Milk

[sturg33]

Usually the 2% comes with a blue label on the jug/carton, and whole milk usually comes with the red label.

Yeah, curious about the difference is the % of whole vs 2%.

I'm not silly enough to believe that whole milk is 100%, and then the next available is 2%. So what % is whole?

 

[sturg33]

Whole milk is 3.25% fat, under the US taxonomy.

Interesting. I wonder why they don't just label it as 3%

Even regulation butter is only ~80% fat.

I would assume "whole milk" developed as a response to people taking things out of straight-up milk, then adding descriptors to the new product. To wit, OED defines "whole milk" as whole milk n. milk from which no constituents have been removed; also attrib..

Gotta disagree

Then again Mondo was the rich kid's hugs.

Mondo had a 6 pack at food lion or dollar tree for a dollar. Still is.

And you can get a 20 pack of Hugs for 3 bucks at Walmart. I'm talking about as a kid,Hugs were a quarter and Mondos were 50 cents where I grew up. I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones

"Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say.

My friend choked on the foil piece that sealed the hugs when we were 8 years old on a hot summer day playing baseball in the street. True story.

Also underrated, we had a candy lady in the neighborhood that sold "thrills". Not sure what colloquial term in other regions of the country is, but basically she just put kool-aid in a solo cup, froze it with a popsicle stick in the middle, and it was amazing.

Usually if a woman sells kids thrills she winds up in jail not too much later.

Trying to outdo me with buzzkill jokes?

Couldn't remember what Hugs were until I read the foil cover part. Those things were the business.

I am starting to drink coconut milk as well.

I mix coconut and almond sometimes. It's almost like drinking cream.

Ever tried Soy + Almond? I did half and half with my cinnamon toast crunch... mmmm.

Coconut milk plus espresso plus a bit of actual cream. It's legit.

(Yes, I stole the concoction from the CocoCafe brand.)

I went on scout yesterday and checked my sent messages. I sent one to Jerry.
