Milk

For Christmas I got some chocolate milk mix, which meant, of course, that I had to get some milk. I could just mix it in water as I know some people do but that's just gross. Why would you do that when it's not called "chocolate water"?

I have bought milk in China before and it can come in a carton just like in Canada - or more commonly in the US - but I've found it quite difficult to actually find said milk. Usually they come in little personal bags, and you just stick a straw in it - but then I have to deal with figuring out which kind of milk I want. They don't have just plain milk, nor do they have the options of skim, 1%, 2% or homo milk.

No, that's too simple. Instead I have to try to decipher Chinese; or find someone who speaks English; or try to figure it out from the pictures (which is way more difficult than it sounds, in my defense) which ones are soy milk, which ones are strawberry milk, which ones are cocoa milk (it's really not chocolate, trust me, I know these things), which ones are regular milk, which ones are blueberry milk (I think, don't hold me to that), or which ones are actually yogurt.

Normally I wouldn't really care, I'd just grab a box of bags of milk and hope for the best. But in this particular case, I'd really rather not mix my Nestle chocolate mix into soy milk - or worse - into yogurt. So I actually spent about 5 solid minutes in the milk section trying to figure out which one would end up working the best with the chocolate mix.

What I ended up choosing tasted like regular milk but with an aftertaste of soy milk. I haven't tried it with the mix yet, so here's hoping for the best!
