From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Silk is a brand of soy milk introduced in 1996. It is distributed by White Wave Foods, which is a subsidiary of Dean Foods, the distributor of most milk in the United States. The name "Silk" is a portmanteau of the words soy and milk. Silk soy milk comes in many flavors including original, vanilla, chocolate, and unsweetened.
