Milk and Chocolate Milk in Soft drink cans?
I'm surprised no one has thought of this yet....it would also make it easier for schools to carry them in vending machines instead of actual soft drinks..
But has Hershey or whoever makes the Skim Milk in that pink and white carton thought of putting them in Soft Drink cans? I find that with any big 2Liter bottle, wether it be milk, or coke, goes by way too fast. But when I have the small soft drink cans, it seems to last longer. Plus, you can stock them up easier in bulk buys.
Anything like this exist?

Re: Milk and Chocolate Milk in Soft drink cans?
Milk and chocolate milk would require constant refrigeration. I can't think of another single canned drink that requires constant refrigeration so I'm sure adding milk into the mix would cause a huge headache to any manufacturer, distributor, etc. when it would come to storing vast amounts of it unrefrigerated with the rest of their supply.
You can get Yoo-Hoo in a can which is dairy-based but I believe they do something akin to pasteurization with it and anyone who's had Yoo-Hoo knows that it's not quite like chocolate milk, it's thinner and more "watery" (but still awesome).
Don't you ever, EVER compare me to "Family Guy," you hear me Kyle? Compare me to "Family Guy" again and so help me, I will kill you where you stand!
Do you have any idea what it's like? Everywhere I go: "Hey Cartman you must like 'Family Guy,' right?" "Hey, your sense of humor reminds me of 'Family Guy' Cartman!" I AM NOTHING LIKE FAMILY GUY! WHEN I MAKE JOKES THEY ARE INHERENT TO A STORY! DEEP SITUATIONAL AND EMOTIONAL JOKES BASED ON WHAT IS RELEVANT AND HAS A POINT, NOT JUST ONE RANDOM INTERCHANGEABLE JOKE AFTER ANOTHER!

Re: Milk and Chocolate Milk in Soft drink cans?
Also remember that milk expires quite quickly.. This isn't an ideal product to sell in vending machines!
I'd like to see schools replace soft drinks in vending machines with water and juices.

Re: Milk and Chocolate Milk in Soft drink cans?
The dairy industry would like nothing more than to have a product, like canned soft drinks, with a long shelf life and room-temperature storage requirements. Believe me, they are working on it.

Our school has done this. No soda in the vending machines. Just juice, gatorade, water, etc.

Re: Milk and Chocolate Milk in Soft drink cans?
I'll say this, I really got hooked on coke and 7up in high school. That's why I'm trying to change my drinking habits now...Milk and CMilk ain't so bad wants you get used to drinking it regularly  .
At least I can use Coke Zero and be a little better off than regular coke . |

Re: Milk and Chocolate Milk in Soft drink cans?
Most schools in our area have taken out vending machines completely and have water in bottles offered alongside milk and chocolate milk in the cafeterias.
Father: She didn't say, "I'm not in" She said, "We're not in" "We," you see, "we" Now what does "we" mean.
Bobby: I believe it's the plural form, indicating more than one. Do you want me to conjugate that for you, pop? Do you know what conjugate means, dad?

Re: Milk and Chocolate Milk in Soft drink cans?
Parmalat lasts a long time so long as it isn't opened.
One problem with the vending machine idea is that Coke, Pepsi, 7-up all dominate the vending machine business, so how would you get milk in there unless distributed by Coke or Pepsi?
Schools would have to either put vending machines in on their own ($$$) or figure out a way to get in on Pepsi/Coke's vending business.
Either way, it's too expensive for me, and I would always simply bring milk from home.  (Which is what I do now even though I work at a place with a cafeteria. The cafe. charges $1.25 for a bottle of Snapple that I can get on sale for like 40cents a bottle... Yikes!

There are NO dairy products in YooHoo!
