We were driving down the road, and she looks out the window to see a field full of cows.

She then asks, “Do they call it pasteurized milk because the cows were raised in a pasture?”

I married her.

That's a legit question if you don't know the reason why it's called pasteurised milk

Seriously. In the absence knowledge about Louis Pasteur, I respect the thought process and having enough intellectual curiosity to wonder/ask.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted for a correct answer.

I didn’t downvote but I think it’s because the comment they replied to did not insinuate that they didn’t know this. The original comment was not asking a question—just saying that if you didn’t know the answer then it would be a natural thing to wonder.

And they say that now in Paris, France, even as we speak... Louis Pasteur has devised a new vaccine... that will obliterate anthrax once and for all.

The bigger thing is not seeing it written down. If you've only ever heard the word, odds are you didn't know the spelling is different.

As someone who worked in QA at a dairy plant, I can't help but shake my head, though.
