A dairy going tits up?

[Gay State Conservative]

I love milk...always have,always will As for “almond milk” I must say that I absolutely love almonds. But I don’t have the faintest desire to try “almond milk”.and never will.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

“Its largest creditors are two of its pension funds, which together are owed more than $33 million, Borden said.”

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation - call your office. Taxpayers get haircut.

[Karma_Sherab]

But I don’t have the faintest desire to try “almond milk”.and never will.

Same here. Isn't there some kind of legal stuff going on with the dairy industry trying to protect the usage of the term "milk" so that "Almond Milk" can not be called that anymore?

[Red Badger]

It ain’t bad.

But it ain’t milk.

Some people can’t drink the real stuff.

But I’m not one of them...................

[Red Badger]

What udder nonsense!...................

[mad_as_he$$]

They call it “almond milk” because no one wanted to be selling nut juice.

[Red Badger]

Same thing they did to Kraft in the 1920’s when Velveeta was cutting into ‘real’ cheese sales................

50’s ad for Borden’s milk. What a different world...

[ex91B10]

+++++...listed debts between $100 million and $500 million...++++

I never saw a balance sheet stating liabilities "somewhere in the vicinity of...". Accounting sure has changed since I got my degree.

[Daffynition]

I still have this cute vintage creamer....owned by my late mother. She used to call it *Elsie* and only was used on holidays and for her bridge club get togethers..

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Fake milk, fake beef, now fake pork sausage... poor Elsie... I’ll kill rep buying real milk no matter the cost; hope they survive

[Red Badger]

Common Core Accounting..................

[heavy metal]

nut juice is milking the system...

[newzjunkey]

I like almonds and almond milk is OK but I didn't stick with it for cereal and cookie accompaniment. I tried soy milk and it was sickly sweet.

My favorite right now is a Coke-backed brand called Fair Life which is filtered cow's milk that is lactose free and tastes like I remember cow milk tasting. I'm lactose intolerant now and don't care for so-called lactose free milk which just adds lactase.

[Red Badger]

I wonder if he liked gladiator movies?..................

I never thought I would see the day with Borden’s about to go bankrupt. But then, no business is guaranteed to last any given time, certainly not forevermore.

I’m lactose intolerant, and have not drank milk from a glass for over 50 years. I’m one of those people who will pour’fresh water over my corn flakes and bananas.
The cereal flavor is actually improved with water vs milk.
I learned to ignore the puzzled stares of others.

The only other equal-shock would be if Nestles’ Chocolate were to go bankrupt too. That would never happen, right?

[grey_whiskers]

Note that Elsie was the cow, Elmer was the Bull.

Recognize the face from Elmer’s Glue-All...? It was originally a Borden product. (*)

(*) Why you’d have the picture of a bull on a bottle of a sticky white unidentified liquid, is best left to the experts...

[lee martell]

Lol! Ain’t that the truth?
