Technically, you are correct. But, the term "evaporated milk" is almost
always associated with non-sweetened condensed milk and the term "condensed
milk" is almost always associated with sweetened milk, there being hardly
anyone labeling un-sweetened condensed milk as such.

A fun little ditty from a website about Carnation evap milk:

"A little lady from North Carolina had worked in and around family dairy
farms since she was old enough to walk, with hours of hard work and little
compensation, and when canned Carnation Milk became available in grocery
stores (1940's or 50's?) she read an advertisement offering $5,000 for the
best slogan/rhyme beginning with "Carnation Milk is best of all . . ." She
said, 'I know all about milk and dairy farms . . . I can do this!'

She sent in her entry and about a week later, a black limo drove up in front
of her house. A man got out and said, "Carnation LOVED your entry so much,
we are here to award you $1000, even though we will not be able to use it."

Here is her entry:

Carnation milk is best of all,
No tits to pull, no shit to haul;
No buckets to wash, no hay to pitch,
Just poke a hole in the son-of-a-bitch!"
