General Chat / "Got Milk?"

for a non-native, it makes no sense.
explain please.

It was an American advert to try and encourage people to drink more milk. Had celebrities (Jack from Lost is the only one I remember) with a "milk-moustash" and the words "got milk?"

I belive thats it anyway.

Ha, I was right.

Well done.

cheers

The whole 'got milk?' slogan still doesn't make sense to me...as in...'have you got any milk?'?

got milk? ads have been running in this country for about 5-6 years, i was just reading about "organic milk", appearently there are no rules as to what goes into it, so basically you could be drinking anything and everything besides milk, kinda scary thinking about dairy products with unregulated additives.

i guess its an odd attempt to make drinking milk cool.

i cant figure out why you don't understand it, tho.

"got milk?" doesn't make sense to me as a phrase.

See you neglect to realize that just because regular milk is regulated, that doesnt mean there isnt a whole lot of shit in there too.
ie: certain parts per million of insect bits that are allowed in a candy bar.

Not to mention all the growth hormones and antibacterial shit that is in a nonorganic product. Technically, by definition to be certified organic, there are no additives..

I personally like the t-shirts saying "got pot?"

Did you realize that there are parts from about fifteen different bugs in the average bottle of ketchup?

In proper English it means "Do you have milk?" Now does it make sense?

Improper English actually.

i still hate milk.

Think I made a "Got NE?" sig once.

Thanks yeshli. That slogan would so not work in the UK...but then again it's unnecessary cos everyone drinks milk anyway.
We have egg adverts though.

for a non-native, it makes no sense.

We have a pretty similar advertising campaign here in Germany. They broadcast it before most soccer/football games.

Now start being German and cheer for our team during the World Cup!

We have egg adverts though.

Do you mean the "Incredible Edible Egg" ads? We have those too.

Nah they're more 'best of british - eat british eggs' sort of efforts.

RE: the incredible edible egg, i'd like to know what the inedible egg had in it.
