After a reccomendation from EK about trying Liberte’s Kefir probiotic drink, I got around to purchasing two. They run about $4 each and to describe the product, the site says:
In ancient times, East European nomads carried milk - of goats, sheep and other animals - in skin bags as they traveled from place to place. The fermentation that occurred in the bags turned the milk into a unique-tasting thick drink, today known as kefir.
It’s certainly not yogurt per-se, although it’s a fermented milk product.
I tried it and got that familiar ‘fermentation’ taste mixed with berry - almost like when a batch of berry juice starts to go bad in the fridge after a month. I’m sure you know what i mean. The pleasant side-effect I got was that the constant indigestion I’ve been having lately went away within 30 minutes of drinking half of it.
Anyhow, I think I’ll try to stick with drinking it, hopefully it’s an acquired taste.
Olivia doesn’t feel the same. After taking her first drink, she retched, farted loudly, and declared she would never have any more.
There’s a Starrrrmannnn waiting in the sky!

I once found a carton of milk in my fridge that had expired two months prior. I tried dumping it down the sink, but it was more of a solid than a liquid at that point. Like Olivia, I retched. I had no idea that people would pay $4 a bottle for that privledge.
