@Cerridwyn I only know I like this because I randomly bought some at Black Radish in St. Pete. I normally avoid the plant milks because they usually have a strange aftertaste.
@Cerridwyn@yakkoTDI Hello fellow Floridian! The Black Radish is indeed a pretty cool place, so I’ll accept this recommendation, since you’ve got taste.
@Cerridwyn@mcemanuel both are not in fact milk but rather dirty left over water after you soak you nuts in it for a bit. Milk is from mammas and not a sack full of soaking nuts.
@qazxto besides oats not being nuts, I’m sure you realize that even though your goal was “make this thing sound like it’s gross”, it’s much easier to make cow milk sound gross… I drink cow milk but any description of the process is about the most revolting thing we humans do
@courteousblock I would call those reviews accurate. Nice and foamy when you pour it. And of the 3 pack Costco had I think this was my favorite flavor.
@blaineg@Kyeh Kind of? They’re giant insects. Or arachnids, whichever your broad sweeping definition.
Humans also eat embryos, eat grass grown out of manure, burn and inhale grass grown out of manure, and drink liquid rotted wheat. The top of the food chain is weird.
Oak milk was originally popularized by oatly for the coffee industry.
They were looking for a dairy milk. Excuse me a non-dairy milk that they could foam and make a latte or a mocha out of.
And out of that came the modern incarnation of oat milk.
It’s much creamier than the other non-dairy milks. It has the consistency more of real milk. I love using it to actually make overnight oats because it makes.
It’s so much richer.
@phendrick@unksol We had goats when our children were in 4H. Goats have a very distinctive aroma and to me, goat milk, goat cheese, goat anything has that same gamey smell/taste.
No thank you.
@macromeh@phendrick I think we have some goat owners around. Read about the goat smell as well. I hear something about not having a male goat around. Regardless you don’t want to milk me.
@Cerridwyn@phendrick@unksol Some of that comes from the natural clumping power of pat fiber, some comes from the added vegetable oil needed to make the drink as rich as whole milk.
Mehnards had this stuff for a while, it was not very good. La Colombe makes a better canned coffee, but it sells for at least triple what meh is offering this for
As stated above, milk comes from mammals. There should be a law prohibiting calling anything else milk. My grandfather was a dairy farmer back in the day when cows were milked by hand. Surely he is rolling in his grave.
@detailer the law works in that they cannot call this “milk”. Instead they can only call it “oat milk” which is a different word thanks to English’s penchant for open compound words
@krmugn52 Good read. Harvard and Gottlieb got it right. The argument from the PB people is total bullshit. They know consumers want milk and not juice, so they hitch their wagon to milk to sell their product. I’m not trashing PB products, but an apple isn’t an orange. No surprise from the FDA under the Senile administration proving FDA is the acronym for Fucking Dumb Ass.
I don’t disagree with you. There should be a better word.but soy milk has been so I milk for as long as I can remember and that’s sort of set of precedence
wtf is with this forum? literally every time meh has a food item, the biggest weirdos on the planet decide to spam the meh forum with insanity.

@edsa oil is in most consumer’s coffee as it’s in basically every creamer. Coconut oil in coffee is delicious & curbs the caffeine jitters that can come with coffee on an empty stomach. Has anyone here tried CBD in coffee? Seems counterproductive but folks love their Jägermeister & Red Bull…
WtFCares what opaque non-dairy drinks are called? If you want cow milk, meant for consumption by baby cows, go to literally every ducking grocery store in the entire world and buy some. If you want to care about something, make it about something that actually matters
Four dozen of these arrived on my doorstep Saturday morning, and I tried one Sunday afternoon. First thought: It tastes really nice, very creamy with a light coffee flavor, and not too sweet. Then the caffeine hit. I thought it was kind of strong but didn’t worry about it too much; I drink a few cups of middling coffee every day, maybe I’d had a couple extra cups? No. Had another can in the evening and it hit just as strong… No $%#@^ way this has only 80mg of caffeine, it drops harder than a sbux venti drip, and that’s over 300mg. It’s smooth, and it is 7:00 a.m., I have not slept and I am bolt goddamn awake. My eyeballs are hard and my nipples are crossed. I don’t remember the last 8 hours but I love it. Last time I remember feeling this way I was in my 20s and trying cocaine for the first time.
Is this why they’re unloading this for cheap? Label problem? Johannes at the factory in the Netherlands tipped the coke^h^h^haffiene shaker a little hard on a random Tuesday? Oat cartel?

This stuff is delicious! Get in my cart!!!

Oat milk = mega carbs… good luck with that. Caffeine? Yes. Oat milk. Nah. MEH. Bring on the almond milk with no flavor baby!
@mcemanuel
Almond milk is thin and runny and hurts mah belly

A quick study of the ingredients confirms this will not give me violent diarrhea, so I’m in.

I’d like to know who first tried eating an oyster.
@Kyeh Ol’ Mush Mouth they called him.
@Kyeh Whoever first ate crab or lobster must have been really hungry.
All hard & spikey, and trying to damage you.
@blaineg And lobsters look kind of like giant insects.
@Kyeh I bet it was Mikey.
@Kyeh Just read a S-F book where the main food source is openly called “bugs”, and they are.
@blaineg @Kyeh Kind of? They’re giant insects. Or arachnids, whichever your broad sweeping definition.
Humans also eat embryos, eat grass grown out of manure, burn and inhale grass grown out of manure, and drink liquid rotted wheat. The top of the food chain is weird.
@blaineg @pakopako Yes, and in a number of places people eat bugs and insects right now, and there’s a movement on to encourage more of us to eat them.
Argh! At first thought it was GOAT milk, which I would have bought.
@unksol Does the March Goat accept any blame for this?
@phendrick I have never had either oat milk or goat milk. I also am not the milking variety… So… I’m thinking. Meeeeeeh

@Cerridwyn @phendrick that is. Some interesting history.
But if I’m going to be honest. What sort of monster puts milk in their Coffee…
Coffee. BLACK. Hot. Is the correct way.
But you sugar/milk/Starbucks people do what makes you happy. I’ll do it correctly
@phendrick @unksol
I drink it black most of the time. Once in awhile i get a cappuccino or a mocha

I’m confused by the back label. Nutrition list: 7g added sugars, ingredients list: …
@Superllama7 looks like sugar is a natural flavor?
Zero coffee flavor. They don’t taste bad but don’t taste like coffee.
@blaineg oat milk is a beverage similar to cockroach milk, but it comes from oats
@awk @blaineg
Hisssssss
/showme a banana with an ant for scale
“Apparently latte-like without extra fat, sugar, or calories.”
Based on the label, they probably couldn’t fit any more fat, sugar or calories.
As stated above, milk comes from mammals. There should be a law prohibiting calling anything else milk. My grandfather was a dairy farmer back in the day when cows were milked by hand. Surely he is rolling in his grave.

“Consumers, generally, do not mistake plant-based milk alternatives for milk.”
Oil shouldn’t be in coffee.
@edsa
@edsa oil is in most consumer’s coffee as it’s in basically every creamer. Coconut oil in coffee is delicious & curbs the caffeine jitters that can come with coffee on an empty stomach. Has anyone here tried CBD in coffee? Seems counterproductive but folks love their Jägermeister & Red Bull…
@edsa coffee beans themselves naturally have oil which is part of what creates crema.

This is crazy! This coffee has nitrogen in it? I just had nitrogen put in my tires at Goodyear! Wow! What a combo!

Where do the added sugars come from? That ingredient list seems sparse.
