Pepsi and milk. " It's an acquired taste " - Laverne DeFasio

[@shirleyrombough8173]

It's an acquired taste; one that I don't wish to acquire. They said that about Scotch. That was a different story.

[@keithshaughnessy1645]

I came to the comment section just to see if there was a Laverne reference. Good on you! And, yes we are old.

@@keithshaughnessy1645 I was tempted to thumb down this mean, mean comment but, alas, it's true.

I can't believe Stephen & his writers don't remember Milk & Pepsi was originated by LaVerne DeFasio.

I KNEW someone would remember LaVerne’s favorite drink! RIP, Penny Marshall. 🌹🌹🌹.

I can almost consider "pilk" something to try, like a Pepsi float where the ice cream has melted, but then my logical brain lightly taps me on the shoulder and whispers softly into my ear, "No."

[@zoebirss9944]

It's quite good

[@jessiejohnson6424]

It's quite good.... It's just like a melted float. It's cheaper 👍but it's the same.

its literally a melted pepsi float.. i dont know why all the hate for laughs from ignorant people..

[@sophbliss]

Oh my God Stephen, you have unlocked one of my earliest memories with this Pilk thing. I distinctly remember pouring milk in my Pepsi as a toddler then immediately asking my mother to clean it up. I don't think I tried it even, I just cried.

[@oliviagore7067]

🤣🤣🤣

[@rhymesfromthedeep]

It tastes like the worse parts of milk and pepsi put together. Tried this when I was 8... Should have gotten a patent and ban the use of this idea... IT was BAD...

[@lysanamcmillan7972]

[@danielgehring7437]

Little known fact, nearly all jewelry stores have these little balloons they'll just give you if you ask for one, that you inflate to keep the box from sinking in case of maritime er, oopsy. It even usually fits under the cardboard that holds the ring so it's not visible during the popping of the question. Some places even have special boxes with the balloon preinstalled. Barring that, bubble wrap also works great.

[@Evelyn_2401]

This is so interesting! Thanks for that fact - It makes sense with how expensive they are.

[@Asphodel123456]

But a balloon inside the box doesn't increase the volume, thus not increasing it's buoyancy. If anything it makes the box heavier, inreasing the rate in which it sinks...

[@danielgehring7437]

@@Asphodel123456 I believe the crux of the matter is more about the density of air in relation to water, than buoyancy. Also just the simple fact that balloons are airtight and won't fill with water like the rest of the box eventually will and displace the lighter air. But I'm not a physicist so maybe someone else will see fit to step in and provide a more thorough explanation.

[@LasseGreiner]

Reminds me of the manual of my phone, stating 'waterproof but does not float". All these things have a story.

[@marybravado6787]

There have been more than jewelry lost in Oceans, River's and lakes. Many camera's etc also. Stupid people

It’s obscenely sweet, but back home I used to indulge in coke + sweetened condensed milk. Poured over ice to soften the sugar blow, it’s float’s weird tasty cousin.

[@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494]

As usual, the second half of Meanwhile sounds like lyrics from Tom Waits... or maybe off Beck's "Mellow Gold" Good stuff.

[@davestir5743]

Pilk has been around for decades. While growing up the neighbor drank it while he worked on his hot rod in the garage in the evening. His was the only drink the kids wouldn't steal sips from, since no one wanted to try it. Never did....that was 40 years ago. I need to try it, might have been missing out on something for 40 years =)

[@amethystsavage4018]

You guys remember when Pepsi worked together with Peeps to make a marshmallow soda? I think I’m gonna go try that instead

[@shirleyrombough8173]

Oh pleese don't.

[@justhearmeout3959]

Sidenote: I would be okay with Peepsi. I mean, peeps are just mummified sugar, and Pepsi is just liquefied sugar, so really they go together

Steven shows a picture of "Pilk." He then has a glass of Pepsi and mixes it with milk. However, the result looks nothing like the ad. I love how this is TV.

Shouldn't it be Pilch then?

[@iniyama]

@@beenaplumber8379 honestly yes 😂 but "English is cooler for marketing purposes"

[@beenaplumber8379]

@@iniyama I will never understand that. I know in Europe that tends to be the case. I'm American, and when I was 18 I spent a week in Koln & Frechen with my brother and his German friends, and I learned it was the height of coolness among German youth to know all the words in English to whatever music was popular at the time, even if they didn't understand them. (It was 1985, which meant Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA album. I'm sure I heard "I'm on Fire" a hundred times that week!) Do you understand how weird that is? None of them could speak with me in English, and I didn't speak German, but they could all sing the words in English to every song that came on the radio. Imagine if people around the world thought your language was the really cool language that all the cool kids wanted to know. What if Scorpions sang all their songs in German, and the American kids were cool if they could sing "Winds of Change" in German? (I still get tears in my eyes because of that song, and the video of the wall coming down, ordinary people smashing it to pieces with pickaxes and sledgehammers, family members running to each other and hugging. I never believed it could happen. I wish American kids could sing that song in German and really learn what that time meant. They might learn to expect more from their leaders. Sorry, I could talk about this forever...)

Now, how different is milk and "a cola drink" from ice cream in soda. Brown cow is chocolate ice cream and either cola or root beer. Of course the root beer float. Someone made a strawberry ice cream and 7-up, too. These all work. But milk, unsweetened, and Pepsi does not? I must then believe that it's the Pepsi that is the issue here, not the milk.

[@danielgehring7437]

I do believe it's not anything about the drink at all that's really the issue here, it's that some corporation is trying to (nearly literally) cram it down our throats as an addition to the holiday season. Although the fact that it grosses people out is probably still working to their advantage, as the saying goes, any publicity is good publicity... as long as you don't say you like Hitler.
