I feel I am required by ethnicity to mention that Adidas is producing a Yellow Series of sneaker. Please note the graphic on the tongue. A bit of an odd approach for a company to take, no? If further shoe series include a "little Black Sambo" model and a "red-nosed drunken Irish" model then things are hunky-dory. Otherwise I may be a bit put-off.
The acceptable approach in life, afterall, is "You can't please everyone but you can piss everyone off". And that can be amusing. Anyways Adidas tend to aggravate my achilles.
In other major news! The Battle of Westernized Soy Milk
So which is it gonna be? Silk or 8th Continent? Both have their pros and cons. For instance, Silk's vanilla flavor is subtle but it has that ultra-thick weirdness to it. Like those low-fat milks made to resemble the consistency of whole milk and which fail miserably. 8th Continent's vanilla flavor on the other hand is a little overpowering and it's much more runny. Almost resembling rice milk. Plus it comes in the new 'much more difficult to grasp' bottle shape! Both have been tested on flaky cereals and both passed. However, since rice milk is just one step away from horchata! I give the nod to 8th Continent.

I assume that the guy who designed the graphic meant it as some sort of irony - like Randy Newman's song Short People. But it's too easy to take it as straightforward racism.
Soy milk vs rice milk - the only time I tried the latter, I thought it tasted exactly the same as the former. Is that normal?
That's an odd sort of marketing.
On the soy milk: no, no, no, only Silk will do!
Hummm...not to sure about those shoes,but whatever.
And the soy milk freaks me out, I mean I am just a little scared to try it but thats just me!
I lurv me some Rice Dream non-dairy frozen deserts, especially the Celestial Seasonings brand (Vanilla Hazelnut Fudge ... yumminess!) but not so much the Soy Dream. This is my only contribution to the topic, however off-topic :) ... and now for something completely different ...
wow on the sneakers. Someone really doesn't like non-caucasions I see
They'll be making a British one soon. Red and white. When you press the tongue it shouts "INgggerrrLLAaaaand, Ingerlaaaand, Ingerlllaaannddd"

Hm. I like the Silk, particularly the enhanced version (as well as the vanilla) though I haven't had 8th Continent. Must give that a whirl. Regarding soy yogurt, however, Stonyfield wins over Silk. Silk soy yogurt has a funny flavor, I think.
Racist or not, the shoes are ugly. To me all soy milk tastes the same, so I won't be much of a help there.
I agree. If the shoe had a fat-lipped smiling black head on it with a big slice of watermelon, they never would've made the shoe.
Holy-moly that's racist. Thanks for giving me the heads up on this bit of "boycott bait". I wonder what they put on Air Jordan's?
As for Silk v. 8th Contiunent, I can say I've tried pretty much all the non-dairy milk substitutes and the only one I can stand is Silk. While 8th Continents consistency is better (a Silk mustache is unbearable) the flavor just puts me off. But, the fact that they make both shows it's all a matter of taste.
