Every eggnog fanatic should try the Golden Eggnog by Hood. It’s robust.

It is quite nice. I actually like it best in hoji-cha (which I buy at Sunrise Market).

I like one (1) sip of egg nog every now and then, but my husband will drink as much as I can keep in the fridge. I'll go get him some tomorrow, thanks

Why are you buying Vermont ice cream in Oregon? Lochmead ice cream is superior anyway. Heathen. Your Eugene card is now revoked. No more cheap canabis for you. Or OCF passes.

u/AlternativeNo4919 Oct 16 '24
Lochmead is cheap ass dog dirt bro. I want them damn toppings. Oregon ain't exactly known for it's dairy like Vermont. And I don't smoke anyways but I've lived here since birth for 30+ years and you ain't revoking shiiiiiiiet Felicia. I'm the one who gives out the passes, poseur!

Egg Nog reminds me of Candy Corn. You buy it and try a bit, then never touch the rest.

As someone who cares about workers' rights, I don't shop at Dari Mart.

u/Rizzie_01 Oct 16 '24
Care to elaborate? I've heard that they are not the best to their employees but I don't have any personal experience.

u/chronicMeme Oct 16 '24
Low pay, inconsistent hours, favoritism with distribution of hours, many part time positions so they don't have to provide full time benefits... The list goes on, and that's just the store I work at.

Well I could tell stories, but management has a really bad attitude with employees. One woman I work with was fired when she got pregnant. I was fired when my schedule changed and I didn't come in on time that day. The district manager's boss (who did not identify herself) came in for some special treatment and I didn't give it to her, and he showed up to bitch about "how I talked to his wife." Another guy who worked the night shift was fired when he disclosed that he had a gun to protect himself. I never saw it, nice guy, but he told the wrong person.
They were always trying to run the store with one person. Not that I cared, but it was a lot of stuff to do for one person. They asked for 110% and paid 60%.
Once I was going on a short trip and needed a shift covered. I wasn't going to see the manager for a while (night shift) and no one at our store could do it, so I called other stores to see if someone wanted the shift. I found someone and did the manager's job for him. Well that certainly made shit fly at HQ. They were pissed at me...they refused to train me... some managers were good, others treated you like a wet rag.

The Lactaid Egg Nog is really good, I recommend it 🫶🏽

u/trxmas Oct 16 '24
Unfortunately, whatever is in cow's milk that makes my body react very negatively is replicated with Lactaid. 😬

u/debidousagi Oct 16 '24
I can't wait to visit friends and family in Eugene this holiday season and drink my fill haha!

u/trxmas Oct 16 '24
I wish there were an actual EGG eggnog that didn't have cow's milk. Oat Nog is okay, but the egg really makes a difference. Might have to just try my hand at crafting some at home.

I have never enjoyed any sip of egg-nog based solely on the name. I don't really like the thought of drinking eggs lol I dare you to find a ickier name for a drink

Egg nog is good and all, but the animals that are responsible for creating the ingredients live short and tortured lives. You can be sure that the eggs that are used in commercial eggnog production come from some of the most abused animals on the planet.
Consider an animal-free alternative this holiday season.

For what it's worth; Lochmead Farms, who makes the Dari Mart Egg Nog, has free range dairy cows. Not sure where they get their eggs specifically but I know they source locally.

u/FullmetalHippie Oct 16 '24 edited Oct 16 '24
Unfortunately this doesn't really mean anything. Almost all dairy cows qualify as free range. One only needs pasture access a few hours a day for 6 months of the year to qualify, and it doesn't make a lot of economic sense to keep a dairy cow in continuous confinement if you are planning on using the animal until her reproductive system slows down.
The issues facing dairy cows are much more to do with being kept in a constant state of pregnancy, developing painful mastitis on their udders, being separated from their offspring, and the brutal treatment and infant deaths of males.

They separate the calves from the mother at birth. That is torture for any animal. She has birth after birth, loss after loss. The calves that aren't slaughtered live in tiny sheds like dog houses, alone. And I once saw, at my horse's stable near Bend, two cows shot in a pasture and their bodies winched into the butcher's truck. The other cows ran in circles around the bodies, mooing. I stopped eating meat that day and have never missed it. I also worked at chicken farms in Pleasant Hill, "chicken picking" or grabbing the chickens by a leg, handing them to loaders who slammed them into cages on a truck. Plant based chicken and veggies burgers for me.

Just saying this sentiment to want good treatment of animals comes from a good place but in this case the "free range" label is there to placate people, not be a good indicator that animals are being treated well.

You are directly calling for the continued use and abuse of intelligent and sentient animals for your optional taste pleasure.
If ever there was an appropriate place for a mild and non-forceful suggestion to make use of the many alternatives, it's places like this.

Eugene thinks of itself as so enlightened and so close to nature, blah blah blah yet still thinks they have to eat animals for protein. Keto fans, that cow muscle you eat for protein, what does a cow eat to produce all that lean protein muscle? Grass.

I wish I liked eggnog, but it just taste like creamy cinnamon bubblegum to me :(
