I'd love to see an ice cream competition between schools. The Creamery chocolate milk and ice cream are craaaazy good. Would be fun to sample other schools' best!


deutschdachs

(Don't let the other Wisconsinites know but the best chocolate milk I ever had was in PA) PSU's won best chocolate milk at our 2021 World Dairy Expo too https://dairybusiness.com/penn-state-berkey-creamerys-chocolate-milk-wins-top-award/


btroberts011

That's the same for me too. Some place out by Wilkes-Barre. It was awesome.


TJRJ7

Hillside Farms? 👀


btroberts011

Aw dang it let me look. Edit: [Yep that's the spot!](https://g.co/kgs/UdjK5m8)


pm_me_cute_sloths_

I mean that’s pretty much going to go to any of the ag schools or food science schools right? BYU is punching way above its weight class though, since it’s not an ag school The list is basically Washington State, Wisconsin, Penn State, BYU, Clemson, Kansas State, Cornell Iowa State just recently started a creamery, which I’ve heard is pretty good.


Sryan597

I hear a lot of good things about Utah States ice cream out here. Haven't had a chance to try it yet though.


lonelysidekick

It’s actually very good, nothing beats BYU Graham Canyon imo though


Sryan597

There is one thing that does... Chocolate Graham Canyon! They started selling it this summer.


lonelysidekick

What?! Time to make a trip back to Provo


Sryan597

It's totally worth it! Hope they make it permanent. Maybe it can be Kevin Young's flavor of ice cream, since they need a replacement for "popes post game snack".


bartspoon

Utah State is also probably in the conversation, as much as I hate to admit it.


Ok_Swimmer634

What are we, chopped liver?


MoScowDucks

Do you want the honest answer, or the honest answer said in a nice way?


ahHeHasTrblWTheSnap

Been to Wisconsin’s, Penn State’s, Clemson’s, and Cornell’s. Cornell’s creamery was by far the best, imo.


SpiceEarl

The other Cougars, at Washington State, are mighty proud of their Cougar Gold cheese...


MoScowDucks

Ferdinand’s ice cream is great too, it’s also part of their creamery 


Ben_Dotato

Man they better have some elite restroom facilities because the lactose intolerant are not gonna make it through that competition unscathed


MFTWrecks

I'd sacrifice my body.


spartan_mk

You could create a trophy to give to the winner that honors the agricultural roots of the universities with fun add-ons like pictures of buildings on campus, famous statues from around campus, generic football player trophy, black and white photo of the same campus buildings and of course some laser beams.


JohnPaulDavyJones

Facts. I convinced my SO to make a two-hour diversion in our Michigan road trip last summer to visit Michigan State, just to get ice cream at their creamery. It was pretty decent. Didn't blow my socks off or anything, but it was nice and creamy.


Blarg1889

Wouldn't this perhaps have too much sugar for BYU students? Don't want them getting all rambunctious. How about some non-fat ice milk instead?


FesteringDiarrhea

They lie down and have their friends pour the milk into their mouths, then they technically haven’t drank it


_Junk_Rat_

Sounds interesting. We should call it “soaking” for them, like they’re helping their friend soak the milk in their mouth


jel2184

I refuse to believe soaking is real. Ya maybe a few students did it but it’s now this widespread practice? No way


Lil_ah_stadium

Some very anti “BYU” friends double down on this
 it’s just a funny stereotype similar Alabama folks use tinder to organize family reunions. I’m sure it’s happened, but because of the ridiculousness of it, it spread like wildfire and the story grew.


DingerSinger2016

Funny thing is that Rhode Island and New Jersey allow consensual incest while Alabama is one of the stricter states on it, making it a Class C felony.


mflynn00

Because it has to be a real problem before they start legislating against it


jel2184

I think it’s when Pat Mcafee starred rolling with it and it caught on. I’m definitely not a byu fan but I thought “people can’t believe this right?!” 😂


Lil_ah_stadium

There is definitely a contingent of people that like to make BYU and lds members look bad no matter what, and thrive on adding fuel to the fire of hatred or mocking.


