What a great idea for a vending machine! I wish we had more around here, with that sort of thing in them...

Yeah it's cool! There's a video above it that explains how it's a better deal for the farmer and stuff and how it's fresh. The explanatory sign is because most of the people here are used to UHT milk so don't know what to do with "fresh" milk :) It recommends drinking it fresh, for hot chocolate, for baking pastries and general cooking :) 1L for €1 is pretty good value too!

Yeah it's so good :D I love the vending machine!! Also when the milk goes off, it doesn't go all lumpy, it just goes sour. It's bizarre! Apparently you can still cook with it like that too :O

I think you can use off milk in buttermilk recipes

I'm impressed with the holly! I knew it was a christmas thing, but had only known the plastic version, or seen the image printed on things. But real holly growing on a tree!

It's the snowgoons of Calvin and Hobbes!! Beware, they'll start building more of themselves and soon you'll be overrun!

That aside, Merry Christmas :D
