Does your region have a special flavor of milk (i.e. NOT chocolate)?

One of my Pittsburgh friends introduced me to banana milk.

[-]

LadyADHD@reddit

I moved from Korea to Pittsburgh a couple years ago.. Banana Milk is a thing in Korea but I don’t think I’ve seen it in Pittsburgh outside of Asian markets

There is a local (maybe regional?) dairy brand here that does fun seasonal and limited edition flavors though!

Gravesh@reddit

Some stores carry banana flavored Nesquik powder that is quite good, especially when you mix it with a little bit of chocolate.powder.

kieka408@reddit

I grew up with that but haven’t seen it in the store in at least 20 years. One day

[-]

huskeya4@reddit

You can order it on Amazon but sometimes you get a batch that is… weird. It’s usually in Spanish but I got one batch of it that didn’t want to mix with milk and was just generally off. Not sure why.

[-]

There's a few small International stores I go to, one prominently sells British products and I usually find it there for some reason (among many other delicious foods and candies). I want to say I've bought it before in the International section of a few grocery stores. IIRC, there's a Food Lion near me that has it.

Inside-Try-394@reddit

My grandpa was a new deal ag chemist. His story about milk is simply that in the new deal era the best science of the day found fresh milk to be so nutritious it could be equated to a super food today. The government wanted Americas youth to consume as much as possible, and did all kinds of things to encourage production. They also set prices very low but guaranteed production by buying any left over milk. The flameout of this era was the, “got milk” adverts in the late 80s and 90s.

From the 50s? Into the seventies there were milk men who would home deliver milk and sweetened flavored milk. Now all we have are choc, strawberry, vanilla, and maybe coffee in New England. Back then the palette was essentially the gelato spectrum.

I remember banana (and vanilla) milk being widely available for a little bit in the 90’s or early 2000’s. I think the milk lobby was trying to make them staples like chocolate milk, but they didn’t catch on.

I remember actually really liking the banana milk.

[-]

LoudSheepherder5391@reddit

Are you sure you're not just thinking of smilk? That was the brand of flavored milk that ine of the dairy companies tried to make a thing in them mid 90s. They had a bunch of flavors, though I don't remember what ones. They advertised as you describe.

Funny thing, I still call strawberry milk smilk. Now my kids do. They have no clue why.

Could be. I just remember the ads were from the milk council or whoever did the Got Milk ads. I specifically remember one had the Powerpuff Girls and each one had a different flavor milk.

I live in Kansas City, and we have banana, root beer, coffee, cotton candy, cherry, orange dream, cookies & cream milks. Some are seasonal my absolute favorite it’s chocolate cherry, and you can only get that around Valentine’s Day. There’s some others, that are limited edition runs, like Eagle’s Tears when the Chiefs beat Philadelphia in the Super Bowl, but I don’t recall the actual flavor, but it was green, so probably a creamy mint flavor.

Yeah, sounds like I underestimated the prevalence of Mexican food in areas with small Mexican immigrant populations. Ive always lived in Texas, I figured that it wasn't so ubiquitous most places. When I have spent time in the North I've rarely come across Mexican food, though I usually travel for business, so I dont see much beyond the airport, the hotel, and the test range. My mistake.

Personal-Presence-10@reddit

I don’t drink milk or coffee but I love coffee ice cream. Because there’s just enough coffee to flavor it but loaded with milk and sugar and frozen so it’s not bitter. Doesn’t matter how many creamers and sugars I add to coffee, it’s just so bitter. But coffee flavored things? Out of this world. I just wish coffee tasted like that all the time. I think I’d like milk coffee. First time I’ve ever heard of it.

[-]

Where I live, there are a couple larger dairies that produce their own milk and ice cream. They rotate to through flavors.

The one isn't super close to me, but they have a lot of fun flavors they rotate through.

The other dairy has several local stores that sell their milk. Coffee milk is super popular. They sell that in individual bottles all the time.

