It’s how she discovers that every recycling bin in town only has one thing in them: the same cartons of milk. They may be available in different flavors, but they are essentially the same product, which she traces to some dairy. The factory produces the same amber liquid from water and a mysterious powdery substance. But she doesn’t know what the power is because the QR scanner at the department store doesn’t recognize it.
