    Meanwhile, hard liquor and alcohol are supposed to mean that you are normal and the good guy.

    Leon The Professional drank milk and he was good from what I recall, minus the whole being a hired killer…

    I’ve always thought the trope was based on the idea of stunted development. Kids are heavily encouraged to drink milk, so films making a point of adults drinking it are indicating that there’s some part of growing up that they’ve missed.

      It’s also not made for adults, it’s literally baby food for mamals.
      While some parts of the world have been drinking it out of necessity to survive (in colder climate) most of the world haven’t developed a lactose tolerancy.
      Adult milk drinkers are indeed freaks.

    Are you a baby cow? Then it’s fucking weird to drink the mammary excretions of a cow.

    I love the non-threatening rebranding the dairy industry placed upon it, instead of calling it what it is…tit juice.
