"I'm sorry, I didn't know your trigger was s*y milk, do you need a safe space to calm down before facing the big scary coffee shop again?"
A proper response to someone giving you shit about soy milk or almond milk or any other type.
Or anyone who parrots Republicans and their AnTi-wOkEnEsS lines.
I am triggered by almond milk!
Because I am allergic, which is why I get oat milk.
I am allergic to all of them :(
I am so sorry. That is more intense than my run of the mill nut and legume allergies.
Its not the nuts/oats but an (emulsifier?) additive they use in all of them. Actual coconut milk/cream is fine but not from a carton as 'milk'.
Even oat? Ouch.
Sometimes the alternative also just tastes better. I have coffees I prefer with oatmilk purely for that reason, no issues with standard dairy. Shit, I lived off chocolate Silk for like a year, still haven't found a chocolate milk as good as their old recipe.
Same way I've had General Tsos tofu made with Soy-Vey that was better than a lot of the chicken I've had. I'd happily eat that again, and I'm normally not huge on tofu.
I love oat milk and so does my wife, but because she also likes it and it's expensive she only lets me use it in oatmeal, which I think defeats the point. It's really good in cereal too, but I don't really eat cereal much.
I miss the old Silk chocolate soy milk. Have you tried the Planet Oat chocolate oat milk? It's my new chocolate milk drink of choice.
I have not, but I will keep an eye out for it!
Pro tip: drink/eat anything with lactose, take a picture of the toilet bowl and show it to morons who say this.
