“delicious blended food drink”!
Advertising written by the utterly deranged
Wouldn’t this curdle? I can kind of see how it would be a distant cousin of a creamsicle or a root beer float, but I think it’s going to get chunky. Maybe the “natural lemon flavor” is refined enough that it wont, I don’t know. I don’t have either ingredient on hand to try it for science.
The name “7up” would trick the milk into thinking it’s has a +7 pH, preveting it from curdling
Apparently it doesn’t get chunky. It’s pretty popular in Pakistan: https://www.eater.com/2017/6/20/15793584/doodh-soda-doodh-7up-milk-pakistan
It’s not literally 7up mixed with milk, but Milkis is a fairly popular drink in Korea, and can regularly be found in vending machines—or at least could when I lived there in the mid '00s.
Actually tried a couple of those. Must be an acquired taste. Couldn’t stand them.
First off, it really is tasty.
Second, given when this add is from, it is likely that the milk consumed by many who read this ad was close to or equivalent to the best “artisan farmer” organic milk you can find today, and the 7-Up was likely still using pure cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup.
Not wholesome, but also not the toxic sludge it would be today.
The swill milk scandal was a major adulterated food scandal in the state of New York in the 1850s. The New York Times reported an estimate that in one year 8,000 infants died from swill milk.
The milk was whitened with plaster of Paris, thickened with starch and eggs, and hued with molasses.
The fuck.
Whenever you think government regulation of something is overbearing, there’s a story like this that preceded the regulation.
Wait a minute… was this back when 7-up was still lithiated?
with a decidedly different appeal…
That does not inspire confidence
