There is a company in NY that has develped a new milk. It is called Rejuvenating Power Milk (RPM) It has the benefits of skim milk and is low in fat. The secret ingredient is that it is “carbonated” I say eeeeeew I don’t like milk to begin with but carbonated? Who would drink that? ---

I second the request for the pukey smiley! Milk is disgusting enough as it is, but carbonated?! ---

You know, I’ve been hearing rumors of an incipient brand of carbonated milk ever since I was in high school (12 years ago). Is it that different companies keep trying to release carbonated milk and fail miserably or that same damn idiots keep butting their heads against the wall on this? Like there’s this one mad scientist in an R&D department at one company with a carbonated milk fetish (“Look! A monkey with 4 asses!”)…weird… ---

You’re welcome, you’re welcome! 🙂 **slortar** : Mac Farms already has one carbonated milk on the market. Their website has a [letter from the FDA](http://www.macfarmsinc.com/press/usda_approval.pdf) (pdf) approving the sale of eMoo. ---

Let’s see… How to Drink Carbonated Milk (aka ‘Mad Cow’). 1 part milk, 1 part club soda, and 24 parts gin. You drink the gin and pour the rest the down the toilet. Then you heave the rest down the toilet if you’re still conscious and/or alive. ---

Am I the only one who would love to try this? Carbonation makes a lot of drinks feel more “refreshing”, so I would be well up for it. I love milk, but it never quenches my thirst. ---

Yuck, yuck, yuck!! However, if someone can convince school kids to drink this stuff, as opposed to sodas, I suppose that’s not a bad deal. Still, yuck! ---

I hate you, Jeff. I spent all these years building a fragile mental construct allowing me to disbelieve in the existence of carbonated milk and with one link you cause it all to crumble down. I’m going to be in therapy for years, thank you very much. _shudder_ Carbonated milk. What will they think up next? Nonalcoholic beer? _shudder_
