National Milk Day

Milk has a long, interesting history. Well, as interesting, at least, as some of the various threads that have popped up over the years. There have been some memorable milk commercials in the past couple of decades.

Are most of you milk drinkers? Whole or lo fat or skim? Soy or almond?

    Fairlife 2%, Fairlife Chocolate Milk, and Fairlife Core Power are my favorite milks to drink.

    I never understood almond milk. How do you milk an almond?

    Only whole milk for me, so I don't drink it too often...with cake...and with French toast. Or pancakes. Anything sweet. And cornbread.

    I'm pretty much a milk with cereal and not much else guy. I can dig it with cookies but I've never understood the folks who come in from a hot day and want a glass of milk. Makes me think of:

    Is goat, camel, and other mammal milk represented, or is this some cow elitist thing ?

    It just says milk, and we all know you can milk anything with a t3at thanks to Greg Focker.

    Grew up on whole milk. Transitioned to 2% in my 20's, 1% in my 30's, skim in my 40's, and now I rarely drink it at all. I probably make up for it with all the cheese I eat. Big fan of cheese in all forms, including scary, stinky, French kinds.

    I haven't tried almond milk but I must admit I enjoy the taste of soy milk. I drink black coffee daily, but once in a blue moon I'll have a soy latte, and I recommend that if you've never tried it.

    Is t.e.a.t. on the verboten list? Good to know. Add it to the column below m.on.k.e.y. and u.g.l.y. Am I missing any other curiosities? Would be fun to compile them all.

    I'm sure it's not occurred to most people, but Milk is a Commie plot to change the nature of our bodily fluids! Mandrake, that's the way your hardcore Commie works.

    Classic!! What a great film. Love to re-watch it every so often. Peter Sellers was unbelievable.

    I sometimes use almond milk to make hot chocolate on those brutal winter days here in FL, when the temps reach down into the 40's.

    Or could it be the heartbreak of psoriasis?

    You're not from the South unless you've at least tried day old sweet cornbread crumbled into a glass and covered with buttermilk. Of course you have to eat it with a spoon just like cereal. Why do you think we produced some of the biggest and fastest football players here in the South?

    When it comes to milk, I've never had anything that can compare to the single pints we use to get in England. The whole milk had two fingers of pure cream on top, so you had to shake it. It was absolutely delicious.

    That ain't right, man...taunting us cold weather folk. Not cool

    Or a soybean? As others have said, you can milk anything with n.i.p.p.l.e.s but milk from beans and nuts? That's where I draw the line.

    That brought back some memories for me. Back in the mid 70's I went a student exchange program in England for a month. A group of us was hiking in the English Country side and came across a small farm. Hand written sign at the end of the drive said "Milk for Sale." We wandered up the drive and each of us bought a pint of milk. Best milk I've ever tasted to this day.

    Thanks for jogging the noggin for that memory.
