I grew up with milk being the main dinnertime beverage, and I still drink it quite a bit. My step-son’s gf clearly did not, and clearly thinks it’s strange, but tries to be polite about it. She’s asked me if milk is my favorite drink, if I feel like milk goes with most food, and a number of related questions. I think in her family, milk is something some people put in coffee.
I’ve had similar childhood experiences with milk, and as an adult I find it goes so well to wash down basically any carb
I don’t see how people physically eat cookies without a glass of milk.
Milk and coffee cake. Incredible. I know it’s for pairing with coffee, but still.
Granted, I usually reach or oat/almond milk these days.
I don’t and likely never will understand people thinking it’s strange.
You’ll get there. It probably makes you farty already and you haven’t just connected the dots. Basically every adult human will develop more and more lactose intolerance as they age.
I grew up in an Asian household, dairy wasn’t really a thing. If I drink a glass of milk I’ll probably shit myself. That goes for most of my family. Having a glass of milk with dinner would be a really bad idea
A glass of milk with lunch or dinner? Yeah, that’s strange AF. Milk is for cereal and to put in my coffee. Nothing else. I use soy milk for both.
I love the stuff, but the entire process and industry of how it comes to be is objectively strange and fucked up.
Do I get to be depraved and evil if I drink plant milk? I haven’t had a glass lately, but that actually sounds refreshing.
No
…only if it comes from plant boobs…
(I think you’re stuck being a good person)
Dated a mixed girl in college about the time “Get out” came out. We saw it in theaters, and on the way out she asked me “what is it with white people eating cereal without milk?” And for some reason both this statement and her’s are both valid. I say this as a white guy who loves both milk, and eating cereal like snack crisps.
During breaks after lunch, my office coworkers all grab small bowls of cereal from the break room and just eat it dry.
I thought it was weird at first but the more I think about it, it shouldn’t be. It’s pretty much sugary snacks.
Honestly, if you can define the cereal you eat as “sugary snack”, get better cereal.
Yes!
Normalize eating cereal without it being made soggy!
_(also check out my kit pics! She’s giving adorable!)
There’s this FBI dude in Poker Face who also drinks milk a lot and at some point he just chugs a cup of half and half at a coffee machine.
The unhinged child soldier rearing knife assassin definitely fucking qualifies.
The lightsaber is not a “knife”.
It cuts and toasts!
That scene and that cute penguin that doesn’t want to be eaten scene felt like some sort of vegan subliminal messaging
‘I can quit blue milk any time I like’ - Stormtrooper Lewis.
Anyone else ever listen to the Stormtrooper Bob audio plays?
They’re re-uploading them! I think I might have the missing episodes somewhere on a hard drive… https://youtube.com/@jeditalk
You never say no to bacta
The Dude buy it just for the White Russian.
Pretty sure in 2025 he would use soy-milk 😁
He’s drinking half and half
When you start drinking in the morning you can’t go all-in
Little of this, little of that
vodka and milk is not a valid recipe for a white russian. idk what the hell the dude thinks he’s drinking but it’s definitely not that.
The Dude is both chill, and poor. Not everyone has coffee liqueur and creamer money. He makes do with what’s around and he’s happy about it.
Coffee liqueur is super easy to make. Cheap vodka, super strong coffee and a vanilla bean. Let it sit for a month. You can add glycerin if you want to increase the viscosity, but not needed for white russians.
Obviously not something the Dude would do, but I might try this.
He uses half & half throughout most of the movie.
is that not milk?
I’ve never seen someone drink half & half the way people drink milk. Like just a straight glass of half & half.
It is used almost exclusively as a substitute for heavy cream in recipes, so my mind considers it cream.
but is it milk or cream? is it like 5%?
50/50. Half cream, half whole milk… But the few times I’ve tasted it on its own, it is much closer to cream imo
I don’t remeber what a White Russian should be made of from my bartender years, but if it was cream, well I stay with the Dude.
At one point you’ve to prioritize your calories.
Kahlua - necessary Vodka - necessary Cream??? > Milk
yeh but he skips the liqueur too
indeed he doesn’t. either there’s sobe other scene i’m thinking of or i’m misremembering
That’s cause you’re young.
When you get to the 50s you can’t use cream, bur you doesn’t stop to like white russian
i think the kahlua is probably the most important thing there… otherwise it just tastes like milk.
And he uses both in the scenes where we see him making the drink.
how am i just noticing that it’s the only thing on his bar
Leon was a bad man that did a good thing, don’t confuse the two.
Were we talking about psychopaths, or bad ppl?
So, you’re telling me heroes drink milk? Ok, I’m onboard.
only one of these could be called a hero.
leon is at BEST a very dark shade of morally gray as a former child soldier who was raised to be a hitman by the mob.
and the dude is just the dude. he just wanted his damn rug back.
deleted by creator
Leon is a hitman, but he’s also probably learning disabled. He rescued a girl from the mob.
The Dude is just a guy who likes bowling, but he’s pretty cool and that’s enough for me.
The Dude Abides.
The opening narration confirms that the Dude is in fact, not a hero (emphasis mine):
[…] I only mention it because sometimes there’s a man… I won’t say a hero, 'cause, what’s a hero? But sometimes, there’s a man. And I’m talkin’ about the Dude here. Sometimes, there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that’s the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he’s a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin’ for laziest worldwide. But sometimes there’s a man, sometimes, there’s a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But… aw, hell. I’ve done introduced him enough.
What movie is top left?
For others who might not know the movies:
- Get Out
- Inglourious Basterds
- No Country For Old Men
- A Clockwork Orange
Get Out
I absolutely will not! (Thanks!)
I drink milk, can confirm, am evil.
Proof! Science has spoken
Clearly Cows have finally infiltrated our media, this is unmistakably a Bovine Psyop Astroturfing Operation.
I for one welcome their utter dominance.
They’re onto us…
You could have written UDDER!
Look, I want you to know that I realize the mistake I made now and I am sorry
I recognize the bottom two, but not the top two.
Top left is Get Out
Haven’t seen it, so that makes sense.
Pretty good, give it a watch
Top right is Inglorious Bastard
Now I recognize it. Thanks!
May I compliment your cows and daughters! This is actually one of the most frightening scenes from any film I’ve seen. Masterful performance.
It is awesome. Also you should watch The Good The Bad And The Ugly. At least it’s opening scene.
All right. I added it to the (literal) list of stuff to watch.
Au revoir, Shoshanna!
Moloko Plus is much more than milk.
I still drink/love/crave milk, but have long-since graduated to half-and-half. Heavy cream in my pure keto phase was arguably crossing the line.
Delicious though
And easily justified on keto. Recipe for disaster.

Are you a baby cow? Then it’s fucking weird to drink the mammary excretions of a cow.
no, it’s not. it’s very common.
Milk bad Cheese good
/s
This but unironically
Drinking cow milk is gross! You even need pasteurize it to get rid of the tony organisms!
But what if we add tiny organisms, again , see not gross anymore
spoiler
BTW I love milk and cheese
Yeah everybody hates Tony.
I love the non-threatening rebranding the dairy industry placed upon it, instead of calling it what it is…tit juice.
Pretty sure the word milk predates “brands” and “industry” by a few thousand years.