The larger bottles have orange milk, root beer milk (yum), black raspberry (yum) and maybe another flavor. During the holiday they do egg nog as well. Actually, they drop the other specialty flavors and just do egg nog during the holidays.

It's sorta regional because of the location of the dairy farm. But it is more about who sells their milk. And that tends to be local independent stores. So if you don't shop there, people miss out.

Yes I was going to mention this. But it sounds like what OP is talking about is different from what we had. As in, theirs is milk with a coffee flavored syrup added to the milk.

Ours was milk with sugar and actual coffee mixed into it.

It’s what the parents and grandparents used to wean us off our baby bottles. We got to “act big” with our “coffee” just like Maw-maw. After naptime, maw-maw and pops would would have their coffee, I’d have my coffee-milk, and we’d sit out on the porch across the road from the bayou, watching the few cars drive by, watching the bayou. Then after my coffee milk was gone, they’d send me to play in the yard with a paper bag and challenge me to find fallen pecans on the ground.

Apart_Insect_8859@reddit

At BYU university campus in Provo, UT, they had the on-campus "Creamery" which offered ice cream, treats, and flavored milk. There were little vending machines around campus selling this milk (and other snacks and drinks) which was always white, chocolate, and then a third flavor.

If you found one with cookies 'n cream milk, people went insane. They would hunt down the cookies 'n cream flavor and report where they found it until it sold out.

We used to have the "purple cow" around here, a milkshake made with milk, vanilla ice cream and grape juice.

Not quite the same but I never had boiled custard until I moved to Tennessee and haven't found it since. It's sooooo good, as someone who doesn't like eggnog. It's like eggnog but without the spices and tastes like melted vanilla ice cream

SnowblindAlbino@reddit

I bought a carton of "Maple Milk" in Vermont or New Hampshire on a trip...I thought "Maple" was a brand of milk. Opened it and took a big drink...it's like maple syrup and milk, and not a hint of maple, but like a 50/50 blend. Absolutely disgusting.

Central NY dairy Byrne Dairy does a mint milk around St. Patrick’s day.

[-]

juan_humano@reddit

Pinche Broncos, as my dad used to say. Not that the Steelers or Raiders fans are any better around here (Albuquerque). At least everyone agrees the Cowboys suck.

I cant think of any new mexico specific milk flavors, unless you count the green chile milkshake at Sparkys, the famous Hatch burger spot that often gets credited as the best green chile burger in the state. I tried it (the shake). It wasn't great. Burgers are awsome.

[-]

boopbaboop@reddit (OP)

green chile milkshake

Is it green-pepper flavored, or is it like Mexican hot chocolate where it’s spicy but also has another flavor?

[-]

juan_humano@reddit

Its actually super basic, vanilla milkshake with diced Hatch chiles in it. For those who arent familiar with New Mexico, it is a state obsessed with chile (they are on the licenseplates) and perhaps the most iconic chile is the Hatch variety of green Chile (Hatch is a town as well). They can vary from mild to extra hot. The one I had was mild, almost no heat. It wasn't gross or anything, but definitely a gimmick.

Ive also had green chile beer that was delicious (and actually pretty spicy) and a green chile ginger ale that was just eh. Green chile pizza is a staple. But green chile burgers are ubiquitous. Several huge national fast food places offer green chile burgers regionally in New Mexico, and there is always fierce debate about which local place makes the best one.

[-]

AtheneSchmidt@reddit

Autocrat coffee syrup has HFCS in it as sweetener. It’s up there with Narragansett beer and Del’s lemonade as Rhode Island things I won’t eat. I grew up with Silmo from New Bedford. They were out of business but a family member started it back up. It uses sugar instead of HFCS.

Now I want a coffee frappe. In my part of Massholia, a frappe is a milkshake with a lot of ice cream in it. 75 years ago, a milkshake just had milk and syrup without ice cream. That thankfully went away.

Stew Leonard's (a small, but famous, grocery store chain in the NY/CT region) has cookies and cream milk at certain times of the year. Does that count? But, it isn't ubiquitous for the region, which is what I think you are getting at....
