My DUH! moment of the day...

[pfloyd]

I have in my hands a bottled chocolate milkshake. In fact, right below the brand name is the legend, "Milk Shake."

I just happened to glance at the ingredient warning section on the bottle.
I kid you not, it reads:

CONTAINS: Milk.


For one, I certainly hope so. Else I would sue the company under false advertising.
Second... it says "Milk Shake" right on the front of the bottle. Would it not be safe to assume that there would be a least one iota of milky essence in there? Especially when the first item on the list of ingredients says rather plainly, "Milk"? When was the last time you opened up a bottle of Nestle Quik, and was surprised that it was not made from, say, fish? "What's that there? Cod flavored Quik? Yum!"

This ranks right up there with the opening instructions you now find on your everyday Hershey and Kit Kat bars. Good gods above and below, have we, as a society, become such complete and utter doorknobs that even our lizard brains can't fathom that there just might be milk in a product labelled "Milkshake?"



Here endeth the snarkiness...
