why does premade chocolate milk from the milk aisle taste so much better than any chocolate milk that you can make at home? it's so rich and creamy and it beats the hell out of nesquik and ovaltine.

I read that many Americans believe that chocolate milk comes from the tits of cows that generate chocolate together with the milk.

it's the pus and scabs from the cow that give it that extra kick

Nesquik and Ovaltine aren't chocolate milk.

something i heard a long time ago but don't know if it's true or not. if you've ever seen the local dairy truck pull up and restock a convenience store, you'll notice they replace the normal milk with new shit and take away the stuff near its expiration date. from what i heard they take that milk back to the plant, re-pasturize it and fill it with chocolate flavoring and sugar. that said the store bought chocolate milk tastes better because the recipe was probably created by someone with a bit more knowledge in creating recipes that are regionally, nationally and globally marketable.

Why is it called ovaltine? Isn’t the container round? It should be called roundtine!

It's often made with whole milk, has a better blend of flavor than just syrup, and generally also uses a thickening agent like carrageenan for the creaminess you describe.

It's cylindrical...

[Anonymous No.15294133]

At the milk plant, they literally use a giant blender to mix a sweetener/flavor powder into the milk. It's like Quik/Nesquik.

Mix it yourself in a blender, chill... same thing.
The difference is you're not mixing it enough.

Doubtful.
They're fussy about maintaining cold chain, and usually offer full credit for drained empties or expired/close dated product.
Expect that it's dumped or donated to a food pantry.

Check the label, see it all there.
Stabilizers and thickeners that prevent the cocoa powder from settling on the bottom before being bought, which is unappetizing, and needing shaking.
Extra sugar.
Traces of flavoring that enhance the milk's cream flavor, vanillin and caramel coloring kinds of flavors, not so much that you'd notice them outright, but they're in there!

Ovaltine and Carnational Chocolate malt include that maltiness, which is nice really.

that's not true. chocolate milk is usually 1% milk, meaning it's got less fat than either whole (3.25%) or partly skim (2%). it's equivalent to skim milk (1%).

the reason it tastes so good is because of the stuff that's in it. they put in some chocolate, and tons of sugar. a cup of chocolate milk has about 27 grams of sugar, whereas regular milk has about 12 g of sugar (and only from the lactose).

so in chocolate milk, you're getting a tiny bit of milk chocolate flavor and 15 g of pure sugar in each cup.

> that said the store bought chocolate milk tastes better because the recipe was probably created by someone with a bit more knowledge in creating recipes that are regionally, nationally and globally marketable.

All they did was add an excessive amount of sugar to match the oversaturated palette of an average Americans diet.

1. Use raw cocao (not processed cocoa)
2. Make your own caramel as the sweetener
3. Add a tiny amount of actual chocolate and vanilla to the caramel
4. ???
5. PROFIT!

It's literally corn syrup, that's it

[Anonymous No.15294573]

>>15293997
Corn syrup and thickening agents in liquid form, by the tanker truck load.

[Anonymous No.15294582]

>>15294072
No. They don't do this at all. It costs WAY too much to process the old milk to return it to the store. It would be cheaper to simply use fresh milk. Plus, there's always an oversupply of fresh milk.

Old milk and fresh oversupply milk is either dumped or sent to the rendering plant.

Because you have shit taste from having your taste buds oversaturated with sugar.

>thickening agents
Yeah this is why it seems creamier even though it's usually made with low-fat milk. You can thicken milk a bit with corn starch at home, or mix in some heavy cream to make it richer which might taste better.

the carrageenan has some side effects too but in small quantities its not going to be noticed. drinking choc fairlife multiple times a day, every day, though, you'll prob get symptoms just as bad as regular lactose milk would have given u

too much sugar, syrup, and artificial flavors.

Do i admit too enjoy it from time to time.

[Anonymous No.15295791]

This board that stupid? It's sugar bro, sugar, they add a bunch of sugar to it to make it taste good. Literally look at the ingredients on the back of what you're drinking.

And this goes for everything btw
>how do they get oatmeal to..
Sugar
>why does my sweet baby rays....
Sugar
>yeah but mcdonald's buns
Sugar

And if not sugar then salt and fat. Grow some brain cells please.

they also add salt
add some salt to your well mixed home choco milk and take it to the next level

they just dump the expired milk down the drain and recycle the carton
