When we were in Davenport, Iowa, at the HyVee there was a woman handing out
samples of flavoured milk. There was vanilla, orange, a couple of others I
don't remember. She said the product was being introduced not so much for
drinking as to add something to plain cereals like corn flakes or Cheerio's.

To me it was just another way to sell us sugar - yes! Add it to milk! But I
suppose for those who want the taste without piling sugar on a plain cereal
it's a good idea.
