Greetings again. It's Friday, and today I have for you

Strawberry & Cream Flavour Sparkling Chupa Chupilk

God, it's got a long name, and it pours badly. Can says it contains fructose-glucose syrup, so I'm noy exactly hopeful-- though it does seem to contains strawberry juice from concentrate. It also contains cranberry for some reason? Smells reasonably sweet, and I'd say it certainly reminds me of strawberries and cream sweets, but not real strawberries and cream.

Yeah, that'd pretty much what it tastes like, too. It's trying a little hard to be strawberries and cream, and that sweetner is making it a little artificial.

5/10. Genuinely the taste is just "okay". I would rather actually just be eating strawberries and cream.

It's a nice hot day here today, so I'm making something that can cool me down.

Shaken Udder Scoff-The-Lot Milkshepsi

Well, the bottle boasts that it's made with real cinnamon, and it sure as hell smells like it is. Consistency is slightly thick, and has a faintly milky foam.

It's smooth, sweet, and flavourful. Compared to the milkshake on its own, the cinnamon flavour is far more potent, and its noticably sweeter. Whether you like this or not is up to you. For me, it places it at;

9/10. Really good, just gotta be in the mood for something extremely sweet.

A little over two years ago, I began drinking pilk every Friday. To celebrate that, I've made

Birthday Cake Yazooepsi

It's got a slightly thicker consistency than other drinks I've had, though something about it is distinctly slimy in its viscosity. The foamy head that forms when you mix this doesn't dissipate at all, and certain parts of it look slightly lumpy. Smells vaguely of vanilla and strawberry.

Taste is super sweet vanilla, and the viscosity is... weird. It's not slimy, but it's not not slimy. Bordering a little on unpleasant just from the amount of sweetness you get.

5/10. Drinkable - the vanilla is nice, but I think the sweetness detracts from the whole thing.

Happy Pilk Friday everyone.

Dr. Peppilk Blackberry

The pilk has a faint blackberry smell. It's the same shade I'd expect a pilk to be, so nothing extraordinary in looks.

I can definitely taste blackberry, and it has the same mouthfeel as Dr. Pepper. It's sort of sharp in the mouth, but the milk has definitely mellowed it out.

10/10. Very pleasant drink, actually tastes like blackberry.

[donseycat]

Once again, we find ourselves at Friday.

Orange Cream Coca-Colilk

This one's a lot foamier than you'd think, Doesn't have any specific smell, and is sort of brown. The part on the can that says "& other natural flavours" kinda worries me.

While it's definitely a unique drinking experience (though I think you could accurately describe any of these pilks as a unique experience), it really can't be described any further than that. Kind of feels heavy in the mouth?

5/10. It isn't really orange, vanilla, or coke.

[donseycat]

Friday!

Barr Candy Creationsilk Fruit Burst

The bottle very proudly proclaims it has no sugar in it, which does not fill me with hope. Smells vaguely like exotic fruits, I guess? It's maybe a little pineapple-y. No actual flavours are listed on the back, just "mixed fruit flavour".

Okay, weirdly, I've had a pilk like this before, and kind of recently. It's got a very perfume-y taste, and the sweetness is kind of sickening - exactly like the Oasilk Exotic Fruits - but worse. At least in that one I could taste an actual fruit, not just vague fruitiness.

4/10. Not worth it.

[donseycat]

Happy Friday everyone, it's time for me to drink something new.

Caramel Blondie Yazooepsi

Two finished pictures, one before mixing and the other mixed; the foam top wouldn't go away though. Smells strongly of caramel, almost on the edge of being a little sickly.

Tastes like a caramel coke float. Texture is slightly thinner than an actual coke float but it isn't a bad approximation. The pepsi's only really bringing more sweetness.

6/10, different drinking experience to the Yazoo on it's own, but if you want the taste, get an actual coke float with caramel ice-cream.

Well, it's Friday again. Today, I'm making

Cherry Bubblegum Flavour Sparkling Chupa Chupilk

What a mouthful.

It smells slightly fruity, but not entirely cherry? I think if I didn't know it was cherry, I wouldn't have been able to tell that it smelled of cherry.

Okay, I can sort of taste the cherry. I don't think I'm getting any of the bubblegum flavour, but I can taste cherry very faintly. Something about the whole drink is kind of difficult to place.

5/10, there are better cherry flavoured pilks out there.

[donseycat]

It's Friday again! I've picked one today that I think is gonna be great.

