      Yeah, the top-half is simplifying a bit, because well, it is a meme, but apparently, there’s also just multiple ways to do it.

      Some companies do mix oat, water, amylase, oil, sugar and whatnot.
      Whereas the oat milk I have at home, genuinely just lists as ingredients: water, oat, salt.
      In the descriptive text, they do tell, though, that they ferment the oats.

        i assure you, every oat milk you have purchased has used enzymes to convert the starches to sugars. otherwise it would taste like paper.

    My oat milk gymnastics:

    • Shamefully ask for oat milk
    • Nobody cares but I feel weak for being unable to handle standard milk any more
    • Why can’t I have soy? It tastes bad but it’s more common
    • Wonder if the people behind me are judging me for asking for long winded flat white
    • Wonder if I’m holding up other people’s orders because the barista has to clean out the milk jug to clean it between milk and oat juice
    • taste it and then go “I guess it’s not so bad”
    • small relief knowing it probably can’t be off unlike the few times I’ve had sour milk
    • coffee still makes me go to the bathroom, just less violently

      I mean, that sounds like you’re lactose-intolerant, so I definitely wouldn’t feel bad about it.
