1. Does it have sugar in it, or just vanilla flavoring?
For some reason, although I take sugar in my coffee, the sweetened soy milk I bought last time tasted strange in my coffee.

:hi: zonkers!

3. I buy mine in Switzerland, but I think it's made in Italy.
I'm out right now, or I'd tell you the name. I just buy the unsweetened version now. :hi:

7. Not, yet, but I have a good excuse.
In fact, I have _two_ reasonably good excuses: 1) I'm reading "Kafka On The Shore" by Murakami Haruki (great novel, and I rarely read novels), and 2) I watched "Brokeback Mountain" last night for the first time. :hi:

Here's a :hug: to make up for my delinquency.

9. Chocolate almond milk and rum

Especially with a little almond extract to top it off. :D :D

10. Replacing soy milk with actual milk makes it taste great. Just sayin.
:P

But I live in Australia - from what I hear, cow milk might not be that good or good for you in the U.S. :scared:

12. Factory farmin and freaky hormones mess with our bodies bigtime.
But there is a big grow/buy local movement going on in many places. I do hear the quality of food available in Australia is quite excellent. I'll pass on the vegamite, though.

16. You'll pass on no vegemite, heathen! It is the world's richest source of
Vitamin B!

So there!

And there is a reason Americans don't like it. It stems from a culutural volumetric analysis.

We laugh at you for it.

(Basically, vegemite is tasty when spread very thinly. Americans think more is better (shameless stereotyping, we both know that I don't mean all Americans do it) so they put on too much.)

15. Silk vanilla soy milk is great.
It tastes just like a milk shake. The chocolate is good, too.
