I'm more intrigued at the idea of an animal based sparkle.

It’s not sparkles, but the ol’ Costco did have an animal based head scratcher on offer today

what they do is recombination of ingredients. orange juice is prototypal for this, where they mix in multiple varieties of orange juice, one part of it basically a sweetener which is entirely composed of orange juice, another part of it basically an emulsifier composed of the emulsifying parts of orange juice, one part of it a tasteless unemulsified intense orange color, etc etc and mix it up. most common (basically omnipresent) is a "flavor pack" made out of peels. on the ingredients list they can colorably put in just "orange juice not from concentrate" and not get sued, but it's a lotta food science legerdemain, just entirely in orange juice.

same w/ the oat milks, but with oats. or soy milk, with soy. i don't mind that poo poo but they do it so be advised

I remember seeing both how they made orange juice on the history channel 10+ years ago and also something maybe a week or so ago about the same thing. Yeah, the orange juice you get is not fresh squeezed orange juice. You need to do it yourself for that.

With "fresh" orange juice they have to do something like remove all of the oxygen from it which makes it flavorless and then yeah, as you said, the orange flavor puck is thrown in.

At my local supermarket there’s a juicing machine where you put oranges in one end, get juice out the other, and it even bottles it for you. There’s definitely a market for that kind of thing, even if most people want things to be consistent and predictable.

The trick is the juice you get from the other end is from cheap store brand OJ

There is a type of that machine at a diner near me. It has a bunch of pieces of oranges in the top hopper and it crushes them for fresh juice. I've never had it before because I don't drink orange juice but it's neat.

That was hilarious.

They sold individual bags of fruit that you'd put into the machine and it'd squeeze it for you. The thing is.... your hands work just as well lol.

I once had a roommate that would juice at 4 AM. I wanted to kill him. Thankfully he moved out in a couple months so I didn't have to commit homicide.

I was over in the Netherlands and Belgium last month and literally every supermarket has one with a giant hopper of oranges and you can fill your own bottles. I drank so much fresh orange juice when I was there.

They'll probably get them back. Kind of a almost seasonal thing from my experience. They are very popular, so as long as Costco can get a good price on them, they'll keep stocking them. I've had items disappear for months, come back, sell out, come back months later. The chili flavor is great, but I hope they get other flavors eventually.

Thank you for the reassurance. I'm hoping perhaps it's a summer thing.
Yes the chili was delightful, I shamefully destroyed the first bag in one sitting. I got better at portioning, eventually.
I really wanted to try the jalapeño queso flavor next!

They're in the supermarket but at 1/6th the size and 4x the price.
I'm not that addicted.

I milked a cow once when I was like 7 years old. Obviously WI has a large dairy industry so our school brought us to a cow farm once.

It feels really weird.

Also, you can't tug on it like a dick. There's a method.

While I appreciate your optimism, I habitually check to see if the awesome marinated mushrooms in like a quart glass jar have come back, and they never do. I've been checking for like 3 years now.

I milk myself quite often and the technique is quite different from milking a cow. It involves leather and/or anal implements. To start with. Once the chains and whips come in then we're going somewhere.

Yeah, try doing that with a cow dude.

Any good snacks or holiday items at Costco to keep an eye out for? My wife is going tomorrow. I think other people mentioned the Thornton one near top golf, it's my "local" one, but still about 20 minutes away.

Human food marketed for dogs? I wonder if they taste better than Hormel products, which are dog food marketed for humans.

There's a cranberry goat cheese in the cheese section and it's wonderful. We graze a lot during the holidays so we do a lot of charcuterie type stuff. They've got some nice salami and other meats, cheeses and crackers if thats your thing.

I stumbled across a mini-documentary about Jamon the other day and if I see one at my Costco, I'm buying it. Only 5 provinces of Spain are allowed to farm them (they also exist in Portrugal, but under a different name), they only allow 2 pigs per acre and they eat acorns ya'll. They even have different grades of it (black > red > green > white). I imagine the ones at Costco are white seal, but that's still good rear end ham.