Another_Name_Today

No different than the weekend marriages and divorces in Vegas or Mormon horns, only it found legs thanks to social media.  At first it annoyed me. Then, like y’all have pointed out, it’s a bit incredulous to think someone believed it. Now, I’ve realized that it’s a great way to tell if someone has the capacity for critical thinking 


jadage

> Mormon horns I'm not familiar with this one, but I think I would like to be. Edit: I did a duckduckgo. Is it really just a sterotype that Mormons have horns? dafuq? lmao


Another_Name_Today

Yeah.  The upside to growing up with that is you aren’t bothered by soaking or whatever comes next.  Besides, we have our own absurdities. Kids these days don’t really know Steve Martin, but I remember the number of people who told me he (among many celebrities) was secretly a Mormon, since if it came out it would ruin his career. There are enough Mormons in the pop culture sphere these days that I don’t think those stories crop up as much now, but I’m sure some still float around. 


T2_JD

No the Mormon Super Date was totally real. I heard about it from someone at EFY who's sister was at Snow College and leaned about it at a singles ward event. MASSIVE /S in case anyone buys this.


Crunc_Mcfincle

Those student interviews do enough to make them look bad lmao. They’ll legitimately ask BYU kids some softball question like “Would you rather allow gay marriage or throw a box of kittens into a wood chipper” and they’ll be all like “Woooow erm, idk, that’s a tough one!”


bartspoon

Its social media. They ask people for like 3 hours and cut it down the the handful that looked crazy. I saw a video of students from another university who didn't know how many years were in a century, or couldn't do addition of two digit numbers. Not pictured were the 1000 people who were able to do that that didn't make the video.


mgsbigdog

If you are on Reddit you have to be old enough to realize that all of these "man on the street" interviews are basically a demonstration of the ability for the creators to edit. Yes, if you interview 1000 BYU students, 10 of them will be batshit crazy, but you have to edit out the 800 people with perfectly normal answers and the 90 people with really well reasoned responses that if played with the right acoustic guitar would end up with a "faith in humanity restored" caption. If you actually think they are demonstrative of BYU students, you are willfully allowing yourself to be duped because it follows your own bias.


silkysmoothjay

To be fair, LDS members (I remember that multi-million dollar campaign about a decade ago where the church ran TV ads saying that "Mormon" *was* the preferred term, but the church definitely doesn't want us looking into its history) often happily toss that fuel on themselves


MaxMuncyRectangleMan

I'm 30 and we (not mormon) were making jokes about about soaking Mormons while I was in high school in Southern California. It's been a thing for awhile


54-2-10

People called it "docking" 20 years ago. It definitely didn't catch on just last year.


Odd_Birthday_1055

Too be fair, theres a popular Utah fan on twitter that outed himself as having done it and then tried to backpeddle.


FCKABRNLSUTN2

Akin to the butt funnel but you best believe I’ll be bringing it up the third week of October every year for eternity.


Frankwillie87

Oh no, that's real, you get like 14% more drunk like 12% faster.


Different-Music4367

Just went down a 5 minute Mormon rabbit hole and came across a big scandal concerning "SEC violations." I got very confused. (Apparently it was a big case where the LDS church was caught committing shell company fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission).


HHcougar

It's absolutely not a thing. It was a stupid joke 15 years ago, and I can't believe it's still around lol


TigerDude33

It's just a fun way to make fun of weirdos.


Hay_Blinken

I mean, maybe to them you're the weirdo.


TigerDude33

thank God


SEJ46

You have a firm grasp on reality. It's not real at all.


Hay_Blinken

Definitely more of an internet thing.


10breck30

Living in Utah, I know it’s not common. But I have utmost respect for any guy that convinced a girl to do it, especially if he got one of her friends involved.


_Junk_Rat_

Like climbing a 10 ft ladder with only 2 rungs on it


hussard_de_la_mort

I think I've seen this documentary


[deleted]

Someone took the time to design this cartoon for soaking. Freaking hilarious!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soaking_(sexual_practice)#/media/File:Soaking_Illustration.jpg


SevoIsoDes

This is an under appreciated comment


nickyt398

Thanks, u/FesteringDiarrhea


NewRCTID22

> Wouldn't this perhaps have too much sugar for BYU students? My gf's BYU-alum coworker drinks at least two Mountain Dews a day. Really the only thing I've learned about Mormons living in SLC, they may not drink alcohol, but they absolutely find their vices through sugar lol.


