    I had a roommate that loved milk so much, they would snort powdered milk regularly in the bathroom.

    There is a drinking chocolate powder in the UK called “Galaxy”. Which is intended to be dissolved in hot water instead of milk, therefore it contains milk powder. But if you mix it into hot milk, it is really amazing!

        “It comes in a solid 50lb semi hydrated slab! You cut yourself off a hunk and mix it into the powdered milk/liquid milk milk so you can get absolutely the most milked milk out of your milk that man has ever milked! And if that’s not enough we’ve got a whole division dedicated to milking milk from animals no one has ever milked before! (What!? No, it’s not cheese… Yes, I know cheese is made from milk solids! No. It’s not cheese damn it! It’s chemically diverse from cheese… Because I looked at the lab results that’s how! Cheese doesn’t move on it’s own!)” - also probably Cave Johnson

    Actually this is really common.

    In areas with unreliable power, powdered milk is much more common. People often do mix it super thick and spread it on bread.

    Obviously not a balanced diet but you could do a lot worse for a cheap meal.

    Powdered milk is a miracle wasted on the poor, the fact that no company has jumped on “freeze dried milkshakes” that you just add water to shows that America has lost its entrepreneurial spirit.

      Freeze drying doesn’t tend to work all that great on fats which whole milk has a lot of. Not tonsay it can’t be done but its generally more effort than its worth for the result

          The cheap skimmed version does suck yeah. But the whole milk powder I’ve been using tastes just fine in cereal, coffee or anything I cooked with it.

          Much better than any other shelf stable milks I’ve tried and beats frozen milk hands down.
