“delicious blended food drink”!
Advertising written by the utterly deranged
Go easy on them, this was from a time before humanity had the sun.
Or color.
The phone number is 4 digits. I realize we added area codes. I didn't realize we had already done it once before that wet the other 3 digits.i wonder if they still have a xxx-xxx-3577 phone number floating around the company somewhere
Wouldn't this curdle? I can kind of see how it would be a distant cousin of a creamsicle or a root beer float, but I think it's going to get chunky. Maybe the "natural lemon flavor" is refined enough that it wont, I don't know. I don't have either ingredient on hand to try it for science.
The name “7up” would trick the milk into thinking it’s has a +7 pH, preveting it from curdling
Made my day with that joke
Apparently it doesn't get chunky. It's pretty popular in Pakistan: https://www.eater.com/2017/6/20/15793584/doodh-soda-doodh-7up-milk-pakistan
It's not literally 7up mixed with milk, but Milkis is a fairly popular drink in Korea, and can regularly be found in vending machines—or at least could when I lived there in the mid '00s.
Actually tried a couple of those. Must be an acquired taste. Couldn’t stand them.
Same. I bought two at a local Asian grocer near me without knowing what it was, just to try. After forcing myself to finish the first couldn't bring myself to start the second.
Just went to Korea last year, they still sell Milkis in all the vending machines and convenience stores and it's divine. Yogurt soju + Milkis is a recipe for a great fucking time.
It's salty fizzy yogurt, basically. Popular in Iran too, called dough/ayran.
The description of this combo being similar to lassi made it instantly 180 from vile to tasty in my mind. Now how long until I find myself buying 7up and milk at the store..
First off, it really is tasty.
Second, given when this add is from, it is likely that the milk consumed by many who read this ad was close to or equivalent to the best "artisan farmer" organic milk you can find today, and the 7-Up was likely still using pure cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup.
Not wholesome, but also not the toxic sludge it would be today.
The swill milk scandal was a major adulterated food scandal in the state of New York in the 1850s. The New York Times reported an estimate that in one year 8,000 infants died from swill milk.
The milk was whitened with plaster of Paris, thickened with starch and eggs, and hued with molasses.
The fuck.
Whenever you think government regulation of something is overbearing, there's a story like this that preceded the regulation.
Apparently this story preceded some asshole politician blocking regulation despite public outcry and working super hard to make sure nothing changes, successfully for the most part.
Wait a minute... was this back when 7-up was still lithiated?
with a decidedly different appeal…
That does not inspire confidence
Try it - it's different!
I was a kid growing up in 80s Japan & they had this drink called “Calpis” and it was milk and orange soda. And yes, the Japanese pronounced it like “cow piss”. I hated it.
Calpis isn't carbonated tho, at least none of the Calpico branded stuff I've had. Milkis is very similar and is carbonated, so it would probably be closer to this. Personally I like both Calpico and Milkis, they are definitely not my favorite but they are good to have every once in a while, owing especially to their unique taste.
We also had a milk-orange jus drink in france in the 2000's. Absolutly disgusting. Danao, launched in 1998, nerver consumed by anyone, still available today!
Of course it's still available if no one has consumed it!
they're still trying to sell off the first batch
I had it about 10 years ago in Japan. It wasn't that bad and basically a yogurt morir soñando like in the Dominican Republic.
Pocari Sweat was worse. It tasted like its name.
I kind of want to try this...
It sounds like the end result would be similar to a French soda, which is delicious. I don't love the flavor of 7up, so that wouldn't be my first choice, but dairy and soda aren't a new combination.
Pilk
I don't think it sounds terrible either. I'd try it with a Strawberry soda first.
and vanilla ice cream instead of milk. yum.
I've seen children whose teeth had rotten due to being bottle-fed soda and in extreme cases it leads to them getting sick and having the teeth surgically removed. As a result those children's adult teeth almost certainly will not grow in proper alignment and it can lead to a lifetime of inconvenience at best.
Is Pepsi okay? This is very gross, please send a wellness check.
Good old Pilk.

I wonder how many mothers back then read that and thought:
"No I do NOT know. In fact my instincts tell me this is bullshit."
Well, "mothers back then" drink alcohol and smoking while breastfeeding, so 7-up and milk is a high probability combination.
Huh? I thought citric acid makes milk curdle
That's why you don't stir
It's not that different from a New York Egg Cream, which is chocolate syrup and club soda mixed with milk
As any Irish mammy will tell you, a flat, warm 7-Up is the cure for all childhood illnesses.
