(ramble) Strawberry Milk; Friend or Foe

A few years ago, in the early stages of my intolerance of lactose, I had written a short essay to procrastinate writing actual essays for school.  I recently found it on a hard drive and figured it was good enough to share.  Enjoy.

It has been years sense my last encounter with strawberry milk. I think I was seven at the time. Anyway it has been so long I couldn't remember if I liked it or not so I purchased the carton.

First I examined the exterior packaging. Pink mostly with some red and white. There is a soccer player with a green striped jersey. The exterior can tell you a lot about what is on the inside. Under the pouring spout are the nutritional facts such as 115mg sodium, 0g fiber, etc. The other side tells you it is pasteurized and lists the ingredients, nothing important. The carton also tells me I have 500ml of 1% partly skimmed strawberry milk.

I spread the cardboard flaps peeling the diamond shape a part. I lift it up to make contact with my lips and allow the first few drops of liquid to flow into my mouth. This first taste left my uncertain so I dove in for more. Pink deliciousity.

I begin drinking quick as I approached the subway when I remembered my problem with milk. If too much milk enters my system the results can be disastrous. By the time got on the subway I felt it brewing. I tried to push the feeling in my stomach out of my mind as I made my way closer to home. The milk bubbled as it mixed with my stomach acids. Will I make it? I leave the subway and light a smoke. It helps.

By the time I get home my stomach problem had dwindled to gas and all seemed well. Most milk would have sent me to the bathroom for hours. This leaves me wondering: is strawberry milk my friend or my foe.

 The other day, while I was clearing out some space on my external hard drive, I came across a project I started working on a few years ago.   I had colored the 1st page and started on the second when something made me completely forget about this comic.  So I finished the second page and decided to give you people a taste.  Squirt and Bernie is a story about a squirrel who sells weed for the beaver mafia and the consequences of being arrested by the police bears.  It's going to be a fun ride.