Virgil's Root Bilk

Its source soda smells really similar to a liquorice jellybean, with a slightly medicinal hint, and the bilk smells kind of similar, but way weaker.

As expected, there's a medicinal taste, and a lot of sweetness. The bottle says it's cane sugar, and I can definitely taste something similar to demerara sugar. If you don't like fizzy root beer and you wanna dampen the taste a little, this is how you can.

10/10. Overall, very pleasant drink.

[donseycat]

Barq's French Vanilla Creme Sodilk

There's no difference in colour, but the smell I'm getting from it is sort of like vanilla? Probably akin to a vanilla buttercream.

Definitely still has a vanilla flavour, but unfortunately it's overtaken by the artificial sweetness. That's kind of all there is to it.

5/10. A little too artificially sweet.

[donseycat]

Good afternoon, all. It's Friday again, which means I have a pilk to make.

Oasilk Summer Fruits

Well, it's pink. Since I'm somewhat ill, my sense of smell hasn't been the greatest these last few days, but I can very clearly smell some of the fruit. It's far more pronounced in the oasis drink itself, but it's unmistakably redcurrant. I wonder if the pilk itself will taste of it, too.

It kind of does! It's a little more muted behind all the other flavours in there - I'd say that it tastes like a slightly higher quality mixed berry flavour sweet. Not unpleasant at all, but I wish it was a little stronger? Better than the drink on it's own, though.

I'll say 8/10. Maybe I'm docking points for the fact that I'm ill and may not be experiencing the full flavour.

[donseycat]

what the hell is pilk

I get this one a lot. Pepsi and milk! It's pretty good!

There's actually a section on the rules page that says what pilk is, too. For things like sprilk or peggnog, I understand confusion (Sprilk is sprite milk and peggnog is pepsi and eggnog). I reccomend trying all three (maybe not at once, maybe all at once, depending on how bad you want to get fucked up) and hopefully enjoying them.

And don't use semi-skimmed milk. It'll curdle. Badly.

[donseycat]

Wow, Friday again! And you can really feel spring right around the corner, so we've got something a little exotic.

Oasilk Exotic Fruits

Or would it be Oasisilk? No, that's too much of a tongue twister. The liquid is so much more vibrant than I expected, and it's given the pilk a sort of... yellowy hue? You can tell it isn't normal milk. Also, it smells strongly of passionfruit.

As expected, it has a strong passionfruit and mango taste. Apparently it also contains lemon, which I feared would curdle it, but it seems to be so insubstantial that not only did it not curdle, but I also can't taste it. I also noted that it said "no added sugars", but it does have added sweetners. Is that something that we should get on people about? Maybe. Artificial sweetners leave a taste behind, and I'm definitely picking up a little bit of it. It kinda gives the drink a little bit of a... plastic-y perfuminess.

6/10? The flavour is pretty good, but those sweetners are bringing the whole drink down a lot.

[donseycat]

Happy Friday, everyone! Now, I think it's possibly obvious, but I really like cream soda. Let's see if this one can withstand a pilking.

Cream Soda Pilk

Doesn't have as strong a cream soda smell as the actual pepsi does, but it's still there. Slightly vanilla-y, and seems to be the regular pilk colour of off-white.

That tastes really good. The vanilla flavour is super strong, it's smooth and creamy, and overall is just super good. It also doesn't seem to fall victim to a common problem I have with cream sodas, where it stops tasting of anything after a couple sips.

10/10. Really good, maintains its flavour, definitely would reccomend.

[donseycat]

Woah, is it Friday already?

Lipton Lemon Ice Tilk

It's kinda yellowy? And it smells mildly of lemon.

Ooh, but it tastes pretty good! It's hard for me not to say "it's like the Schwilk" because, well, its creamy and lemony. Nice sweetness, good strong lemon flavour... and I'd say it's a little better than its components alone.

10/10! Really enjoyable drink. The whole can is going like this.

[donseycat]

This Friday, I'm wondering if there's a difference between the pilk I'm about to make, and the original cherry Dr Peppilk I did a year or so back.

Dr. Peppilk Cherry Crush

I hate pouring from those big 2l bottles, so I decanted a little into the clear cup. It smells strongly of cherry, and it's a soft brown colour. Possible good signs?

Very strong cherry flavour - sweet, refreshing, and creamy, though it borders strongly on artificial cherry. I feel that if you drank too much, it wouldn't be as pleasant. Far better than the Dr Pepper that goes into it, though.

6/10. It's nice, but I wouldn't really go outta my way to do this one again.
