Was Charles a politician?
Did Charles have some agenda behind this episode that had little or nothing to do with any properties of the milk itself?
Totally off the hip. Is it Nick Charles drinking that glass of milk in the The Thin Man series?
reply to dirtball:

No
Did Charles drink the milk to show it was edible?
safe?
I’m having trouble formulating this to get at the idea I want. So, as opposed to Folly’s question above, would the primary reason have been something in the very general area of “I’m drinking this milk in front of news cameras to show solidarity with the dairy farmers, who are getting screwed over”? Not that specifically, but maybe a similar-ish idea?
OR “People claim this milk is unsafe. I’m going to drink it to show it’s safe.” like the whole raw milk controversy in the 80s.
Was Charles famous before this event?
Was it newsworthy because it was him?
Because of the cow that the milk came from?
Because of where the milk was drunk?
Is Charles his real name?
Is this about pastuerizaiton or some other kind of purification of the milk?
Was any kind of scientific advancement being shown or tested?
Was any kind of medical advancement being shown or tested?
Note: I’m glad to see this thread back. I actually have one once this one is solved.
