If you were given a shopping list with dairy milk on it what would you buy?

[Katieweasel]

Would you buy the much needed treat your DW had looked forward to eating all day. Or would you, like my DH, buy 6 pints of milk assuming the "dairy" was to differentiate between different varieties of milk! First and last time DH is entrusted to do the weekly shop unsupervised!

I just asked DH he said he’s buy milk. But because I drink oat milk and he and our daughter have cows milk, that’s his reasoning. Made me laugh though.

@Ddot

I'm with you on this one - Reindeer or Teddy Bear, I just don't care! I go by weight

Dark with salt yum yum

Love this thread but Dairy milk is of course a Cadbury’s dairy milk bar.

I am heartbroken for you and would send him straight back out lol!

Fair enough I know what people are saying regarding different types of milk oat and soya and cows milk and more (I only drink oat whereas my daughter has cows milk) but I would assume the chocolate on a list without a doubt even though I actually say oh there’s only dairy milk when we run out of oat.

Just asked DH and he replied "Chocolate of course". Ah, he knows me so well

I'd ltb for that

This being MN I assumed milk related and didn't even think of the chocolate!

In real life I wouldn't make that mistake

Definitely chocolate. I thought you was going to say you had put Dairy Milk and he had picked up Fruit n Nut instead

Haha! The chocolate, of course. But if I'd been writing the list I'd have written Dairy Milk choc.

Big bar of chocolate 🍫!

I’d have returned with chocolate I’m lactose intolerant & drink almond milk. Even if I buy milk for the OH, I don’t specify what sort. He writes almond milk on his shopping lists cause if he doesn’t, I can bet he’ll come back with a bottle of semi skimmed cows milk 😒

That is pretty funny.

I would have bought the chocolate if a list said “Dairy Milk”. Although I don’t actually like that chocolate!

I just asked my husband - he gave me a weird look and said ‘I’d have bought a big slab of chocolate.’

I'd have bought cows milk unless it was stayed as Cadbury DM or chocolate etc.

I just asked my husband - he gave me a weird look and said ‘I’d have bought a big slab of chocolate.’

Me too. Couldn't get his head around anyone suggesting cows milk, maybe we're just greedy. Made me love him a little more 😂

Omg.
Well I’d probably have written “choc” - dairy milk pls - on my list and my husband would get it I reckon .... but WTAF how has this man never been out shopping alone?! My husband would’ve called or texted me before buying 1000 milks!

I'd have bought chocolate, because we never put 'milk' on the list, as it's just a given that bread and milk are needed every week.

I'd be so gutted if I'd put chocolate on the list and DP didn't get it though (but I think he knows me better than to come home without some kind of treat!)

Chocolate

You need to be specific with males. Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate.

I asked my DH the questionnin your title and he said he would have bought milk 🤦🏻‍♀️

If it were 'Dairy Milk' then chocolate bar, but 'dairy milk' I would assume to mean semi-skimmed (and then wondered why you were being so specific)

I'd have bought a 200g bar of Dairy Milk and two pints of semi skimmed in case.

DH also said he'd buy milk

We are obviously on the same wavelength. I read this and couldn’t think what else it could possibly be other than chocolate.

I was going to see a friend in France and texted to say I was at the airport and through security. She texted back, "can you get some dairy milk if they have some?" Seemed reasonable- hadn't been to France since the '80s, but I remembered they mistly seemed to have UHT. Went to the shop, texted back to say "mission successful, got a litre of semi skimmed." She texted back to say she meant Cadbury's. Luckily my flight hadn't been called, so went back to shop and arrived with milk and chocolate.
