“A couple of weeks” is based on personal experience, trying to see when the I could discern a difference in the taste of the milk. Although I would say ~10 days is more accurate to my experience. Also, it doesn’t expire by growing bacteria, rather it seems to start separating. I have no idea what the reason for that is.
It’s a method with a long history. Prior to refrigeration, people would add a silver coin to their milk to make it last longer. Why do businesses that profit off of dairy not recommend this or sell products related to it? Probably just because it’s bad business.

Reply to comment by DroolingSlothCarpet in LPT: Add a piece of silver to your milk jug. The antibacterial properties will make the milk last a couple weeks past its expiration date. by bratman33
