I was buying milk at Hy-Vee today and Midwest Country Fare brand milk costs $2.99 per gallon, while all of the other brands (including the store brand) are in the $3.89 - $4.09 range. This price gap is rather consistent and has bothered me for some time. It doesn't seem like there could be all that much of a difference between milk that I definitely couldn't tell apart in a blind taste test.
WTF is up with that?

I grew up on milk straight from the cow. If I tried to drink raw milk now I would proly crap my pants. If you are worried about healthiness well there is not much you can do about it. The government sets the standards and that is what commercial dairies shoot for.

Here's one for you. Did you know after all of the processing that takes place in skim milk, it actually has a blue color. They add chemicals & food coloring to it to make it white again.
I don't care for the taste of raw milk either, but someone told me the other day that it taste better when you separate the cream. :dunno: think I'll try that next time.

Did you know that processed salad dressings like ranch and caesar have white paint chemicals in them to make them white?

Really digging the organic stuff lately, so rough ridin' creamy. I would normally drink whole milk but I can drink the 2% or even 1% of the organic stuff and get the same flavor. 2 things: 1) eff you pussy ass skimmites. 2) Whats the deal with shelf stable organic milk? crap freaks me out, I get the refrigerated stuff.

Love milk, drink at least 1 gallon a week.
Pro's-
-Very satisfying
-Have you ever tried eating cereal or oatmeal with water? ewww
-Tastes amazing out of a cold glass
-Tastes better in coffee than cream
-Nature's homemade protein shake
Con's-
-Nothing
When I run out of milk its time to go to the grocery store.
-
Well, guess no one has enough HMIQ to answer what differences cause the price gap. :clac:
May as well just discuss how great milk is. :lick:

The milk that is a dollar more is exactly the same as the other milk, it comes from the same company/cows and everything. Different label is all, fooling the rubes. This is confirmed by a dairy insider I know

Is this even a question? First off, I would say any sandwich cookie dominates a non-sandwich cookie. The amount of milk they seem to retain, and difference in texture after a good dunk are fantastic and something a chocolate chip cookie just couldn't match.
So now we are looking for the best sandwich cookie. There are basically two types of sandwich cookie that are of a high level, Girl Scout Peanut Butter thingies and the Oreo. Now, I am not going to break down the seasonal Oreos that they have now as that just opens up a whole can of worms. I like the Peanut Butter thingies, but for a day to day cookie/milk combo, I go oreo. Double Stuf I like more for non-milk eating, but it is too much for with milk. I go with regular Stuf

What's the best part of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
The cold glass of chocolate milk you have on the side.
-
chocolate covered graham crackers in milk are really good. its important to cut them in half first through.
non-double stuff oreos are good.
chips ahoy are good in milk.

I would rather dip almost any homemade cookie into milk than any cheap store bought sandwich cookie.

You may have a better homemade cookie maker on staff than I do
-
I am still convinced that nothign beats a good homemade chocolate chip cooking in mile, the key is you need to fill up the entire glass of milk so you dont have any issues getting the cookie in deep enough.
Non doublestuff oreo's are a solid #2 option though.
-
this year i was doing the girl scout peanut butter patties in milk and they were great. you have to cut them in half too before adding milk otherwise the chocolate acts as a liquid barrier.
i love using little debbie peanut butter crunch bars as straws in my milk.

Probably so. An easy alternative is the pre-made dough that you just slice and bake... pretty serviceable substitute. Warm fresh cookies dipped in cold milk is the only way to go.
-
Another question-
Do you drink straight from the jug?
If you share your milk with other people its just disgusting but what if it is only you that drinks the milk?
I do it from time to time but always look around as if someone might yell at me for it. The only downside is that sometimes you get the crusty old milk on the rim.
-
I will occasionally drink from the jug if I am A) The primary user of said milk, and B) I purchased the milk

Are you talking about the chocolate covered PB thingies or the NutterButter-like PB thingies? The NutButs give you the same crispy to soggy transformation as Oreos and are equally tasy IMO. Always a gametime decision between those two for me.
Freshly baked homemade is still the best, but I find that dunking is tricky because they fall apart easier.

I drink a crap ton of milk
Milk with raw eggs and Carnation instant breakfast is my go-to quick meal.
Milk and cookies.
Cereal
I tried warm milk once as a sleep aid, wasn't terrible. Never did it again.
Glass of milk before boozing it up to coat the lining of my stomach.
Also will not drink milk if it is within 2 days of the expiration date. It rarely makes it that long anyway.

Q1: Coffee
Q2: Oreo's - but a very cool thing a friend taught me - Take a thin mint, bite a small piece out of the top & the bottom and drink milk through the cookie like a straw. There's apparently a thin mint type cookie in Australia that they've shaped like a twix. Drinking milk through these is the ONLY way to eat them apparently. The roundish shape of the thin mint makes it difficult to drink milk through it, but boy is it good when you eat the cookie after it's all soggy inside.

sandwich cookies are not better for dipping than non-sandwich cookies, because the filling doesn't absorb crap. What an idiotic statement.

smart balance is good crap. that's real milk, they just took skim milk and essentially added 'good' fat back into it. it's what they do with everything. i use their oil for cooking and their butter. i didn't know they did milk. i drink a crap-ton of skim milk. i'll have to check it out. problem is, once you've weaned yourself down to skim milk, even 2% milk starts tasting like heavy cream.

Please make this a pro/anti milk poll. I am really suprised to see here (from this small sample) that goEMAW is generally pro milk.

The Tim Tam Slam is the practice of drinking a beverage (usually a hot beverage such as coffee or hot chocolate, though milk is a very valid alternative) through a Tim Tam.[13] (also known as a Tim Tam Shotgun, Tim Tam Bomb or Tim Tim Explosion).
Opposite corners of the Tim Tam are bitten off, one end is submerged in the drink, and the drink sucked through the biscuit. The crisp inside biscuit is softened and the outer chocolate coating begins to melt.
Yes, confirmed, very awesome way to drink milk.

Water or alcohol are the only potables to pass these lips. I got tired of buying milk only to use it once and then pour that ish down the sink later. That said, if the milk were someone else's responsibility, I would probably imbibe more often. However, I'd rather get my fat quota from delicious solid foods.

"warsh" is a geography-independent speech impediment
According to John Kelly of the Washington Post (Catching the Sounds of the City), he claims:
"warsh" is the predominant characteristic of what linguists call America's midland accent. The accent can be found in the swath of the country that extends west from Washington, taking in Maryland; southern Pennsylvania; West Virginia; parts of Virginia; southern Ohio, Indiana and Illinois; most of Missouri; and Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, much of Kansas and west Texas.

like for crayon? I remember as a youngster pronouncing it crown, because my parents called it that, i think figuring it would be easier for me to say. But, after being around other kids i was horrified that learn something so base and simple had been a lie my whole life. Its a good thing my parents offered to feed and shelter me for the next 15 years or i would have split right then and there. Don't put your kid through that same experience.
