I used to live off beer and milk during my uni days basically

Same on the beer but replace the milk with whiskey and various substances. And cheap delivery subs and 3 pizzas for $15 deals that I swore would last all weekend and I'd wake up still drunk Saturday afternoon wondering where my pizza went.

but do like it in smoothies or with cookies and what not.

Yeah that part is 100% fine by me, I like smoothies and I like chocolate with milk on occasion. Just getting a glass of normal milk is a bit different:puke:

Do they? I've often heard they feed their small children "formulas" instead of milk. It does sound very weird and dystopian.

Formula is for infants and there's been a decent resurgence in avoiding it if possible. IIRC it's not recommended to use formula for the first 6 months though recommending something to people, especially Americans, goes about as well as you can guess.
But every household I visited and stayed in as a kid always had milk in the fridge. If bad storms call, you know the grocery store will run out of two things: milk and bread. Sadly, the milk-bread fanatics deny us our ritualistic meal during storm-time, the sacred milk sandwich.

Not gonna lie, I think Bri'ish people have been so indoctrinated with propaganda that America is Mad Max-Super-Scary-Experimental-Science-Radiation-Die Die Die-Everyone Got a Warhead in They Pocket-Land that they cannot be similar to us at all and must always notify Americans that they are not similar to us. Somehow this all lead into that I really thought that British people just had no interest in the microwave and thought it was so lazy and dangerous that they refused to buy them so they never took off there. One day a friend from the UK said he was going to heat something up and I was like oh on the stove or oven and he was like, uh the microwave? Blew my fucking mind. Bro wasn't gonna heat it up in the kettle?! Preposterous.

They do, that doesn't force me to enjoy it. Do you not have foods where you live that you do not enjoy?

I do try foods I hate once or twice a year usually to try and enjoy them and still do not. Rarely I would drink chocolate milk but I've never once thought about drinking a glass of milk outside of it being chocolate-fied by dunking too many Oreos in it and even then I'm only really drinking it to not be wasteful. Dairy in general is not very appealing to me. I can eat/drink milk and cheese but I'm not going to melt if it disappeared either.

No stomach issues I assume?


Euros love bringing this up. Big day for you all when American cheese released.

No stomach issues. Not really, no. Then again, I did stop drinking milk before work or social gathering because it can make me tummy feel funny.

I'm not from one of those countries which pride themselves on their cheese *too* much like France or Netherlands, but there's definitely an old tradition to some of the sorts I'm used to eating.

The cheese I buy and eat regularly is what would probably be marketed in US and some EU countries as "organic" or some such catchy term, and would probably be sold for some insane price because of exclusivity. It's made in small quantities by a single family, and milk comes from a few cows that they own. There's no industrial production whatsoever.

In reality, it's a very common thing around here, the price is fine and the taste is fabulous. So yeah...I guess US people miss out. No wonder US is going to shit.

Whiskey wasn't something we had major access to during uni, because it's kinda expensive. The good stuff is, anyway. Other stronger alcohol was readily available though.

Fair. I liked the higher shelf stuff of course but often was buying the lower shelf shit like Evan Williams.
Wild Turkey or Maker's Mark were the more expensive ones I bought often but rarer occasions I'd buy some real top shelf shit.

Another issue over here is that the selection wasn't all that large and most of the stuff was expensive on account of import, if anything else. So pretty much everything was higher shelf stuff for us.

Very sad. But good at the same time. Don't drink that gasoline! I have two bottles of the same decently high shelf bourbon in my house I still have yet to open. Something with a buffalo on it. Had it like 4 years ago at a new year's party and said, "Hey this is pretty good" and my family was like oh a bourbon he didn't know about? Let's buy him some as a gift! Without realizing I probably won't drink it lol.

I love milk, but too much will have me on the toilet all day.

American "cheese" is not even allowed to be labled as cheese. It is a cheese product. I also hate those pre-shredded bags of cheese. It's covered in that white cellulose powder. Just grate your own. Melts better too.

That rubberish feeling cheese they also sell in SE Asia. And some powder milk (Milo), also marketed a lot. Similarly how they sell some weird diluted/oversugared honey with lots of marketing. But in SE Asia it's oft too hot to make much milk from dairy cattle as I understand and I have never seen any domesticated bees either, so there's that. US supposedly IS NOT in tropics (aside Florida, who has more alike climate, I guess) though, which makes their cheese deficit weirder.

Feel free to send both bottles to me.
 
Monkey Shoulder and Screwball are good. Screwball peanut butter whiskey is the only one I can drink straight without gagging. The rest have to be mixed.
 
Here's one- 10mm pistols are absolutely OP irl. Theyre regularly used as self defense weapons against bears and sometimes it feels like Fallout undersells how strong 10mm is. Ive fired a Springfield XDM in 10mm and it damn near felt like firing a .44 magnum. If anything, it's slightly about .45 acp in terms of power
