Excuse me, Le Baron - I did the unforgivable mistake of copying my own answer in on top of your message (which was longer than the quote below), which is one risk moderators can run when they have stopped thinking.Kullman wrote:(...) usually without any added flavour,

Interesting that it's cheaper than fresh milk. Here they're pretty much the same price now. In fact the bio UHT whole milk is 3 cents dearer than the bio fresh whole milk from the same brand! I can use a 500ml carton well before 7 days (well before 5 days).
Last time I visited South Eastern Asia almost all UHT milk (the only kind I saw) had some added flavour, and without that I would be sceptical about drinking the stuff. You
can buy UHT milk in Denmark, but the only kind I would buy is chocolate milk - and unfortunately that's also just about the only kind you can get, at least in half or whole liters. And I wouldn't bother to buy less - I can gulp down 500ml in one go, and that's what I do when I'm travelling because I can do it while walking from one sight to another.
One thing that bothers me is that almost all yoghurts here have the same added flavours - and strawberry probably takes up half the market because of institutions and other users of shopping lists. Sometimes another flavour pops up for a limited period, and you can also always get things like 'forest fruits' or'peach melba' (plus 'nothing' which tastes really bad), but I remember with fondness the other kinds I have tasted around the world. Like the assembly below which I bought during my stay in Kosice in Slovakia a few years ago. As for milk: I wouldn't mind at all if I could get the same gamut of tastes in UHT milk - plus green spearmint.
