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 and he would buy Cadbury’s Dairy Milk but also some real chocolate as he knows I don’t actually like Cadbury’s and assumes that the dairy milk was for someone else! 😂

He’s a keeper.

On my list, it depends where it's written. Top left corner with cheese and yoghurt = milk. Bottom left corner with crisps and biscuits = chocolate. The list follows the order of the supermarket shelves... and possibly I need to get a life!

@MazDazzle

Reminds me of the time I sent my husband out to buy Christmas Crackers.

We buy dairy milk and dairy free milk (aka df milk on a shopping list) but for chocolate I'd write chocolate on the list, and write milk or dark next to it or whatever flavour I wanted.
If someone gave me a list with dairy milk on it, and I hadn't spoken to them about it, I'd buy normal milk.

My DH would have got milk. If you’re wanting chocolate, you need to specify, chocolate and then the type, Dairy Milk etc

I just asked DH and (after a short satellite delay) he said:

"......... er........... chocolate."

@GCAcademic

I know someone who gave her DH a list which included loo rolls. He came back with 100 bread rolls. Fuck knows what he thought she was planning to do with them.

Actual LOL

Yeah LTB.

Totally dependent on whether you ever buy soya or almond milk, if you don't he's an idiot and would have been sent back to said shop. My DH would have bought both - to make sure

Just read that to my DH, who clearly not listening said “I would have of course bought you Dairylea”. So life could be worse...

I would first think dairy milk as in fresh milk as opposed to long-life milk!

If you wanted chocolate I'd assume the list would read Dairy Milk chocolate, or at the very least Dairy Milk.

If you just wrote literally

dairy milk

like that without any other clue then I'm sorry but I'm with your DH...

In future write it as "CHOCOLATE (CADBURY'S DAIRY MILK BAR, IT'S THE BIG PURPLE BAR. RING ME AND TEXT PIC IF YOU'RE STILL NOT SURE)"

Wtf.

Dairy milk is chocolate.

You don’t call eggs farm eggs in case someone was to confuse it with an Easter egg.

It’s milk as standard and any variation gets added - ie oat / almond / coconut

Dairy milk on a list and I would of picked up chocolate!!
I’m 100% sure my partner would get chocolate too.

If I needed milk it would just be written as ‘Milk’.

Oh wow. Absolutely the chocolate of course!!! What was he thinking?!?!

When DC1 was old enough to go shopping for me I asked for “6 pieces of fruit- your choice” and an appropriate amount of cash.
Stumbled back with 6 TYPES of fruit, all in family quantities, and a debt with the shopkeeper.
.
DH is great at shopping, meticulously buying everything on the list.... then he goes crazy with the crisps, pickles, charcuterie, craft beer etc. etc.

My grandma always sent me to the shop for cigs etc. it was the 70s , early 80s. I remember it was near to Easter and she asked for 6 eggs. I bought back 6 Cadburys creme eggs. Every frickin birth, death, marriage it's brought up......remember that time

Oh dear. I think it probably depends on where in the list it was placed and whether you or him have ever bought milk other than cows milk. It wilder occur to me for it to be anything other than the chocolate, but that’s because I don’t buy milk ever. However if I was in a household where regularly or at least recently someone had requested or needed oat/almond/whatever milk then I might have thought it was a way of requesting cows milk rather than the chocolate.

Chocolate obviously! I thought you were going to say he got you fruit and nut or something. Who calls milk ‘dairy milk’? I’ve never heard that before in my life

Chocolate. If someone wanted milk wouldn't they just ask for... milk? Dairy Milk is a specific thing.

I'd buy a slab of chocolate if presented with that on a shopping list.

I always have to buy a couple of four pinters of cow's milk every week as a matter of course, and just list it as milk.

Sounds like your dh needs more practice doing the food shop to me.

I just asked DH - he said he'd buy a big bar of chocolate.

He then asked why I was asking and I explained that your DH had brought back 6 pints of milk. His response? FFS!

My first thought is always chocolate.

I’m a women and would have got 6 pints of milk- now I’ve read your post and seen jts chocolate, I feel a bit stupid.

To be fair though it’s Dairy Milk, not dairy milk, maybe that’s where it went wrong?

Oh dear. I'm clearly addicted because my first thought was chocolate and, if I put that on a list. my husband knows me well enough to buy chocolate.