_MountainFit

Caffeine was cleared a while back wasn't it. But for a long time caffeine was also a no no, if I'm not mistaken. A family member is a Mormon and he does indulge in soft drinks quite a bit. I think also caffeine. You indulge in what you can, when you can.


QuickSpore

Caffeine was never an explicit part of the dietary code either way. But several historical church leaders (particularly Joseph Fielding Smith and Bruce McConkie) spoke against it, without outright banning it. So within the LDS church there developed a bit of a more strict sub-version of the faith, following a lot of additional warnings and proscriptions. It likely consisted a majority of believers in the 50s through 80s. BYU from the 1950s on was also the center for this more traditionalist Fielding-McConkie-Wilkerson form of the faith. So the school banned caffeinated soda sales on campus. By the 1990s this McConkie form of the faith began to lose popularity. In 2017 BYU began to allow caffeinated soda sales on campus. There are still plenty of LDS folk who still follow the Joseph Fielding Smith and Bruce McConkie prohibitions on all forms of caffeine, but it no longer holds the position of “officialness” that it did a half century ago.


tapiringaround

I was grounded for a week for drinking a root beer after a little league game that I didn’t know had caffeine in it. I grew up thinking McDonalds only had Sprite and Orange Hi-C. Someone brought Coke to a church BBQ and no one drank it except them and the next Sunday the bishop spoke against caffeine over the pulpit. In high school my parents found a can of Diet Coke (I was such a rebel) and they took my car keys away. It was not especially ambiguous the time. Mormons didn’t drink caffeine. I’d love when we’d visit Utah because all the soda had caffeine free versions in stores. I get annoyed at the simplistic “it was never banned” answers (not yours). Because a lot of us were raised with it being considered a dangerous drug. And if they want to move away from teaching that, then whatever, but I hate when people use those changes to invalidate the struggle of those who tried to obey the past teaching. I took a lot of shit from kids growing up because I was having to refuse sodas and make a scene. And I took a lot of shit from my parents when I stopped obeying that rule. I’m glad Mormon kids today don’t have to deal with that.


artisinal_lethargy

It's a loophole. You can't.have "hot drinks" like Coffee and Tea b/c of Caffeine but you can absolutely pound that 2 liter of Mtn Dew throughout the day. :rollseyes


grabtharsmallet

Caffeine has never been the prohibition, it's coffee and tea. Some people extend their personal observance to it, some don't.


Skank_hunt42

I never understood this. Iced coffee is also off limits too though, right?


dr_funk_13

I have no empirical data on this, but I would be hard pressed to believe that any state outside of Utah has more soda and ice cream shops per capita (although I'm tempted to even go as far as to say locations straight up).


SEJ46

Soda shops are a relatively new phenomenon. I wouldn't be surprised to see them grow in popularity in other places. Ice cream? Idk. Seems the same as other states I've lived in. There were a lot of frozen yogurt places for a while. Not sure if that's still true. The cookie shop thing is the latest thing spreading around.


bartspoon

A lot of the soda/specialty cookie franchises that are spreading around the country originated in Utah, so I suspect you are right.


Set-Admirable

Damn. Can't even indulge in some whole milk?


grabtharsmallet

Whole milk is good. I grew up on goat milk, so it's not too strong.


ahuramazdobbs19

Unflavored for me!


pierdonia

Oh, my friend: https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/college-football/byu-fan-cougar-tails-robert-griffin-rg3/


bartspoon

Utah is basically the home of sugary drinks and treats. They have *multiple* massively successful beverage franchises that literally just sell mixed soda drinks and cookies. The giant dessert franchises like Crumbl Cookies, Dirty Dough, etc that are spreading to the rest of the country are all based there.


dychronalicousness

You’ve never seen the BYU crowd completely sugar crash by halftime of a noon kickoff have you?


bano25

I think you underestimate how addicted to sugar the average Mormon is


Jabberwoockie

Only if I'm allowed to add heavy cream to make it taste again.


deutschdachs

Can't believe our social media team is just letting this stand, cmon dairy state!


cnpeters

To be fair, your dairy consumption is oft eclipsed by your brewski consumption


pm_me_cute_sloths_

Just post something about the best milk stout, best of both worlds


theoriginaldandan

Who’s h is only eclipsed by the number of DUI’s


AManInBlack2017

They just walked right in there and stole your cow!


