Current Events > Millennials have now killed Milk

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/12/business/dean-foods-bankruptcy/index.html

The 94-year-old company has struggled in recent years because Americans are drinking less cows milk. 2019 has been particularly brutal: the company's sales tumbled 7% in the first half of the year, and profit fell 14%. Dean Foods (DF) stock has lost 80% this year

Millennials!

Milklennials

I wonder how much of this is schools cutting back on serving milk for lunch.
---

I only use milk for cereal anymore.
---

I love how every time the media complains about Millennials killing something, it's something that needed to go anyway.

Actually it's down about half a percent.

I prefer almond milk.

I can't remember the last time I used milk outside of a recipe. I still eat dairy products but I basically don't consume milk directly.
---

Milk does not need to "go away" lol

But once you become an adult, you realize the only drink worth drinking (from a financial as well as a health standpoint) is water.
---

Not this millennial. My locally-produced milk is too damn good to give up and is also affordable compared to most if not all regional brands. I will never pay $5 per gallon for milk whose taste doesn't even come close to the milk I get for less than $3/gal.

No shakes?

All they use is soy milk in their chai lattes

I only really ever drink water

Milk is usually not great, but it's good for cooking with.

well that was a letdown

vague reasoning followed immediately by a contradiction

You must forgive DevsBro. He simply never had legitimately good milk.

can't live without milk but apparently too much can be bad for you.

This but vanilla flavored. Healthier and better for the environment.

i drink milk every day

Pretty much me, too

Milk is a good drink though, although like I said it's not worth the cost unless it's a special occasion.

I wonder how many people in this topic who say milk isn't good either a) have never drank whole milk or b) have only drank an awful value brand of milk or both.

Agreed 100%.
It's good for little kids who need calcium and calories to help grow. As an adult it's good for making stuff like pudding where you need the bacteria, and it's good in cooking/baking (particularly stuff like mashed potatoes).

But for drinking? fuck no

*shrugs*

The question was sorta off at an angle. Despite the title, the trend is that millennials don't drink milk. So naturally I explained why drinking milk needs to go and then corrected the assertion that I was talking about milk as a product.

Millennials arent killing businesses thatare already dying. Millennials dont want to go to X corporate restaurant because of Big this or that is after their money. So rather than walk in a chain restaurant for a burger theyll go to a good truck who has no standards and has never been assessed by the FDA. If anything millennials are killing themselves with their paranoia and aversion to corporate products. Hence why craft beer is so popular.

Ok boomer

Cool.

If being nasty isn't a good enough reason, then ok.

I'm pretty sure food trucks need to be inspected the same as any other restaurant.

:thinking: Dont see the words I hate and millennials. If anything that comment is countering the stereotypes with actual observation.

Or should I have put as much into my post as you did yours with ok boomer?

Just like every other drink from bottled water to sodas to beer, not all milk brands are created equal either.
