Insane dedication to this subject. I know you dont rate Fairlife highly, but their 30g Protein Drink might be the greatest beverage ever created by man. Good flavor, lengthy shelf life, national availability, good value $ per gram of protein, low sugar. A drink fit for kings.

Thanks for checking it out! I'm glad you like the 30g Protein Fairlife stuff-- and I hear you on the nutritional stats and $/g protein, etc-- 100% valid. I just review things on taste, and for me, it's like someone poured cooked milk through an ashtray and added wood glue (no other explanation for why the surface bubbles harden into a scummy film shortly after pouring it out). I hate to be negative, cuz ultimately if each person finds something they like, we're all better for it. Cheers, and happy drinking!😋

Great work. Extensive looks into things like this are always nice ti see. Umpqua is all i Remember from my milk drinking days but that seems ti just be the common one.

Thanks! It's definitely a niche subject, and it seems like Umpqua has a lot of nostalgic value for many Oregonians. Hopefully you can try some of the others in here-- I very much respect the state's commitment to local farms and food!

I picked up some Bennett family farm at the Tillamook cheese factory...one of the best

Nice! Yeah it's fantastic stuff-- I'd be in trouble if I lived in Tillamook-- they know what they're doing out there for sure! 😋

Hopefully eggnog was a good consolation prize! Are you hitting anywhere else in the PNW?

Not on this trip-- it was a one-week visit to OR (vacation) in an attempt to *do* the state properly from a chocolate milk perspective. I did Washington a few years ago (but there are more there now that I need to try), and have been through Northern CA, UT, ID, MT-- straying from the PNW there a bit, but living in NC it's tough for me to get up there for any more than a week. Any recommendations?

How long before chocolate milk sours once opened?
@afoolzerrandcom8 ай бұрын
Good question-- and the answer is it kinda depends. If it's ultra-pasteurized, it might last for a week or so after it's opened. A minimally-pasteurized milk (which tastes better in my view) is probably closer to 3 or 4 days after opening before it starts to turn.
