They have this tru moo chocolate milk in the grocery stores now. They say it has 40% less sugar, no hfcs. I wonder if it has fake sweeteners.

I have seen some fancy straw things that I guess are filled with highly sweetened flavorings. I think you're supposed to drink milk through them, because milk isn't sweet enough already, and apparently stirring in a powder or liquid flavoring is just too much work.

They really screwed themselves over with this.

Before I went vegan I had some of these. They didn't even really make a difference in taste. Weird things people will market these days, although I suppose it's always been like that.

I'll admit though that I drank a lot of Quick when I was younger. Strawberry Quick, Yoo-Hoo, and flavored milks were my favorites.

I remember Yoo-Hoo. That stuff was tasty but it always made me feel vaguely sick afterwards.

Then again, the same exact effect happens when I drink Silk Chocolate. Maybe my stomach has some weird aversion to liquid chocolate flavorings?
