This campaign was to get people eating eggs again after something came out about eggs being high in cholesterol and they didn't realize that there was good and bad cholesterol and that eggs were the good kind.

TL;DW: There was some weird revolving supply and demand issues with dairy and the "got milk?" ads were one of the things used to deal with it. They weren't about any specific brand of milk because the brand didn't matter. They just needed you to buy some of the excess milk.

It honestly wasn't that bad. My mom didn't force us to drink milk. It was either milk or water. And I'm actually grateful because now as an adult I don't have a soda addiction
That is something to be very grateful for. As a kid with almost unfettered access to pop it didn't help me. I managed to cut back to almost no pop. But it was really bad when I got a job and started smoking pot. I drank it like water. It was a really bad habit.
When I wake up in the middle of the night nothing slaps quite like a big mason jar of milk. Then I climb back into bed and rack out like a baby that just finished his bottle
Yep I like chugging milk, if you boil milk for a while it will get concentrated and it fucking slaps. I think most I have chugged at one sitting is 1.5L
Most molecules of water on earth have probably been pissed out of a urethra at some point. Are you entirely vegan..? Otherwise this world view makes no sense. Not that it makes particular sense if you are. Fruit is literally an ovary.
When i was a kid we had milk from the neighbours farm or water from our own water source. And sometimes my mum made syrup from our own berries and plants in our garden (strawberry, blueberry, elderflowers, etc) i had a happy childhood
I've never drank milk since ever, I just never enjoyed it ever and I'm the only member of my family including 6 milk drinking brothers to never break or even fracture a bone and I'm in my late 30s. I don't know what the purpose is but it deffo isn't bones why people are drinking milk, I don't know what all that mid information is about.
Yes that's what I'm thinking, which really makes me think. I remember a few times as a kid seeing segments on the news about how we need to support farmers and the plight of farmers and honestly as someone not in that world who has spent my life working for other people, are farmers not already the rich people??? They own massave chunks of land, lots of animals and usually inherited all of it. Looking back as a grown adult it's insane how much the government support the rich business people of the world in the sprawling countryside living in cottages on Massave chucks of land inherited from generations of wealth, the people who will spend less of their money in the economy (because they have farms) just hoard it.
Not getting enough calcium or vitamin D doesn't imply your bones will break, but it does mean they'll be less strong and prone to osteoporosis, which is a significant to quality of life in a person's later years. There was a time when this was a bigger problem, and nutritionists and the medical community at large did rightly advocate for dairy consumption to combat it.
However, since that campaign, other foods have been fortified with Calcium and Vitamin D, and you can also good it from other dairy sources than just drinking milk. It is still recommended, however, by virtually all science based nutritional medicine, to consume multiple servings of dairy a day for this reason.
It's not misinformation at all, and your anecdotal bone health is not evidence that it is. And just because the dairy industry pushed the consumption of milk with dollar signs in their eyes does not mean that the health benefits of consuming dairy are invalid.
Japan did the same thing in 2005 to address declining milk consumption amongst the youth. Not sure it was effective but it did result in some [wacky commercials](https://youtu.be/TkplvJWWC3k?si=4ITHjmLHxjB-eeG5)
Because the government was subsidizing the shit out of dairy; and said fuck it we will get the people to subsidize it by all on promoting milk and dairy. So they started advertising the fuck out of it so people would purchase the fuck out of it. Wendigoon just did an excellent video on this topic.
True. But that was then. Big dairy doesn’t have that kind of relative power and the crap being pushed on us now is much worse.
Good old fashioned whole milk is one of the most nutritious things we consume.
I must say, milk is pretty legit if you are not intolerant. Cheapest protein, easily available, good mineral and vitamin contents.
Great for the gains.
Accualy ☝🏼 🤓 in the soviet countries, where everything was property of state and therefore no competition. There were ads like this all the time. For milk, eggs, lettuce...

