There are varying degrees of lactose intollerance. Maybe milk just makes
Jerry fart a lot. Besides, he can drink Lactaid.

Lots of people eat it "dry"...but, come to think of it, I remember
aleast a few times where Jerry has milk in his fridge, so he must have
been kidding (as usual)...
--JLR
No, I remember the lats episode of the season where he was in the restaurant
with his new "perfect girlfriend" eating Cheerios (out of a bowl like normal).
What episode did he say he was lactose intolerant? Also, do you remember the
show with George's "healer" who said Jerry was getting too much dairy, and
Jerry seemed concerned maybe b/c he knows he drinks too much milk w/ his
cereal? Or maybe he questioned the "healer" b/c he doesn't drink that much
milk? Any ideas?
He did eat it with milk in the very first episode (the one with Laura
wanting to stay at his apartment and then it turns out she is engaged).
At least I think it was cereal he was eating.
Maybe he is only midly lactose intolerant or maybe he takes pills to
combat it or something.

I remember one episode where George asks Jerry if he'd like to grab a bite
to eat, and Jerry replies, "Nah, I just had a big bowl of Kix." I'm
assuming there was also milk in the bowl, so is was probably a joke.

Also, milk was part of the plot of an early Susan episode. Remember when
George first brought Susan to Jerry's apartment? Kramer had just drank some
milk from Jerry's fridge, and Jerry asked, "Hey, what's the expiration date
on that?" The milk turned out to be spoiled, and Kramer THREW UP on Susan.
BTW, great article on Jerry in next week's TV Guide in Canada. Turns out
there's a chance they might go for two more seasons. They also list the
greatest all-time episodes (can't remember them all, but I know "The Pick",
"The Parking Garage", "The Soup Nazi" and "The Rye" are in there, and "The
Contest" is #1).

True, but you think someone who eats as much cereal as Jerry (if he eats it
with milk) would always have a fresh jug of milk in the fridge, or he wouldn't
have any at all if he had used it all, but I don't think he would buy milk,
and then never drink any just to let it spoil in the fridge. Unless, of
course, he bought it, and then suddenly had to go out of town for a "routine".
Man, I think we're really reading too much into this. ;-)
FYI, there's milk you can buy for lactose intolerant people. Those people,
like my parents, who just won't stand for lactose.
Jerry was telling his girlfriend-of-the-episode (who liked the Dockers
commercial) that he had NEVER seen an episode of "I Love Lucy," and
that he was lactose-intolerant. Do you suppose he was pulling her leg?

Speaking of milk and breakfast cereals...
Has anyone else notices that the boxes of cereal in Jerry's cupboards
never seem to change position very frequently? Mine do, and I eat cereal
even less than Jerry does... what's that all about?
(I love noticing small stuff like that! It gives me something to do with
my life!! :-)

2 Points about Seinfeld and cereal:
1) On Entertainment Tonight, Jerry was making fun of John Tesh because John liked
to eat his cereal with water. Jerry remarked that cereal needed to be eaten with a
denser liquid (i.e. milk) than water. At least that shows what Jerry's preference is,
though that may not necessarily carry over to the TV shows' Jerry.
Also, I have once mistakenly added water to my cereal (it was early, and both the
milk and water were in similair gallon containers). I thought it was horrible.
2) On either ET or Extra, there was a segment about Seinfeld, and I believe they
mentioned that one of the people on the set was in charge of the cereal cabinet.
They showed how she made sure the boxes were in order (alphabetical I think),
as well as there being cereal in there.
(The person was also in charge of other features of the set as well).

I eat cereal for breakfast every morning and usually have about 8-10
boxes in the cupboard. Mine are always in the same position because
when I pour a bowl of cereal I put the box back in the space it came
from. Granted, when I buy new boxes, they don't get put in in any
particular order, but you have to remember, Jerry is a neat freak and
alphabetizes his cereal.

It seemed to me that he was putting her by making the statement that he
was lactose intolerant, since it followed the line about never having
seen an episode of "I Love Lucy." It's hard to imagine that anyone his
age who grew up with a TV never saw an episode of "I Love Lucy,"
especially a comedian!
--Susan
That's true. Jerry is thin, single, and neat! Not that there's anything
wrong with that. ;-)
Maybe Jerry is so neat he arranges the boxes to fit the same space
ever time he eats.
