> It's quite possible that if I spent <x amount of time> drinking lots and lots of UHT milk eventually my preference might change. I'm not planning on trying, though.

here in Switzerland, we have the choice between the two and having drunk both, I can assure you that I'm firmly in the pasteurised-tastes-better camp.

However, the huge convenience of not producing a smelly mess within days after purchase of UHT milk makes me still buy UHT if I don't know that I'm going to be certain to use the milk within one or two days.

I do not understand, under refrigeration it should last quite a bit longer than a few days. I wonder what the differences world wide with regards to pasteurization and additives to such are.

This is easily brand specific too. I know in the US if I buy milk from Whole Foods / Trader Joe's I better drink it in 3 days. Where as the store brand at Safeway is impressing me with its longevity.

Isn't this a function of fat content, where 1% spoils faster than 2%, which spoils faster than whole milk?
