I'm drinking organic!

[Archae]

Oh yeah!

Now before anyone gets all wound up, let me explain.

I love eggnog.

And our local grocery had quarts of Horizon Organic eggnog, 1/2 off in price.
It was the only eggnog they had left.

So I bought 2 quarts.

1. Did you add some organic rum?

[ProfessorGAC]

2. Isn't It All?

Since the taste comes from aldehydes and ketones, and the buzz comes from ethyl alcohol, all rum is organic. At least based in organic chemistry. (Sorry, couldn't resist. My advanced degree in chemistry is in organic mechanisms. It's a perfect set up for a geek like me.)

3. OK, smart alecky professor

I have to agree with you that all liquid refreshment except water are organic in one sense.

4. Two senses in the case of alcohol

You forgot about your liver.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. I Said I Couldn't Help Myself!

At least i admitted it!

5. But, but

aren't those chemicals?

I'm going to have to learn to use emoticons so I can put in the "sarcasm" thingy.

6. CHEMICALS? in MY food products?!

7. The ingredients, as listed:

Organic grade A nonfat milk, organic cane sugar, organic grade A cream, organic egg yolks, organic tapioca starch, natural flavor, organic nutmeg, organic locust bean gum, gallan gum, vitamin A palmitate. Contains milk and egg.

12. Tastes like pancake batter

Not surprisingly with the added starch and gum.

Real eggnog has eggs, dairy, sugar, spices, and preferably bourbon.

13. OK, what is the point in having "organic" cane sugar? By the time its boiled, 3 times or more...

to separate out the molasses, its not going to have pesticides or anything in it but sugar. There is no chemical difference between it and the "unorganic" sugar you can buy at the grocery store.

8. Labeling allowed you to chose

and Horizon sucks.

[Omaha Steve]

10. I love the Horizon brand

I have not seen their eggnog here.

This is what I drink. The omega-3 is not from fish, it is plant based:

Reduced Fat Milk with DHA Omega-3 Treat your family to the goodness of Horizon® organic milk, with the added benefit of 32 mg of DHA Omega-3 per serving. DHA Omega-3 is a valuable nutrient that may help support the brain, heart and eyes. Available in half gallons.

11. How much is a half gallon in your area?

Here, it's $6.

14. You want to see some stupid marketing?

I weep for some of the reviewers though.

Also, just to make things stupider, this is unrefined rock salt, which will actually have MORE "chemicals" in it than most table salts. Lots of iron, other metals, like arsenic, etc.
