    It’s the same for “milk”, in Germany all the products like soy or oat milk have weird names like “Soy drink” now. Animal abuse lobbyists say otherwise consumers can get confused.

      Except for Scheuermilch (scouring cream, literally: scouring milk). That one we can keep. Probably because it has the same nutritional values as cow milk or something… The argument never made any sense whatsoever.

      In Poland because of that some sellers sell coconut milk as ‘coconut drink’. Which makes no sense.

      My favorite are the "No Milk" ones from Lidl. It’s just weirdly funny to me. Taste great and very close to cow milk too. There's also the more expensive Not Milk. Tasted worse and much more like oat for me.

        That should actually be illegal. What a shitty thing.

            Yeah, no problem at all, just advertise something as X and add a “no”, perfectly acceptable practice. Glad that is not legal where I live.
