Organic Valley Lactose Free Lowfat Chocolate Milk (2025)
Notes:
| Well, I agree with the label-- "New Taste." I definitely preferred the old one, which was similarly bland, but had a nicely light-enough cocoa flavor that you could convince yourself it was 'deft' or 'sophisticated.' This version carries one of the stranger cocoa flavors I've had, especially for a meant-for-the-mainstream product. It hits like a cooked vanilla flavor, but even less sexy than that sounds. Strikes me as odd that the ingredients have no hint of vanilla or flavor additives or anything-- how they managed to get this flavor out of organic cocoa will remain a mystery to me, and perhaps is something I should laud as a feat of bioengineering. The remainder of the drink is drably appropriate for the lowfat/lactose free archetype-- a slightly saltier-than-sweet ratio is its most palatable feature. |
