully, we will know why, or it may remain a mystery. I have heard people complain about the taste, saying that it doesn't taste as good as the original milk. Personally, I agree, but hopefully this is only a short change. Now it is Jan 17, 23 and the cartons have changed back to normal but no one knows why, still. It may remain a mystery forever but I do know that there will surely be more abrupt unexplained changes in the future.
