Bubble Gum Milk
I've been trying to blog for days, but my schedule's been pretty booked. The days seem to end all too quickly and while I'd usually be happy that tomorrow is Friday, I've been bribed into working on Saturday (on top of all my other overtime) with the promise of free lunch and a decent monetary incentive. I don't really need the money, and I'd much rather spend the day loafing about, but it's crunch time, so I gotta take one for the team. Thus between working extra and lack of sleep, this morning on the way to work I had to make a call to the chick in the cube in front of mine that went something like, "Can you tell the boss I may be a few minutes late? I totally spaced out driving and passed my exit. I'm turning around now." Oh well. I'll sleep when I'm 30.
Ever since this whole flavor water straw craze started, I knew they needed to do this shit with coffee and milk. I don't drink much milk anymore, but when I was a kid we used to get it really fresh in big glass jugs from one of the local grocery stores that has since closed down. There was no greater sight than to open up the fridge after a grueling day of school and find that I was being treated with a big pink jug of strawberry milk. Strawberry milk was the nectar of the Gods to me. Pink milk was always strawberry, until some assholes came along and decided it was going to be bubble gum flavored, too.
I had no hopes for bubble gum flavored milk. No hopes at all! And I'm glad I didn't get those hopes up because it was fucking terrible. With every sip I made a ghastly frowny face so contorted it used facial muscles I didn't even realize I had. I made it about halfway through before dumping the rest down the drain. A pox on bubble gum milk! If I want to taste bubble gum, I'll splurge 5ยข on a piece of Bazooka Joe, thanks.

Honestly, I HATE milk. Always have. The only milk I consume is a tiny touch of it my cereal and even then most of the milk I buy ends up going bad cause I refuse to drink it. That being said, when I was a kid you could talk me into drinking chocolate milk by luring me in with chocolate, but even then I knew it was a bait-and-switch con and just played along. The idea of bubble-gum milk just sounds foul to me. I'll just take your word for it.

During the last Christmas season for some reason I was in the mood for all the flavored milks that were coming out at that time instead of eggnog. There was cinnamon chocolate milk, cherry chocolate milk, pumpkin-spiced chocolate milk (which was awesome) and a couple other flavors which has escaped me. But bubble gum milk does sound disgusting.

I LOVE strawberry milk, except I always get the paranoid feeling that others may think I'm drinking Pepto Bismol!

BJ, Oddly enough, when I was a kid I actually liked Pepto Bismol. I would drink it sometimes even if I wasn't sick. Weird, I know, but there it is. Come to think of it, I still kind of like it.

All I have to say is that sounded completely fetid and just plain out nasty... I used to drink a lot of milk as a kid, now I drink non-fat and more often than not I have been drinking soy milk. I get these jugs of organic soy milk from a Japanese grocery store. It's not all thick and nasty like Silk. Wow you are a brave girl, I don't think I could even have taken one sip of that foul mixture. Poor milk!
