Dialogue
A: É possível o leite ficar gelado demais?
B: Isso é impossível. Pra mim, quanto mais frio, melhor!
A: Principalmente com o meu cereal de manhã, sabe?
B: Com certeza! Peraí! Isso aí que você tá usando é leite desnatado?
A: É, por quê?
B: Não me diga que você acha que leite desnatado é leite de verdade, eca! Você deveria pelo menos tomar o semi-desnatado.
A: Ah, sei lá! Depois de beber o leite desnatado, até o semi-desnatado fica com o gosto de integral.
B: Leite integral supergelado, esse é o único que presta.
A: Is it possible for milk to ever be too cold?
B: Impossible. As far as I am concerned, the colder the better.
A: Especially on my cereal in the morning, you know?
B: Definitely. Wait a sec! Is that skim milk you are using?
A: Yea, so what?
B: Don’t even pretend that skim milk is real milk, ick! At least you should drink 2%!
A: I don’t know, after drinking skim, even the 2% tastes like whole.
B: Freezing ice-cold whole milk is the only way to go.
