Rooster_Ties Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 (edited) With dinner tonight, I bought a small 16oz bottle of this ("Yogurt Soda"), and just wanted to say: YUCK!!!! I usually like a bunch of the weird stuff I find at our local middle-eastern combination “bakery / mini-grocery-store / restaurant (cafeteria-style)” emporium -- but I gotta go on record as saying that "Yogurt Soda" is some mighty nasty shit. One 16oz bottle has enough salt in it for 40% of your recommended daily intake. Imagine taking plain soda water, mixing it with plain yogurt, and pouring in about half-a-cup of salt. Uuugh...

Jim Alfredson Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 Thanks for the warning, although I doubt I would be as brave as you to begin with! Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted July 25, 2003 Author Report Posted July 25, 2003 I thought it was gonna be sweet. But if I had checked the label first, I never woulda bought it. Actually the label says that one serving size has 19% of the daily reccomended salt intake. But it's only when you realize that there are TWO "8oz servings" in the 16oz bottle, that you also suddenly realize that the frickin' thing ought to be called "really god-damn salty-flavored yogurt soda"!!!

pryan Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 I agree with B-3er; my congrats on even trying the stuff, I certainly wouldn't have. Quote
JazzKitten Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 May be it's not meant for imbibing straight-up, but rather as an ingredient for cooking? JK Quote
JSngry Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 Imagine taking plain soda water, mixing it with plain yogurt, and pouring in about half-a-cup of salt. No, dude - YOU imagine it. Quote
JSngry Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 I'll take a McGriddle, thanks! (the syrup's baked in, ya'know) Quote
JohnS Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 I've never had a McGriddle, subliminal or otherwise. Quote
slsmcgrew Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 I'll never have a McGriddle subliminal or otherwise. Can't stand syrup. Can't bring myself to eat anything with Yogurt either. Gag-me Quote
JSngry Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 But........the syrup's BAKED IN! (and if you go to the "right" McDonalds, you can get a "different" kind of syrup, if you know what I mean... ) Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 JSngry, this McGriddle fetish is starting to worry me. Don't tell me you're giving up playing to become one of those guys that stands out in front of the Math & Sciences building at the local university usually spouting off about Creationism... but in your case... a certain strange and mystical fast food product.

slsmcgrew Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 I can see it now. JSngry suing Mickey D's for his dependency on McGriddles. Oh, the horror. Man suing for addiction on McGriddles. It will turn out that Mickey D’s had a special ingredient in the McGriddles so that those who ate them would develop an addiction. Quote
mgraham333 Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 Here's another warning. Stay away from Cranberry Lambic. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I couldn't even finish one. Quote
Big Wheel Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 Yecchhh. I will confess to enjoying their cherry wheat, even though it's about as girly as beer can get. Quote
chris olivarez Posted July 26, 2003 Report Posted July 26, 2003 How's this for vile? Dip a tofu hot dog in the yogurt and have some beets on the side. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted July 26, 2003 Author Report Posted July 26, 2003 And on a related note... Barbecued Tofu Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted July 26, 2003 Author Report Posted July 26, 2003 (edited) The whole site is in Japanese, so I haven't got a clue about this, except the name of the image itself is... tofu-donuts_2.jpg Yup, that's right, tofu donuts!!! Edited July 26, 2003 by Rooster_Ties Quote
jacman Posted July 26, 2003 Report Posted July 26, 2003 i never eat fast food, but after reading all of the posts on this thread, i have a sudden craving for a McGriddle...whatever the hell that is. Quote
jacman Posted July 26, 2003 Report Posted July 26, 2003 And on a related note... Barbecued Tofu barbecued tofu is pretty good, almost as good as fried tofu. Quote
JSngry Posted July 26, 2003 Report Posted July 26, 2003 Don't fight the McGiddle Jones. The syrup's baked in, ya'know. Quote
JSngry Posted July 26, 2003 Report Posted July 26, 2003 Tofu gets a bad rap. As far as a main flavor, it sucks, but putting it in with things that actually DO have flavor is very economical and nutritious - GREAT source of protein. The stuff acts as a flavor sponge, so it's perfect for really spicy Asain dishes, where the texture is non-obtrusive. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted September 1, 2003 Author Report Posted September 1, 2003 This just in from www.CNN.com!!! Milk with bubbles reaches market Sunday, August 31, 2003 Posted: 8:42 PM EDT (0042 GMT) "Refreshing Power Milk" MILFORD, New York (AP) -- Adding bubbles to milk is tricky. Pump in too many, and it foams over. Add too few and why bother. George and Mary Ann Clark, husband-and-wife entrepreneurs, have spent the past seven years trying to find the balance. Last week, they started production on a carbonated milk-based drink called Refreshing Power Milk -- RPM -- and they already have orders coming in from school districts. Mary Ann Clark, a registered nurse, said she was pained to see children drinking cola and shunning milk when she worked in schools so she decided to do something about it. "If you take water and add carbon dioxide to make soda, why can't you do that with milk?" she asked. She and her biochemist husband started work on a carbonated milk drink in 1996 and founded Mac Farms Inc. in 1998. The company already sells eMoo, another carbonated milk drink. On Wednesday, in a factory with a barn-red roof and purple-and-yellow cow out front, the first batch of RPM was bottled. The Clarks combined water and powdered milk to create a slightly fizzy, mildly milky-tasting drink with the nutritional value of skim milk and 40 percent of the recommended daily amount of calcium. Each 12-ounce serving contains 90 calories and 12 grams of sugar, compared to 150 calories and 40 grams of sugar in a 12-ounce can of Coca-Cola. RPM contains 9 grams of protein compared to none in a can of Coca-Cola, but is higher in sodium: 115 grams to 52 grams per 12-ounce serving. The flavors: vanilla cappuccino, Brazilian chocolate and chocolate raspberry. Researchers at Cornell University had been looking for ways to extend the shelf life of dairy products using carbonation when the researchers teamed up with the Clarks several years ago. Joe Hotchkiss, chairman of the Department of Food Science at Cornell University, said the drink was designed to attract people who like soda. "People consume food based on their sensory properties, taste, what kind of emotional feelings it gives them," said Hotchkiss. "Our role is to provide that similar kind of satisfaction in foods, but also couple that to foods that are more nutritionally sound." Quote
Jazzmoose Posted September 1, 2003 Report Posted September 1, 2003 Mmmmmm! Bet that would go down well with a McGriddle... Quote
Ed S Posted September 1, 2003 Report Posted September 1, 2003 Mmmmmm! Bet that would go down well with a McGriddle... The syrup's baked in, don't ya know. Quote
