Megnut yesterday:
I don’t frequent Starbucks very often, but when I do I order a latte with organic milk. The last time I did so, I noticed the barista pouring milk from a small square container, like the kind soy milk comes in. So yesterday I ordered a latte and paid attention and noticed that yes, the barista was pouring milk from a Parmalat organic milk carton. Parmalat is what’s known as “shelf-stable” milk, meaning it doesn’t need to be refrigerated.
This mysterious, novel “small square container” is a Tetra Brik, and Canada alone goes through 1.4 billion of them a year (about 110 billion worldwide annually). Many ingredients at Starbucks, including drink bases, are shipped in “small square containers.” Parmalat is a company, not a variety of milk. This is what I told her by E-mail, at least. And her response today was a disingenuous “I’m not sure I said anywhere that it wasn’t” a company and not a brand. Can’t reread your own post? And what about the mysterious small square container?