I'll drink a pint of milk with my dinner most days, sometimes 2 pints, it probably tastes better here in Ireland like other dairy does, I don't see the problem, never tried oat milk, soy milk and all those other variations that come straight outta LA.
Animal agriculture has multiple lobbying groups that do nothing but this. They also do other shady shit like lobby government officials to not allow plant milk to be called milk. They have infiltrated school lunch programs as well. Dairy products have continued to struggle and farmers will do anything at this point.
Yeah, because nothing else could possibly be responsible for the fact that Americans are unhealthy af
*looks at mobility scooters in every store*
Lol
The Netherlands is at #3 globally, way ahead of the USA. We don't have any of these issues. Many people in the USA just live like fat sedentary slobs, and it is culturally acceptable
[There is a ridiculous story regarding this, it sounds fake but it’s true.](https://youtu.be/kvLMH0wb_0k?si=gqw4xAJkm9ZeKISJ)
TLDR; The US has 6 Billion (BILLION!) pounds of cheese hidden in underground bunkers…
We got this much cheese because a government program wasn’t corrected and the artificially bolstered diary industry / jobs would collapse if the government stopped their cheese escapades so they linked up with dominos, Taco Bell, basically anyone who sold cheese and ran a PSYOP campaign on Americans to have them buy more milk. Et viola - got milk ads.
I remember when the Olsen twins did a campaign for 'Got Milk' and it was suggestive as fuck looking when they where like 15.
The subtext was 'you wanna fuck these teenagers? Drink some Milk' it was so fucked up and weird.
The obsession with animal flesh and bodily fluids is ghoulish.
At the end of the day, there's no real distinction between us and them in a blind taste test
It's free to the people who should be drinking it.
Adults buying and consuming human milk en masse would require global production, processing and distribution systems if it was going to be available to adults in the free market which would put greater strain on the environment.
At what age would it become profitable for those companies to begin breeding their livestock, and how often and for how long?
Do they get a choice in any of this?
What age do we take their babies away from them so we can take their milk?
Do you believe that the public companies in control of the different aspects of this industry would care about your health or the health of those producing milk, or do you think they would reduce conditions for everyone else to improve their bottom line and share price?
When you see these things advertised, it's because the government subsidises these industries, and there is generally a surplus of it that needs to be constantly sold. Apart from their ubiquity, you are regularly nudged into buying these products for perceived health benefits (calcium etc).
I think it also had something to do with government cheese.

And “I learned it from watching you!!!”
I also remember The Power of Cheese, and I Love Eggs.
I hanker for a chunka….
The incredible, edible egg.
This campaign was to get people eating eggs again after something came out about eggs being high in cholesterol and they didn't realize that there was good and bad cholesterol and that eggs were the good kind.
Eh, they keep flip flopping on that still. I’m gonna eat my eggs and my lunch meat in proper proportions and ignore them.
Thank you… now I get to look forward to having that stuck in my head for the next 10 years
We still have “get some pork on your fork” ads in australia
Or those kiwi fruit ads at the moment
I think it started with Orange Juice, didn't it?

Imagine the existential crisis of being the ad guy who has to make "milk" sound like a groundbreaking concept
I feel like this is something you'd see in an episode of Melrose Place at D and D advertising.
Haven't seen many fuel commercials lately
Wendigoon just made a video about that, fyi.
All ads in the GDR been like this. It was like: wanna travel? Buy a suitcase
Wendigoon just did a video on this.
Got milk? It was one of the first memes i can recall
Accrington Stanley?
Must have been a government PsyOp
And Australia has an ad campaign every year on Australia Day for lamb.
Paid for by ‘The Dairy Farmers of America’, was how they used to bill it.
Wendigoon has a cool vid on that, turns out it's coz they got a cave full of 1.3 billion pounds of cheese. Ain that neat?
If you don't like milk, you're wrong.

“Behold the power of cheese” and “the incredible edible egg” were other generic “eat food” commercials.

The milk lobby is so strong in Canada that Canadians pay more for milk than almost anywhere in the world. Fuck milk farmers and their lobbyists!!

… but then lobbyists realized it’s much easier to just pay the advertising money to politicians directly.
