“that’s a lot of choices”
Stfu and pick one. You sitting there having a casual conversation on your couch. Meanwhile the driver just standing there in the milk aisle staring at their phone for 5 minutes while you want to know all the options and hem and haw.
It’s probably at a cafe or something
90% chance the entire conversation was made up for the meme.
If the Dasher is standing in line at Starbucks waiting for an answer that makes it 10x worse lol
That is very likely what is happening
Possibly does not equal very likely
Well considering most people don’t use DoorDash for groceries…
Says who… I delivered for doordash for a while in a medium-ish sized US city and lots of people did exactly that.
You don’t see it as often as you see fast food because groceries were added later than restaurants. People think of it as “eating out with even less effort”
Having someone else stand in line for your fast food is so incredibly absurd I still can’t get my head around it
I remember when fast food was actually fast…

Someone who ordered oat milk to begin with shouldnt have any troubles navigating the world of milk.
Eh. Oat milk is really popular for some reason. It could very likely be the only other milk they know. If someone was drinking rice or soy milk though then yeah I don’t know how they wouldn’t be familiar.
I tried soy milk before I tried oat milk because soy was the only cruelty free milk I knew about. But I eventually tried all the varieties and determined that oat milk tastes the best.
Oat milk tastes like oats. Which is good if you want to taste oats, and bad if you want to taste anything else.
It’s pretty good. Creamy, not too grainy or anything, tastes pretty good with the vanilla and doesn’t use nearly the amount of water crop wise.
But also I can cook with it.
But I do look forward to if that yeast milk ever makes it to market.Soy milk is great, but it’s not a good milk substitute.
It should taste beany, and that’s not really what I want with my cereal. A Chinese cruller, on the other hand…
I’ve only had soy milk so I guess I am just blind to the world of plant milks
Another one I like is coconut + rice. It’s more like a milky drink than milk, but it’s tasty.
Life pro tip: If you are vegan and lactose intolerant get oat milk. Out of all the alternatives that one tastes the closest to the real thing by a country mile.
Yeah but they’re out
No, they’re oat
I thought they drank Parmalat up there in Canada.
Idk, I never figured out the bags. Poked one with a straw, but when i set it down to get a cookie, it just like spurted milk, like a mortally wounded animal bleeding out.

Go sit on the bench
Oat milk is also the best for the environment by an unironic country mile.
Even better than soy? Soy is my favorite
Just think about the difference in producing Soy and Producing Oats.
Oats are cheaper, more widespread globally (farmed in most climates) around the world and require less water. Obviously it would be the better option.
That’s not to say that Soy milk isn’t good. It’s just not as good
My grandfather farmed both soy and oats, but I wasn’t aware there was a drastic difference between the water consumed. Now I know. Sucks because I really think soy has the best texture and flavor, but I’m not that picky
Don’t worry too hard about it. Even partial reduction is great. Personally I’m just a vegetarian.
Everyone does their part somehow. Don’t let purists discourage you from reducing to the level YOU are comfortable at
Thanks for the encouragement! My main thing is I have celiac and severe lactose intolerance. I can drink that lactose free milk, but I prefer to drink plant milks. The one I’ve tried to avoid is almond milk, after my discord buddy explained how wasteful it is to produce them.
Almond milk uses tons of water compared to other plant milks, but still much better than cow milk at least.