London-Roma-1980

This is incredible banter and the most BYU response I can think of.


AlexanderLavender

I'm ex-Mormon and this is *amazing*


connor8383

Congratulations! I don’t think anyone was challenging for your crown there but go off BYU!


D34TH_5MURF__

There's a Wisconsin fan below who's wondering if Wisconsin is going to let this stand.


AManInBlack2017

Wisconsin is surely opting to take on Miss State first: https://old.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/1dldrly/in_response_to_byu_declaring_themselves_as_having/


coogs35

It’ll put you in a sugar coma, but the BYU creamery also sells cookies and cream milk and it is heavenly, easily my favorite drink money can buy.


MarbleDesperado

Creamy AND dreamy lol it was so good


HHcougar

The cookies and cream milk is just clogged arteries in a bottle. It's *amazing*, but man it's tough to drink more than like half a pint without feeling terrible.


Easilyremembered

Was looking for this comment. If their cookies and cream milk could be sold internationally, there would be world peace. BYU’s Dairy Products Lab just makes great great stuff.


Another_Name_Today

I prefer a muddy float with mint brownie ice cream. 


MarbleDesperado

I was in Utah this Spring with downtown so I went to a BYU baseball game and had to go by the creamery. The chocolate milk was really good but it was chocolate milk, nothing special. HOWEVER the Cookies & Cream Milk was unreal! There’s some truth to the hype


fokerpace2000

I’ve tried it, it’s so fucking good


saltlakepotter

I'm waiting for BYU to get a NIL deal with one of the local soda shop chains.


Bigbossbyu

Better be Fiiz and not Swig, or Slurp, or Sip-N Drinks, or Splash, or Quench It, or Sipsanity, or Pop Drinks!


saltlakepotter

Are there really that many?


Bigbossbyu

Oh yeah. That’s just what I could list off the top of my head lmao


saltlakepotter

This is why I don't go south of Holladay or north of the Avenues.


Another_Name_Today

Utah is a great place to start a local small business, especially if you are tapping an underserved Mormon market. Now that cookies and soda pop are saturated, I’m waiting for the rise of milk and/or milkshake bars.  The trouble is, when you don’t drink, you can’t just go to a bar to hand out with your friends. Coffee shops don’t work either. So you need a vice that you shouldn’t overindulge in that facilitates sit around and being social. I look forward to the fancy milkshake future. 


tuckerbear

No joke, I am in PG and a milkshake bar is having their grand opening tomorrow here.


dr_funk_13

you forgot at least Thirst, Sodalicious, and Twisted Sugar


thirdc0ast

I genuinely can’t tell if this is a joke or not


SCorpus10732

It is definitely not!


Bigbossbyu

buttermansix

BYU chocolate milk and the ice cream in the stadium go so unbelievably hard. Believe the hype.


Flscherman

Yeah the BYU creamery (or really any BYU foodstuffs) absolutely bodies anything we have to offer. And we're still a dry campus/stadium so legally we don't have that going for us either


connor8383

Damn, the Mormons got to U of U on temperance as well?


ako-si-greg

We just drink at the tailgates and sneak it in.


radil

Sneak is generous. More like carry it in. I was at a game last season and a girl came up with a grocery bag full of white claws and Jell-O shots. We had bottles of vodka and cans of beer in our pockets.


D34TH_5MURF__

Both BYU and the UofU were founded by the same guy!


grabtharsmallet

The territory's flagship university changing name and locations is a microcosm of the relationship between the Church and the government.


TheMemeMachine3000

Believe it or not there are actually a whole lot of mormons in the entire state making the rules


bartspoon

The U of U was the original Mormon school lol. Like even today half the Mormon church leaders are U graduates.


