This is the Conversation Forum for Tips on How to Live in a Shared Household << Move out roomies >> Subject: Milk Experiment Posted Feb 10, 2003 by the Chairmaker   Posting 1 In one of William Gibsons books' there is a bloke who wrote 'Milk Experiment' on his carton of milk in order to prevent his housemates helping themselves... I always thought this was a good idea although I never had to try it out.

Then, make a sticky label with a supposed hospital number on the front. Make another convincing looking label with '24 Hour Urine Collection', or 'Semen Sample', or 'Culture Medium' on it. Put these on the bottle. Put bottle in fridge - no one will touch it. In fact, you might free up a whole fridge shelf in this way... I've never been forced to use this method - thankfully, everyone buys their own milk Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Milk Experiment Posted Feb 28, 2003 by philbo baggins This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 4 I was a biochemist at uni when sharing a house: my milk was the one with biohazard stickers all over it One friend put a few drops of blue food colouring in his milk: it didn't change the taste, but it pretty much stopped it disappearing. He said he quite liked his tea that colour (and the scrambled eggs were vaguely green). I have to point out two very apposite recent parodies: "Clean the Toilet", to the tune of "Drop the Pilot" by Joan Armatrading (http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/joanarmatrading0.shtml) and "Fat Housemate" to the tune of "Cecilia" by Simon and Garfunkel (http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/simongarfunkel0.shtml) as they're very funny... and for a change, I didn't write them.

My vegitarian friend gave me the idea at boarding school. Conversation list Most of the content on h2g2 is created by h2g2's Researchers, who are members of the public.
