I agree. I really like soy milk and was always so confused by the hype for new alternatives—not confused that people might like something else, mind you, just confused at the overall hype, to the extent that people forget soy exists and is better at many of the things the newer alternatives lack. Protein content and water usage being chief among them.

Soy milk has a more distinct flavor imo - not as sweet either

Also soy is spooooooky~

You can buy various flavors, though? Just like any other types of alt milks, there's kinds that are sweetened and made to taste like vanilla, or kind that's just sweetened, or chocolate soy, or unsweetened

Oh yeah, I always get unflavored tho because I use it for making pea protein shakes for my Huge Factory Labor Muscles

Sorry that's false. Less protein than cows milk.

It should be abundantly clear that the comparison was with oat milk...

I find that soy milk tastes thinner and more watery than oat milk.

What funny soy milk are you drinking? It tastes distinct, for sure, rather than being sweetish like oat or almond milk. But in terms of viscosity soy milk has them beat.

I don't know, whatever soy milk Costco sells in Canada.
