Happy Anniversary To 'Bing Chilling', One Of John Cena's Most Iconic Memes
The FDA ordered a recall today for Oatly oat milk and other beverages over microbial contamination. Reportedly, a range of products from the Lyons Magnus beverage line including Oatly, Stumptown Cold Brew, Premier Protein and a variety of other alternative milks may be contaminated with Cronobacter sakazakii, which can make people very sick and even kill them.
Aside from Oatly, the recalled brands include Lyons, Pirq, Glucerna, Aloha, Intelligentsia, Kate Farms, Premier Protein, MRE, Stumptown and Imperial.https://t.co/nexjOgLidD

The recall will likely devastate the alternative milk selection at many coffee shops and home pantries alike as the contamination is reportedly widespread.

Fans of alternative milks posted about the recall on various social media platforms, including Twitter. Most worried about specific social groups associated with alternative milks, mostly in jest.

Many posters expressed their pre-existing dislike of Oatly for its use of seed oils, allegedly bad oats and lack of profitability.
Oatly makes industrial sludge with harmful seed oils in a factory and loses money doing it. https://t.co/YJbZ3IPJM2 pic.twitter.com/57zTb0RTV2

The fact that Oatly is still in business is proof that the free market has been taken hold of by idiots who hate you.

Despite the various memes and worried reactions, some also suspected there might be a silver lining.
