Show notes!
My hand was on the phone to demand a breast milk shootout as a way of validating your credentials as the premier beverage podcast. This is your destiny.
You *must* do a breast milk shootout. I’ve been waiting for this for so long!
What’s Up Ya’ll!!
This is Justin and I just wanted to add a little more information to my Mayfield voicemail. The reason that the milk is put into a yellow carton is because light can alter the taste of the milk. Exposure to light also causes the loss of nutrients. Who knows, that could be a bunch of bull but it has my taste buds convinced. It looks like finding it out in Cali might be impossible and I would send you some but it might be chunky lemon milk by the time it gets there. HAHA.
Love the show,
Justin
I LOVE the shootout idea, dont think its weird at all! Its such a unique opportunity! As a scientist, my interest is peaked!!
LOVING the breast milk shoot out idea! But to be true and unbiased professionals, I think you should throw in a cup or two of formula (name brand and generic). Let’s see if “breast is best” is just a load of BS!
I like this idea. From the very small amount of times we used formula I couldn’t think of any beverage I’ve had close contact with in my life that seemed more unappealing. You would really be able to tell if it was made to encourage the babies to want to drink it, or if they’re just concentrating on the nutrition. It’s SO EXPENSIVE though - unless one of the families is using it and could spare a couple spoonfuls, if they’re going to buy two tubs of formula for the show, they might need to put up the Matt Matt signal again.
Love the breast milk shootout idea. Do it!!! Tell the wives to take one for the team. This must happen. When I heard this as a possibility, it took everything in me not to yell out and do a fist pump at my desk. Love you guys and GFY!!!
YES. Do the breastmilk shootout! Part of me wishes I could enter my own breastmilk in the shootout. Also, it would be by far the healthiest beverage shootout you have ever done or will ever do.
*One thing to be aware of is that the hardest thing about your wives donating some breastmilk for a shootout is that it is “liquid gold”, and it may be difficult for them to give up even a couple ounces for the show. Us lactating ladies work hard for that pumped milk!
A little about the Bohemian Pilsner. http://learn.kegerator.com/bohemian-pilsner/
The Molly American Red Ale is one of my favorites too! Thanks for tasting my beverages!! There’s so many more that are amazing!
I can testify to the taste of breast milk. While I agree it is the best beverage for infants, my adult tastebuds did not enjoy the flavor. The act of removing the beverage straight from the source is fun, but leave the milk to the babies.
Just a note regarding the difference between name brands and store brands of regular (or white) milk. I recently learned after touring a Deans milk bottling center that all white milk (whole, 1%, 2%, skim) is the exact same. A bottling facility like Deans gets their tankers of milk delivered, does its testing for impurities, hormones, etc, and then it is bottled into whatever containers are being used (plastic jugs or paper cartons). The labels are simply changed out-not the milk. So first they may fill 1000 cartons with Targets market pantry, then switch labels to Deans for 1000 cartons, then switch labels to the generic store brand for 1000 cartons. The milk is 100% the same-only pricing and labels are different.
Where differences in “formulas” come in is in chocolate milks or other non-white milk products. And obviously organic milks are different. So save yourself a few pennies and buy the cheapest white milk. It’s all the same. Or at least this is true in the Midwest where we have Deans. I imagine though it’s true with all brands of white milk.
Can’t remember if it was this week or last week that canned still water was discussed, but it’s definitely a thing and I just had some on my Southwest flight yesterday! https://www.aquagrade.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Deja-Blue-Purified-Drinking-Water-in-a-Can.jpg
So, white milk was a thing when I was a kid, but only at school: We only had two beverage choices in the lunch line. There was a giant floor cooler that we had to reach down into, and you could pick either chocolate or white milk cartons. I always got chocolate. I think white milk out of those little paper cartons is gross!
White milk still sounds so funny. I laugh every time you guys say it. In my elementary school it was 5 cents for milk, 10 cents for chocolate milk. Maybe, just maybe, someone would distinguish the milk by calling it regular milk. But white milk? sounds like some factory engineered product, like soylent. speaking of which, you guys should do a tech bro shoot out and try bullet-proof coffee and soylent and see if it turns you into a computer-geek-mega-douche-life-hacker.
Andy thought the beer was more like a hefweizen probably because they used Belgian yeast which has a signature flavor.
Breatmilk: Once when I was feeding one of my sons, can’t remember which, he would not take the bottle of breast milk. I tasted it, and it tasted like cheese, because mommy was eating some provolone before pumping. Something to think about before the shootout!
Also, they were selling breastmilk ice cream in England for a while, not sure if they were selling the milk itself.
Yes to the breast milk! Mine tasted a lot like the Coffeemate Italian Sweet Cream flavored creamer. My husband agreed with me.
A couple milk notes from my past beverage profiles: I used to drink yellow milk quite often, it was a banana milk and it was light years better than chocolate or strawberry milk. Also, on steamed milk, I used to drink what I called a hot vanilla which was just steamed milk and vanilla syrup because it felt a little lighter and brighter than a hot chocolate.
