On Saturday, viewers of Love Island Unseen Bit were treated to an interesting conversation about oat milk, and Ron Hall's major milk blunder left them baffled. To help clarify the situation, Oatly has now responded to the discussion.
The dairy alternative milk company have addressed the Love Island scene where Lana Jankins explained to Ron that oat milk does not come from the same place as dairy milk. Oatly said: “We saw there was a bit of confusion in the Love Island villa around the difference between oat drinks and cow’s milk. We wanted to set the record straight before this gets to Casa Amor.
"After 25 years of making the stuff, we can categorically confirm that oat drinks come from oats, not from cows. And oats cannot be milked. Trust us, we’ve tried."

In the episode, the financial advisor was seen having a chat with make-up artist Lana in which she revealed that an Espresso Martini is her favourite cocktail. But Ron, 25, didn't appear impressed as he claimed not to like coffee - despite holding onto an iced version of the caffeinated drink.
"Are you joking?" Lana laughed. "You've literally got a coffee right now!" to which Ron replied: "I say I don't drink coffee but I don't really count it because it's an iced coffee – I feel like a bit of a kid," he replies, holding his iced-latte. "Taste it, it's actually s**t."
"What milk is it?" Lana then aksed as he hands over his portable flask. "Low-fat," Ron replied. Handing the cup back to him, Lana explained: "I don't drink milk." But Ron replied: "You have milk in your coffee. I made you one this morning!" Appearing concerned, Lana asled: "Did you make me one with normal milk?"
Ron replied: "No, it was oat milk." And as Lana smiled a confused Ron said: "That's normal milk?" to which his former partner replied: "No, it's oat milk! I don't drink normal milk."
"Well, you know it's got the word milk in it," he laughed before adding: "You know it's a milk, right?" But Lana said: "Are you joking?" to which he replied: "Otherwise they'd just call it 'oat cream' or 'oat liquid'. Not oat milk!" Lana asked: "Do you know normal milk comes from a cow?" as Ron said: "Yeah obviously!"
"So, where does oat milk come from?" she quizzed as he admitted defeat and replied: "I'm not even going to bother," before laughing the conversation off. But Lana didn't drop and Ron eventually said: "But they're still called milk."