I have a hard time finding oat milk without added sugar, and I also find it expires much faster than almond milk. I get unsweetened oat milk if I think I’ll be able to go through it quickly enough otherwise I have to dump like more than 50% which feels like a waste in a different way.
I tried oat milk. While it tastes good, IMO it tastes nothing like milk. The closest description I could give for the taste being “cereal juice”
It’s an interesting cooking ingredient though. Certainly has its own unique flavor. It’s also a nice refresher drink.
My biggest gripe with oat milk is that it isn’t as “filling” as the alternatives. It’s a drink, not a food. So when I try to 1:1 use it as a substitute it can leave me feeling sick (example, my morning coffee which I load with milk to get me started)
TLDR: be mindful of the fact that it’s VERY different from milk, even if oat milk tastes good.
That is why oat milk is perfect for cereal
I love oat milk in my coffee. It’s got a good texture if that makes sense
Mouthfeel you mean?
Listen I’m a trans woman so “mouth feel” has a specific connotation haha
So oat milk doesn’t have the same mouthfeel as…
Disappoint :(
This fucking sent me 😂
DON’T
The way I’d describe it is that, compared to other milk alternatives, it is the has the most body.
ie, think of it being closer to full-fat milk than to non-fat milk. You’ll notice that the taste lingers in your mouth a bit longer. (body can refer to it lingering for various reasons, but in this case, I think it’s fat content, like in milk?)
Another one with a body you might like is rice milk.
fwiw taking a food tasting or wine tasting or coffee tasting class is fun; can pick up taste descriptor words: https://winefolly.com/tips/what-is-wine-body-and-how-to-taste-it/
Soy milk has actual soybeans in it though and therefore better nutritional value in most cases.
I already get enough soy nutrients because tofu is delicious
It is indeed
vegan or lactose intolerant

I just thought up a great business model and it’s five times as exploitive as doordash plus we could roll it out for Christmas. By the time the novelty has worn off we should all (and by we, I mean everyone who isn’t working for or using the app) be rich. Who wants to help me build doordance?
That’s ridiculous.
DoorPrance would eat its lunch.
yeah? how about DoorVixen, or DoorDasher- wait…
Your biggest mistake is that you’re joking.
Ooo do we get to dance to The Doors? I love doing that. It would be even better if I got paid to do so!

