    So I’ve had this from a different brand that also does orange milk, cotton candy milk, and premixed cold brew milk.

    The root beer milk tastes like a root beer float without the texture. Like it you let a root beer float thaw, then put it in the fridge, you’ve got root beer milk.

    I give it a 7/10. Not bad, not recommendes fro cereal or Mac and cheese.

    At first I thought ‘ew’, but then I remembered root beer floats are delicious, but it still seems weird for reasons I can’t explain. Like…I love the milk left in the bowl after eating crunch berries, but I wouldn’t want to buy cereal-flavored milk.

      I grew up poor as a kid and me and my brothers always dreamed of gobbling up all sorts of sugary snacks. One summer we got a hold of three cartons of vanilla ice cream and several 2 liter bottles of root beer. We had just heard about how to make root beer floats, so we made the biggest ones we could and gorged ourselves on it all in one sitting.

      We got so sick and unwell hours later … we didn’t lose it through diarrhea or vomiting but our stomachs felt like someone had taken a basebat to us … we’re Indigenous so we were all lactose intolerant.

      I haven’t had a root beer float since.

        As a european that has limited knowledge about this, but is really curious, I want to ask: Are most true americans lactose intolerant or is it just something that runs in your family or tribe and is different for others?

          around 65% of people are lactose intolerant, with the vast majority of them being of European descent.

          Lactose intolerance is the norm. Most people outside of Europe (and colonized by Europe) are lactose intolerant. Y’all have superpowers as far as the rest of the world is concerned.

    In the mid 90’s they served this at my elementary cafeteria. It was only available for a short time. It was even in those small cardboard containers. Not sure if it was a taste test or someone ordered them by mistake. They where a quarter, same as the regular or chocolate milks.
