This is a mystery.
I've always preferred whole milk, although in my home environment my mom would only buy reduced fat milk. Reduced fat (2%) is okay, but any lower than that and it just tastes too watered-down to me. I hate skim milk. And I get whole milk whenever I can--now that I'm doing my own milk purchasing. (Word for the wise: Buying alcohol does not make you a man. Having to buy your own milk--and I don't mean a pint carton at school--is the true sign that you've grown up.)
The interesting thing is, I could swear that whole milk in Germany has a higher fat content. This would be less strange if it was just called "whole milk", but it clearly says "3,5% Fett" right on the carton. But it tastes like half-and-half. Needless to say, I love it. :D But I still wonder what the cause is...

It's actually true, same for austrian milk. I found US milk to be much thinner yet having more fat. Like the majority of your food btw.

Well whole milk is 3.5% in both places. The metric system uses base 10, right? :P
I wonder what the explanation is.
