Default Many think chocolate milk comes from brown cows

Unfortunately, this message does not appear to be sinking in with the American public, as a survey commissioned by the Center has found that a whopping 7 percent of Americans still think that chocolate milk comes directly out of a brown cow.
So how many of you have thought that it was made by brown cows
?

They're not brown cows they're chocolate cows. Yes I do sometimes drink straight from the milk carton and I love melted bleu cheese on my grilled ground chuck cow.

I saw this news item and had to laugh markus. Only 7% of people questioned thought that chocolate milk came from brown cows but that's 7% too many.

I remember when Jessica Simpson thought that " Chicken of the Sea " tuna was really chickens that lived in the sea.

Relax here in the UK many years ago people did not think meat came from farm animals.

I had a little smile on my face when I read the article-It also made me remember a meeting with a friends cousin.

He mocked me when he learned that I almost was from deep inside the farmland.

Said to him, so you laugh at me and other farmers. Tell me, where do you get your meat from?
My friends cousin said-Haha, from the butcher
And where do you get your milk from ?
From my local store.

I'm not kidding you that is what he said

If chocolate milk comes from brown cows, where does Strawberry milk come from? Red cows?

Chocolate milk, of course, comes from cows. It comes from the rear teats the ones that are nearest to the cow's rectum.

White milk comes from the front teats.

It's a known fact that chocolate comes from purple cows, at least if you're living in Germany.

I had the experience of working with this young lady who truly did not understand where food came from. Food comes, naturally packaged, in a grocery store. She truly did not get that she was eating a dead processed animal. Yikes!

Me, being the jerk that I am, took great glee in informing her where her lunches came from. Once, she though she was safe when she was eating Jello....

Last week, I had a hamburger at McDonalds, and even in 2017, I am not sure what I ate had anything to do with a cow.

When reading your response I should have mentioned that he was above 20 years of age my friends cousin. He lived in Copenhagen the Capital of Denmark.
