White Rabbit Milk – Yep, THAT White Rabbit… in Milk Form!
White Rabbit Candy was one of my favorite candies while growing up. I absolutely loved the texture and the edible rice paper. White Rabbit fusion items has become popular-ish over the years, such as ice cream and other sweet treats. I heard there were White Rabbit popsicles, but I was unable to find those nearby, but I was able to find White Rabbit Milk. Yep… the white rabbit candy in milk form.
White Rabbit Milk Packaging
Thank goodness for the logos because otherwise, I couldn’t read the non-English! The White Rabbit popsicles come in a similar package, but it’ll have photos of popsicles instead. The White Rabbit Milk box was rather sturdy and very cute. There are 6 packages of the milks with straws within each package. The box’s top contains a handle. It wasn’t really necessary, but it created additional functionality.
The Date = Production Date – Consume Within 6 Months of this Date
There is a rate on the box’s top right above the handle. All the boxes had that date or a date that was before today’s date. They couldn’t all be expired, right? Elsewhere on the box mentions the shelf life is 6 months, so this date on top of the box is the production date. March 4, 2021, so we must consume them all by early September.
Just Doesn’t Seem Quite Right to Me
I’m too used to milk cold or heated up and not drank from a carton at room temperature. Even putting these in the fridge doesn’t do it for me because of the thought of them sitting in a small carton at room temperature for so long. The kids would sometimes have milk in these juice-pack containers and they would have no problem drinking them at room temperature or cold. They really like those because of the straw aspect and it’s more appealing to them than milk poured from a larger carton. Ugh, how do I get over this for myself?
The Nutrition Label
70 Calories big and bold, but it says 2 servings per container, so each little 200mL carton contains 140 Calories. 7g fat, 14g carbs, and 4g protein. The ingredients are raw milk, water, white sugar, cream, mono and diglycenn fatty acid esters, sucrose fatty acid esters, carrageenan, and food flavor. Was this a translation or does this milk really contain all that? Food flavor?? What?
Look and Taste
A bit self explanatory. It really does just look like milk. The consistency is thin. Taste was OK… I’m not a nonfat, 1 or 2%, or whole milk fan, but the consistency reminds me of a lower fat milk because of its thinness. This white rabbit milk actually does taste like white rabbit, but in milk form. It reminds me a bit of cereal milk, or the sweetened milk in the bowl after eating all the cereal. I think I’ll enjoy it more if it were super chilled or in a different form, such as in coffee or something other than just the white rabbit milk.
What Should I Do?
I thought to make some ice cream with these milks, but it won’t really work without some actual white rabbit candies melted. A recipe calls for 1/2 cup of milk and 30 white rabbit candies melted to it and mixing that concentrated mixture into whipped heavy whipping cream and freeze. Milk for coffee might be nice too, or just as a milk substitute for something else that calls for milk. I won’t enjoy drinking these as is, but it seems the kids like them.
Worth It?
Not right now.. it may be worth it after I find something to do with these, but I don’t really have a purpose for these. They did not wow me. The white rabbit candies are better in my opinion because well… I don’t really like milk! The logo was so cute and the nostalgia prompted me to try the milk. Each carton is around $2 if you do the math, so that alone is a bit too much. I still want to try the popsicles though! Perhaps those would be great in taste and texture and would lead me to buy them again.