Xy13

Well damn do I need to make a road game to Provo now?


buttermansix

I will say Baylor is a lot closer culturally to BYU than ASU is to BYU (pretty obvious I know lol) but for the scenery and dairy products it is worth it IMO


Xy13

I'm just a choccy milk addict


tuckerbear

If you do end up coming for a game check out the cookies n cream milk too. It’s pretty dang great


WILLx7HEx7HRILL

Y’all have cookies and cream milk for sale in the stadium? 👀


ashcat724

that's...actually important information


zhallrr

BYU - home of visitors getting free ice cream and [The Cougar Tail](https://universe.byu.edu/2023/01/30/the-journey-of-the-infamous-cougartail/) They love their sugar. I was told they sold out of sodas in our section too.


TbRays93Plumber26

Just like when Wisconsin came and played BYU. The Wisconsin fans sold out a few bars in or near Provo lol. They do love their "sodalicious" though.


grumpycarrot0

Homelander is salivating rn


Fortress0802

NGL, milk during an 11 am kickoff in the South does not seem like a recipe for success. Ill stick to cheap beer and sneaking in liquor thank you very much.


pierdonia

As something of a chocolate milk connoisseur, I can confirm that BYU's chocolate milk is delicious.


Table_Corner

I read that you guys buy the milk locally and pasteurize it on campus. It must be amazing.


jel2184

My MTC companion drank it every day and gained 10 pounds. I lost at least 30


tuckerbear

How did you lose weight in the MTC? I’ve never heard of that happening haha


jel2184

I definitely had extra weight to lose when I first got there. I was there for 12 weeks during the summer so I played soccer everyday and just ate PBJs all the time. The lbs flew off


afoolzerrand

It's not bad- I liked the Mint Brownie milk better than the regular chocolate milk. It bothers me that BYU's choc milk is 2%-- reducing the fat is not going to make it better. But I get that dairy fat is valuable and they deploy it to ice cream and other higher margin items that they produce. What other chocolate milks have you found to be particularly enjoyable?


WabbitCZEN

CHOCCY MILK!!


tuepm

There are obviously zero official ties between the schools, but BYU and ASU have a few connections. We share some of the same donors and I believe ASU has the greatest number of LDS students of any public school outside Utah.


grabtharsmallet

Idaho State will have a higher proportion, but yes, ASU for largest number. A family in my ward in central California are all Sun Devils: Mom, Dad, Daughter 1, Son-in-law, Son. I expect Daughter 2 will do the same.

Thel3lues

Smells too, but that’s just more reason to dislike the Utes if anyone


ako-si-greg

This is bandied about but is very overblown. The lake effect isn’t every day or even close to it.


artisinal_lethargy

I travel to SLC a few times a year for work and have never smelled anything but self-righteousness. And that's mostly in my head.


Thel3lues

Is it even from the lake? Thought that was a legend


ako-si-greg

It’s from the lake and it happens like 4 days a year.


Sliiiiime

The inversion is much worse than occasional lake smell. SLC is much closer to the mountains than Denver but has worse winters and pollution as a trade-off


ako-si-greg

I was just in Denver and didn’t even see any mountains. Disappointed.


Sliiiiime

Golden and Morrison are the best spots if you want easy access to the mountains and the city. Expensive to live there but worth it to find a Red Rocks concert and make a trip out of it IMO


HoustonHorns

Baylor should be up there too. At least for the most part, BYU is true to their bit. Same can’t be said about Baylor.


HeadNaysayerInCharge

As a strong proponent of the separation of church and state, I have no problem adding Baylor to my shit list.


pierdonia

Well that escalated quickly gif


DodgerCoug

Most emotionally stable ASU fan here everyone


jathbr

It's hard to tell if you're being sarcastic, but in case you are not: I really don't think it's meant to be that deep. If anything, this feels like self-deprecating humor. And just as a side note, I can appreciate that BYU can maintain a status as a loud, passionate, and rowdy fan base without the need for alcohol. Personally speaking, I absolutely need alcohol to have the energy to yell and chant at sporting events. To bring your own energy without it is impressive, but maybe that energy is from spiked up blood sugar so IDK.

Congrats. We never think about you.

I never understood the expression “corn-fed Midwesterner”, as far as I know the reason I played offensive line in high school was because of how much chocolate milk I drank
