Tiny Cat Pants: I Gush About Sweet Acidophilus Milk

I Gush About Sweet Acidophilus Milk

Y'all, we have this thing down here--Sweet Acidophilus milk--that makes me so happy I just about can't stand it. Purity makes it and it is good (and, supposedly, cures cold sores). Purity also drives around town in these cute black and white cow colored trucks, which I also love, because I am a dork. So, anyway, sweet acidophilus milk. Before I moved down here, I had never heard of it. I drank 2% like the rest of fat America and was happy. I found 1% and skim to be watery and tasteless and a cruel trick our mom played on us when she didn't have time to get to the store and made us drink "her" milk. But sweet acidophilus. . . it's not sweet. I don't know what acidophilus is, maybe it's rendered baby fat; I don't care. The thing is that it tastes good. I can't remember the last time I had a glass of milk just because, but last night, I did and thought, damn, I'm glad I moved down here and learned about this shit.

Anonymous said...: I will tell you what it is (you know how I hate uncertainty so I had to go look it up). This is from a Disney webpage that was linked from the purity milk products page (so you know this is hard core authoritative information), but it is a bacteria called lactobacillus acidophilus that is in the milk. According to the purity page, it also prevents kidney stones and yeast infections.

I'm having diet coke with lunch because it keeps me awake and I like the sweet chemical taste - SuperGenius; 4/22/2005 12:34:00 PM

Wait, I'll go check......; 4/22/2005 12:56:00 PM

Aunt B said...: Beer in a can is now something special? What is this world coming to? Pretty soon, it's going to be a priviledge to use a dirty toilet and folks are going to line up in front of my house for the priviledge of sharing my bathroom with my dog.

As for the synchonicity of "acidophilus," that's pretty funny. I'd love to hear it in a Sting song, but I'm not sure what rhymes with it--aweful puss, all of us... I don't know.; 4/23/2005 10:33:00 AM

THE CAST OF CHARACTERS

Aunt B.--Your kind host.

The Butcher--My youngest brother, who lives with me and works as, you guessed it, a butcher. He knows everyone in town.

The Recalcitrant Brother--Our middle brother, who lives in rural Georgia and has a kind of movie star life, if that movie star is Burt Reynolds in Deliverance.

The Reverend--Our Dad, a Methodist minister, perpetually three years from retirement.

Mom--Our Mom. She doesn't get a funny nickname because our mom will not stand for funny nicknames.

Mrs. Wigglebottom--My dog. She's got terrible manners.

The Corporate Shill--Or The Shill, as we call her. My friend from college who was constantly getting me into trouble and going to parties she neglected to tell me about where cute boys would ask her "Where's Aunt B.?"

The Legal Eagle--The Shill's husband.

The Super Genius--She lived next door to me my freshman year of college and we've been friends ever since my first day on the floor.

Miss J.--My first adult friend, meaning the first lasting friendship I made after college. She was my roommate in grad school.

Her Lover--Her Husband.

The Divine Ms. B.--Miss J.'s sister and one of my heroes, because she's brave and funny and mystic and fearless.

JR--My oldest friend. I've known her since I was in the second grade.

Elias--JR's husband and the person who's musical tastes have most strongly affected my own. Oh, how I long to be cooler than him!

The Professor--My closest friend here in Nashville. She's a genius, but she'll never tell you that.

The Man from GM--I've known him since I was 16 and he still hasn't forgiven me for telling him I was a vegetarian when I wasn't.

The Redheaded Kid--No one knows where he comes from or where he goes when he leaves here. I assume he's the Butcher's friend. The Butcher assumes he's mine.
