“delicious blended food drink”!

Go easy on them, this was from a time before humanity had the sun.
The phone number is 4 digits. I realize we added area codes. I didn’t realize we had already done it once before that wet the other 3 digits.i wonder if they still have a xxx-xxx-3577 phone number floating around the company somewhere
Or color.
I’ve seen children whose teeth had rotten due to being bottle-fed soda and in extreme cases it leads to them getting sick and having the teeth surgically removed. As a result those children’s adult teeth almost certainly will not grow in proper alignment and it can lead to a lifetime of inconvenience at best.
My dad used to give me sugary tea in a bottle. I had to have all my teeth pulled by the time I was 2
Wouldn’t this curdle? I can kind of see how it would be a distant cousin of a creamsicle or a root beer float, but I think it’s going to get chunky. Maybe the “natural lemon flavor” is refined enough that it wont, I don’t know. I don’t have either ingredient on hand to try it for science.
The name “7up” would trick the milk into thinking it’s has a +7 pH, preveting it from curdling
Made my day with that joke
Apparently it doesn’t get chunky. It’s pretty popular in Pakistan: https://www.eater.com/2017/6/20/15793584/doodh-soda-doodh-7up-milk-pakistan
It’s not literally 7up mixed with milk, but Milkis is a fairly popular drink in Korea, and can regularly be found in vending machines—or at least could when I lived there in the mid '00s.
First off, it really is tasty.
Second, given when this add is from, it is likely that the milk consumed by many who read this ad was close to or equivalent to the best “artisan farmer” organic milk you can find today, and the 7-Up was likely still using pure cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup.
Not wholesome, but also not the toxic sludge it would be today.
The swill milk scandal was a major adulterated food scandal in the state of New York in the 1850s. The New York Times reported an estimate that in one year 8,000 infants died from swill milk.
The milk was whitened with plaster of Paris, thickened with starch and eggs, and hued with molasses.
The fuck.
Whenever you think government regulation of something is overbearing, there’s a story like this that preceded the regulation.
Methinks more people need to read The Jungle.
Apparently this story preceded some asshole politician blocking regulation despite public outcry and working super hard to make sure nothing changes, successfully for the most part.
According to Wikipedia.
Tuomey assumed a central role in the ensuing investigations, and, with fellow Aldermen E. Harrison Reed and William Tucker, shielded the dairies and turned the hearings into one-sided exercises designed to make dairy critics and established health authorities look ridiculous, even going to the extent of arguing that swill milk was actually as good or better for children than regular milk.
Ah
warpolitics, politics never changes.
Huh? I thought citric acid makes milk curdle
That’s why you don’t stir
It sounds awful. But I once took a half-empty can of diet Squirt and added it to a half glass of orange juice, and it was AMAZING. Very citrusy and actually very delicious. So - ya never know what might work.
Pakistan clearly thinks it works: https://www.eater.com/2017/6/20/15793584/doodh-soda-doodh-7up-milk-pakistan
I had some friends from the middle east that loved any drink that had citrus flavoring, like 7-up or Sprite. It’s a taste they prefer to cola and other kinds of soda.
Diet…Squirt
Yeah i don’t know if they even make “Squirt” anymore but it was a citrusy soda that came in regular and diet flavors. Mind you I didn’t buy the diet, someone else did and left a half a can in my fridge.
But if you get a chance to try it with orange juice, it’s really good.
Oh it’s not a typo? I’ll keep my eyes peeled based on the name alone.
Here’s a link their website: https://www.squirtsoda.com. It looks like they still make, it’s been around awhile here in the states.
