Yuck

I didn't think it was a good idea when I first saw it, but I didn't want to criticize something when I haven't experienced it for myself, so I kept quiet. Well, now I can say from personal experience that soy milk in coffee is flat out nasty. It might be okay if you're used to skim milk, but I prefer half-and-half, and the lack of fat really takes away from the mouth feel (i.e. watery instead of creamy). Plus I just can't deal with the intrusive bean flavor on top of the coffee taste. If I didn't mind adding funky-tasting protein to coffee I would've just masturbated into the cup. Guess I'll have to take my soy milk straight up (maybe with a dollop of maple syrup to sweeten), and hit Trader Joe's for the moo juice.

I only had soy milk at the time because I happened to hit 99 Ranch first, since it was near where I picked up my held mail, and the SD branch didn't stock half-and-half, unlike the Richmond store. Although they did have the freshly-made, still-warm, unsweetened soy milk, unlike in the Bay Area. Hence the acquisition. Fuji apples were 79 cents a pound. They must be dyin' up in Washington.
