No. In fact, I hope the manufacturers store it in testicle-shaped bottles.
I only drink golden showers brand

I love drinking pea
Try showering in it. The experience is golden.
I tried pea milk for the first time a couple of weeks back, albeit it was chocolate flavored. It was pretty good and is a good alternative to water-hungry almond milk.
pea milk is the only cow milk alternative i am willing to drink. all the other immitations are unbearable..oat, almond etc... yuck
For cereal and similar breakfast applications, I quite like oat milk. It does have a strong oat flavor though.
It's great if you can handle its pea-ness.
My kids love drinking pea.

Does it have qualities that would make it useful replacement in cooking and baking, or is it a drink alternative? The archive link isn't working for me, so sorry if this is in the article. I'm really curious.
Or the real question, does it make cheese?
Pea cheese, just what I need
Nut cheese and pea cheese - appetizing!
Yeah if people want this to catch on you can't call it pea milk.
Peas are a type of pulse. So let's call it pulse milk that sounds a lot more appetizing :>
Peas are just seeds, so call it seed milk.
Oat milk is pretty good. I recently switched over to it from soy milk and it's high in calcium and all the other nutrients. Very creamy.
Edit: damn that's batshit crazy, I should give pea milk a try.
Here's the comparison table of the nutrients in the article

The colour of it makes me feel a bit noxious. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten that candy snake I found in my jacket pocket just before jumping into bed.
Do you mean nauseous?
Yes. I was relying on autocorrect to help me out and after not finding the correct spelling after half a dozen attempts I gave up in favour of whatever that word I used is. I am on my side, half asleep.
Do you mean nauseated?
No
This is one of those things that everyone understands. Like "nauseous" may not be accepted as English by some upper class conservatives in charge of writing dictionaries, but to the rest of us it's understood and frequently used.
A language is a tool to communicate, not a bunch of rules.
It's this same grammar nazi logic that leads to dialects spoken by middle class and rich white people to be the "correct" one while those spoken by black people and lower class white people are seen as "incorrect".
I think everyone understood that the original commenter meant nauseous/nauseated instead of noxious. The corrector was being an annoying pedant, so I was pointing that out by correcting their “incorrect” word.

Well of course. Peas are a lot smaller than cows and will eat and fart a lot less.
Hell yeah, give peas a chance!
we don't have data for its water usage though?
You aren't going to pea in my milk!
pea juice*
peas do not have nipples.
I have nipples. How do I get milk out of them?
hormones?
You've just got to drink a lot and then suck really really hard
Manual stimulation 3x a day for a few months
Now I'm thinking about other options. Tomato milk. Grape milk. Orange milk. Lemon milk.
Gonna have to start calling stuff "peanut spread" and "hot assorted meat trimmings"
Also, we've been using the word milk to include plant milk since the year 1200

I've had pea milk, doesn't seem too rare in the UK. It was nice enough, maybe slightly watery compared to oat (my go to) but that could just have been the brand.
The comparisions are interesting, but also kind of demonstrate the futility of debating between plant based milks. There's a clear worst candidate here, and it isn't plant based. If your thinking of switching, choose your favourite, soy might be the second worst but it's significantly less than half the emmisions of cow milk.

When does solunt green start?
Oh, that was a promotional flavor a few years back.
Whoa I haven't seen chewable Soylent. I wanna try one of those. See if it actually fills my stomach unlike the drinks. Couldn't actually use the drinks as a meal replacement, since it did nothing to not make me feel hungry.
The bars are mid and overpriced, not bad but notably less filling than the drinks.
Soylent green was pretty cool, though. It was Spirulina flavored.
