Consider me interested. The protein content has me curious. I usually mix my protein shake with milk. Ten extra grams of protein doesn't sound too bad. I'd probably pick it up in the store depending on the final price.
 
Oh shiiit they carry 2%. I'll fuck with it when it becomes available. If I like it i'll buy it. I do like the Costco milk though.
 
I find the responses in this thread hilarious, because in NZ this company called Lewis Road Creamery recently released some high end milk and chocolate milk products. They're very nice, smooth and sweet. They collaborated on them with Whitaker's Chocolate which is one of the most recognizable chocolate brands in New Zealand, the end product essentially being a mix of milk and liquid chocolate. A bit of a different product than what Coke is doing but still, high end milk.

The result is ridiculous. This stuff has been perpetually sold out everywhere for months, with people getting up early to try buy it, with people being limited to 1 or 2 bottles per, with the prices being jacked up (I paid 8 NZD for 300mls of chocolate milk), the product has received tons of rave reviews, it's been an absolute phenomenon.

And here Gaf is acting like there will never be money in high-end milk. Now maybe we have abnormally high milk content in our diets here (I know I've personally consumed about a litre or more of milk on average each day for years, the last 6 months are the only time I've started cutting down), but I'm sure the right product and marketing would be successful. Not to say Coca-Cola is going to be that successful though.

The product design that was posted in this thread (assuming that is final) is pretty horrible too. I mean compare that with the aforementioned Lewis Road Creamery milk:

I'll probably stick with Clover milk. It's the best widely available milk i've had. Course, nothing will beat the amazing milk I had in Pennsylvannia on the dutch dairy farms there.

I dunno, I kind of go back and forth about milk. I mostly drink almond milk these days, but i'll still break down and get some cow's milk once in a while, even though i'm a bit put off by where it comes from and some of the bad things you read about milk (like that it can contain pus and other nasty things... yeah, google it)
 
Isn't there alot of female hormones in milk? Read about a case in Holland (?) that a very young girl got her period which could be tracked back to the milk she drank.

So... high end milk, if it is processed in a good way, is good.

Well the soy in soymilk has the estrogen based proteins in it but I don't think the same applies to regular milk. But research shows that you do need to take in a large amount of soy to even have an effect on estrogen levels. I try to avoid it all together to be on the safe side and stick to almond milk.
 
We already have high end milk, it's called organic. It's twice as good and at least 50% more expensive. I only get it to treat myself every now and then, because it's fuckin MILK. There is no "market dominance" with milk. It is a life staple for most who do drink it, so making it fancy just makes their life more expensive.

Edit: Apparently they think milk fat is bad for you, so it only goes to 2%. My guess is it tastes fucked up, even though it is more protein-dense.

Organic milk only tastes different because it has to be more intensely pasteurized. It caramelizes the sugars slightly more. Some non-organic milks use the same pasteurization and share the same tastes that many in the US associate with organic milk. This is also why organic milk is perceived to naturally have longer shelf life by many buyers, when it actually is due to the pasteurization technique.

In Europe, many, if not most, milk producers use the higher intensity process.

To me it tastes creamier. "Regular" milk is more thin, but organic is partially on the way to being half n half. It makes chocolate milk taste more like chocolate pudding, and lattes just more smooth and rich.

If you've had a lot of European, you've probably had box milk, yeah? That stuff tastes like butter, lol.

This is an apples to oranges comparison. The website isn't terribly clear, but this Lewis Road Creamey looks to be peddling real, organic milk from grass fed cows (only a guess, but typical of high end milk and meats from NZ, from what I can tell). This crap that Coke is peddling is barely even milk. It's more like some low fat, fat free synthetic garbage made to look like milk.
 
I've pretty much quit milk and have been more about taking calcium supplements. Or getting my fix somewhere else but dairy products are something I've had very little of since going on my diet. And I've noticed the tangible benefits via my weight loss thus far.

No.

Some organic milk is UHT pasteurized, not all.

Best tasting milk I can find locally.

organic
pasteurized, but not UHT pasteurized

HTST

Take a closer look at that half-gallon milk carton. Does it say pasteurized? Of course it does. All retail milk in the U.S. is pasteurized to remove any harmful microbes. But how was it pasteurized? Natural By Natures uses a low temperature pasteurization process that is among the most unique amid milk producers. The process is called an "HTST" process, or "Hot Temperature, Short Time." This means we eliminate any pathogenic micro-organisms by bringing the milk to a temperature of no more than 165° F — a temperature proven to remove any risk of harmful microbes. But it's not a temperature so high that it renders the milk sterile and possibly reduces any inherent nutritional value. Other milk producers use a process called "UHT" or Ultra-High Temperature. This process not only removes any bacteria, but by bringing the milk to a temperature of 280° F it renders the milk so sterile it remains usable for 55 days! Sound fresh to you?​

$5.50 a half gallon at my local store, also has a much shorter shelf life compared to the other UHT pasteurized milks. IMO tastes better than anything UHT pasteurized.
 
As someone who grew up on a dairy farm, I'm interested to see how this goes. Fluid milk consumption has been stagnating for years, and the dairy checkoff folks are struggling to come up with ways to boost it again.

But if they want this to be a mass-market product, they're probably going to have to partner with other dairy cooperatives and suppliers. Select Milk Producers is a tiny co-op.

Interesting. So what are those labels on the organic ones? The ones that saw non bovine hormone? Is it is scam?

rBST is technically still legal, but there are few, if any, dairy co-ops or processors that will accept milk produced with it. They've all made farmers sign affidavits pledging not to use it, and they can get in some fairly deep shit if they're caught shipping "non-affidavit" milk. It's essentially a de facto ban.

As a result, Posilac is basically a dead product at this point. Monsanto sold it to Eli Lilly a few years ago.

As for the labels, food labeling laws in the U.S. are pretty lax, and federal courts have struck down some state laws banning "hormone-free" labeling. But it's largely still a hodgepodge of state and federal laws and guidelines.
 
Who the fuck like Milk without fat? It taste like water, i mean, i want the creamiest sensation when i drink it, if not i'd be drinking water, jesus christ. The funniest shit is that a lot of girls i know don't like whole milk because it feel too "creamy" but love whipped cream Kappa

It has fat. There's a 2 percent version.
 
I'm a big fan of filtered milk, popular in the UK. They filter out more bacteria so it stays fresher for longer. To me at least I think it also tastes a little nicer.
 
Milk has been ruined from me ever since I was a kid and went to a diary show. Got to drink milk straight from the udder. Everything else has been a pale imitation of the real stuff ever since. v___v

Why won't farms let you come and drink straight from their cows. That would be a service worth paying for.