The entire text conversation is fake 😱
Not everyone busy it as a milk substitute. I buy it because it tastes nice, and don’t bother with alternatives.
Yup, I keep a carton of oatmilk in the fridge for coffee (and occasionally to drink on its own, but it’s full fat so it’s rather caloric), and a carton of good ol’ cows milk as well. I don’t need it as a milk substitute, I just like it!
Imagine your job being to shop for richer people and have to write them because of something like that. What a time to be alive.
DoorDash is a scam and should be shut down
They are always out of Oat Milk because it’s the G.O.A.T. Milk.
I once had a roommate from India who saw “got milk?” on a carton, and thought it was goat milk.
That’s actually pretty confusing if you haven’t seen the commercials.
Nothing really compares to real milk though.
Eh, I outgrew human milk at a pretty young age actually.
Have you tried it since?
They won’t sell it to me when I asked :(
I do like the packaging though.
hard disagree my dude but it’s ok we can dunk our biccies in whatever we like
How come you’re saying “real milk” when you mean “breast milk”?
A fellow scholar!
Dasher?
DoorDash food delivery guy
DoorDash delivery driver
I only see two options: almond milk and breast milk
I just want milk that tastes like real milk.
This tastes like real milk, and only 2% fat.
Looks significantly at your stomachSoy milk is the only non-dairy milk I’ve tried that comes close. It’s not 1:1 but it’s good enough to be used with cereal and not be super weird at least. And the vanilla flavored one isn’t bad as just a drink.
This is interesting to me. I attracted a number of downvotes too when I said I like soy milk. Maybe this is one of those things like pineapple on pizza that’s very polarizing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s not even like I go out of my way for it. It was available. I tried it. I found it pretty good. I still get whole milk for myself, but if I had to take a non-dairy option, it would be soy.
Soy has always been my favorite. I mostly drink plant milks on cereal, and I feel like it works better flavor-wise and has the creamiest texture, but ultimately different people have different tastes.
I’ve never tried a variety that tasted bad at all – oat, flax, cashew, rice, hemp, whatever – they all taste good to me.
There are a strange group of people who look down on others for eating soy because they think it contains enough estrogen to make you trans or something.
Oh yeah. I didn’t think there’d be many of them here though, but I never really understood that in the first place!
There are a number of federated instances that have no join requirements. People can just join them without an admin approval. So they join and lurk for a few weeks downvoting things they don’t like and then they go on a spam spree posting racist or violent content, before swiftly being banned.
Good convo
Rice milk not an option?
Literally a waste of time.I genuinely wonder who skimmed milk is made for.
If you can’t drink whole milk due to the fattiness, you’d surely just drink semi-skimmed milk (2%)
And if you couldn’t drink it due to the lactose, you’d just go for milk alternative.
So who is skimmed milk for? Who’s buying it?
People who are still afraid of dietary fat from the anti-fat craze of the 80s and 90s.
If you’re watching weight, cutting calories from milk of all places is the worst place to do it. At least from whole down to skim. All the healthy stuff actually just so happens to be in the tasty part, the cream, since milk does these thing of mixing the ”sugar” into the cream in the form of Lactose. Cutting that out just leaves you with a worst-tasting, less nutritious beverage aside from the fewer calories.
If you want fewer calories but still have nutrition, soy is the way to go.
The soy would be great if they made it less salty. It’s usually much cheaper than cow titty juice in my region.
I’ve found the shelf-stable tetra-pak versions usually have fewer ingredients. Trader Joe’s brand here in the US is just soybeans and water.
Why not go for buttermilk instead? The brunt of those dietary fats they are so scared of is in the butter…
It’s cos it tastes better in tea.
I don’t like the fatty bit in tea. I like it in coffee, but not tea.
But why not 2%/semi-skimmed? You get the milky flavour, but not as fatty.
I haven’t drank milk in decades but before I quit I was drinking skim because the milk with fat made me nauseous and it tasted better. Eventually even skim milk made me nauseous. Fortunately I have always liked my coffee black. Although I cut out caffeine a few years ago so now it’s black decaf on a rare occasion. Yeah I’m fun at parties too.
To be fair, that sounds like an intolerance to milk/lactose, which is a pretty good excuse for cutting milk out your life.
Probably not worth pointing at now, but have you considered trying milk substitutes. Oat milk is pretty good - I keep some at home cause I like both it and regular milk.
Yeah I don’t miss milk and cheese doesn’t bother me. I don’t drink high calorie drinks, just water or carbonated water most of the time.
If you’re on a low-fat diet ordered by a doctor for some sort of health reason, or maybe if you simply prefer the taste of skim? I can’t imagine anyone preferring it, but people do enjoy some strange things so maybe.
That would be a valid reason, but that wouldn’t explain the massive volume it sells at.
Seems from the comments here that some people do actually prefer skim, can’t fathom why, but they do
My mum does, it’s all she’s had my whole life. She would buy us full cream and her skim. She is skinny and ripped af for her age. I drink soy and oat now and she brings her own milk to mine when she visits lmao
Probably people who think it’s healthier.
It is healthier.
Stop drinking fat water you literal babies.
You don’t need trace nutrients from cow titties, you need to eat some goddamn vegetables.
I drink a cup of choccy milk with my salad.
Consider I’ve joked that skimmed milk is water dyed white, I can’t help but laugh at whole milk being called fat water haha
Wouldn’t you be better off drinking a milk alternative if you wanted a healthier drink? Oat milk is healthy and environmentally friendly(-er)
If you wanna be healthy you should drink a milk alternative anyway IMHO
I would suggest water but we all have our vices.
If skimmed milk is your vice, you must be a Saint haha
Water doesn’t make my coffee lighter
I don’t like coffee so I just drink hot water with cream and sugar.
Fuck that, trace nutrients from cow titties are goddamn delicious and I will not be shamed into drinking the sad calcium-water wannabe that is 2% or skim milk. I will drink my whole milk loud and proud, fuck the fat content. My bones are smiling at me, Imperials, can you say the same?
There is really nothing better than whole milk on a bowl of granola for breakfast. I wasn’t a whole milk fan until I had kids and tasted what whole milk was like on cereal and in coffee. Plus if you actually have a cup of whole milk, it’s so satisfying and filling, it’s practically a meal substitute.
Now there’s no going back.
