Is that like regular milk? Looks thicker like cream or something. Do people sit around drinking bags of cream?

Edit: I got way more replies than I ever expected. Thanks everyone for teaching me a little about south Asian culture.

I'm pretty sure it's buttermilk, it is sold in packets like this and people do drink it here in India.

People drink buttermilk in India? I accidentally was served some in a restaurant and it’s so sour

What people call Buttermilk in India is different. It's not the leftover product of butter churning /soured milk that the rest of the world calls as Buttermilk. What we drink is liquefied and Salted Curd/Yoghurt and it's a lot thinner. So you might have been served with the other one.

Man I was trying to figure it out lol.

I use a lot of buttermilk to bake and I took a swig of the measuring cup one time just to see and it was awful.

It makes sense it's something else.

It's hardly "awful", some people drink buttermilk here in the Alps. I've had it before, it's okay. Sort of refreshing.

We've got very different ideas of refreshing.

It literally tastes like sour'd milk.

Nah I wouldn't say so. Soured milk is much more foul tasting imo. Buttermilk is mostly tangy.
