Recent reports about milk safety have forced mainlanders to think twice before buying dairy products.

But students at Guangdong's University of Business Studies are not too worried.

Supermarkets are trying to unload potentially problematic milk products with huge discounts. A case of 48 bottles of milk can cost as little as 40.50 yuan (HK$46) with a buy-one-get-one-free offer, or less than 1 yuan per bottle.

These special offers have caught the eyes of students, who have been buying multiple cases of milk.

Students say they can't resist the low prices and don't believe they are at risk from the consequences of drinking contaminated milk.

'I heard that only infants, who can't digest very well and who have been drinking the milk for a long time, will get kidney stones. It won't affect adults that much,' said one student.
