    So I’ve had this from a different brand that also does orange milk, cotton candy milk, and premixed cold brew milk.

    The root beer milk tastes like a root beer float without the texture. Like it you let a root beer float thaw, then put it in the fridge, you’ve got root beer milk.

    I give it a 7/10. Not bad, not recommendes fro cereal or Mac and cheese.

      One time I made the mistake of making box Mac and cheese with vanilla flavor almond milk. Definitely not recommended.

    At first I thought ‘ew’, but then I remembered root beer floats are delicious, but it still seems weird for reasons I can’t explain. Like…I love the milk left in the bowl after eating crunch berries, but I wouldn’t want to buy cereal-flavored milk.

      I have tried it. I was thinking the exact same thing. It really make you miss the carbonation. It’s like a melted, flat root beer float.

      I grew up poor as a kid and me and my brothers always dreamed of gobbling up all sorts of sugary snacks. One summer we got a hold of three cartons of vanilla ice cream and several 2 liter bottles of root beer. We had just heard about how to make root beer floats, so we made the biggest ones we could and gorged ourselves on it all in one sitting.

      We got so sick and unwell hours later … we didn’t lose it through diarrhea or vomiting but our stomachs felt like someone had taken a basebat to us … we’re Indigenous so we were all lactose intolerant.

      I haven’t had a root beer float since.

        I mean, even if you weren’t lactose intolerant, I’d have expected much the same reaction.

        As a european that has limited knowledge about this, but is really curious, I want to ask: Are most true americans lactose intolerant or is it just something that runs in your family or tribe and is different for others?

          around 65% of people are lactose intolerant, with the vast majority of them being of European descent.

          Lactose intolerance is the norm. Most people outside of Europe (and colonized by Europe) are lactose intolerant. Y’all have superpowers as far as the rest of the world is concerned.

          When I say that I’m lactose intolerant … it doesn’t mean that I can’t drink milk or eat milk products. It just makes it uncomfortable, it just makes me pass gas a lot more than others. Us native people get a big laugh out of it … as a kid, we used to have a contest as to who could produce the longest, loudest, smelliest farts (my brother won by a large margin with this and he was quite proud of it … sometimes we wondered if he was healthy or not judging by the gas he produced).

          But on the other side of that, I can build a tolerance to lactose if I drink it enough and often. If I drink some milk every day, over time, I built a tolerance to it but if I stop for a while and then go back, then I’ll get lots of gas and then I have to build a tolerance again. In my 20s and 30s, I used to get it to the point where I could eat cheesecake, milk shakes, milk in my cereal and ice cream on a regular basis and never had a problem. Now I count my calories and watch my heart so I tend to stay away from milk and milk products for other reasons.

            Thank you. Very informative and interesting. I never knew you can build up a tolerance.Today I learned.

      Oh god a friend of mine through a series of he’s an idiot events managed to turn root beer floats into just drinking coke with milk in it. Disgusting.

      If that means there’s something wrong with you, then I’ll gladly accept there’s something wrong with me too, because I want to try some immediately.

      A root beer float is good, how bad could this be?

      Probably pretty bad, but maybe?

      We had these in my elementary school. I believe I liked them as a kid but preferred chocolate milk.

      I straight up was about to send this to my partner because we have bottles of root beer extract, but no real desire to make it right now (with yeast) and were talking about what to do with them. He’d probably be down for this!

    I’ve heard of coca cola milk so this isn’t too surprising.

    In the mid 90’s they served this at my elementary cafeteria. It was only available for a short time. It was even in those small cardboard containers. Not sure if it was a taste test or someone ordered them by mistake. They where a quarter, same as the regular or chocolate milks.
