Milk Commercial UGH

[Saboral]

So in this commercial they have kids in a spelling bee and present lecithin, the emulsifier used in almond milk (a natural product extracted from sunflowers). The girl spells it wrong. The boy gets milk, obviously he spells it right. The end punch line is "ingredients you can spell."

Really, really? Are they really going the food babe route? Are people out there really this ignorant? I love milk from a cow, but this kind of idiotic lowest denomination tactic has to stop. :rage:

 

[Psylocide]

Well people are pretty ****ing stupid.

That said... almond 'milk' is an abomination.

 

[Zuljin]

But could he spell palmitate?

Sounds like someone is getting worked up over essentially nothing...

^New kid on the block. Or, he's been away a loooong time

Well people are pretty ****ing stupid.

True fact...

Cheers!

Uhh, a high proportion of the people who *win* the Scripps National Spelling Bee each year can't even drink milk...

This is like the anti-smoking campaign that drives me nuts. There are enough legit things to be said about cigarettes, that you would think they could come up with something better than this flawed logic:

"Urea is found in cigarettes. Urea is found in urine. Do you really want that in your mouth?" [or something similar]


Ummmm...water is also found in urine...what's your point?

Yeah, but do you really want that in your mouth?

There's no alcohol in that stuff.

milk comes from cow tits. I can spell tits

Wait, is this a Carls Jr. ad? Cause every time I see a Carls Jr. ad I think of milk...

I was about to like your post...but since I like Almond Milk I'm guessing you've only tried dirty "street" blends.

Got it straight from the almond grower. That's the way to do it.

Eac.

Sorry.

My wife wanted us to try it and I was all "Oh crap, protein sucks in this, oh... no fat?

Oh my ****. My Mac and Cheese tastes like almonds.

Dump that ****, now."

 

[Saboral]

Finally something we can agree on. Dump that ****, now!

Well that's just gross.

Yeah, my general advice would be to not cook with it, unless you want a strong almond flavor to come through. I was pretty sure I knew better, but did it anyway.

 

[Glasscloud]

Funny, that commercial wouldn't work with 99% of all the other food that's bad for you. A simple bag of potato chips shouldn't have 20+ ingredients.

As Lewis Black said (about soy milk)
"There's no such thing as soy milk. It's soy juice... but they couldn't sell soy juice, so they called it soy milk... because any time you say "soy juice", you actually start to gag. And they put soy milk in with my moo cow **** milk! And it doesn't belong there because we all know there's no soy milk because there's no soy titty, is there?"

Same goes for Almonds.

I thought you weren't supposed to cook with it as it broke down the emulsifier.

Could be. I've never seen a soy plant. Have you?

And that is the very reason that my family makes our own potato chips.

Potatoes
Safflower oil (or canola in a pinch)
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
Garden grown herbs
