Twitter calls this ingredient the new best way to enjoy a refreshing glass of co*ke. The jury's still out.
Twitter is the Internet’s home for all sorts of twisted trends, starting with consuming toxic Tide Pods(which we shouldn’t even have to say is a terrible idea) and ending with—well, this. The latest edible experiment to grace your timeline is the cause of sitewide debate. Similar to pepsi with milk, co*ke with milk—yes, milk—is taking over the internet.
Are you brave enough to give it a try?
How Did This Happen?
We have comedy writer James Felton to thank for introducing milk and co*ke, appropriately dubbed Milk co*ke, to the Internet. “Milk co*ke is a real thing,” says Felton, posing proudly with this creamy concoction.

Since the tweet went live, Twitter has lost its mind, full-on warring over whether the combination is a dream or a disaster. (We can’t blame them, since we’re sort of warring with ourselves about it.) Some people are loving the idea of Milk co*ke, comparing it to a co*ke float.

What do you pour first? The milk or the co*ke? pic.twitter.com/SxjbV7blwO

While there are supporters, others are understandably repulsed by the concept. Mixing soda and ice cream is old news, but there’s something a little bit weird (but oddly intriguing) about this newer combo. What makes it so different from a standard co*ke or root beer float? We honestly don’t know.

Both sides represent pretty grounded arguments, which has left the Internet in turmoil. Felton, the inventor of Milk co*ke, has caught plenty of flack and publicity thanks to his creation. Several news outlets have called Felton out, claiming Milk co*ke is just a joke intended to befunny, but Felton is adamant that this is a real thing he actually enjoys.
We’re not sure if we’ll be adding this ingredient to a perfectly good co*ke, but we’re not totally opposed to at least giving it a try. Who knows? This could open doors for all kinds of cola concoctions. Sounds like it’s time for an official Taste of Home taste test!
