Well, I'm glad it's that way where you live....but that is not the case here. Great Value milk tastes nasty compared to the local Milko/Sealtest plant milk. Milko is owned by Ingles Markets, which is a locally owned grocery chain who has several hundred stores in the NC/SC/GA/TN region. Ingles house label milk is Laura Lynn and that is the exact same milk as the milk in Sealtest jugs. Neither one tastes watered down like the Great Value crap from Wal Mart, so no....it isn't the same HERE.
