I'm arguing that this should be done, and yet a citation is still important. You didn't answer my question about milk. In what situation would it be appropriate to mention milk being sold frozen without a citation? For example, human milk banks actually do freeze the milk for transport, but if this is mentioned in a wikipedia article, it should be cited! Same goes for making a claim about whether bread is sold sliced or unsliced (even if both are encountered more commonly than frozen milk)
