I remember like it OK when I was three or so but by the time I started school, I hated the stuff. I was severely lactose intolerant and my 50s mother thought I'd die without milk, so she tried everything. I guess coffee flavored milk worked for a little while but it didn't fool my digestive system a bit and I grew to hate coffee as much as milk.

It's just amusing to me to see people gulping down some concoction that's as rich as 4 candy bars, all because the coffee's lousy.
