People are still trying to work out if ‘milk Coke’ is a real thing or not
It started when the great Jim Felton espoused the joys of ‘milk Coke’ – especially if you are from Birmingham – and it hasn’t really stopped since.
Milk coke is a real thing. Brummies love it. We can all move on from this discussion now, I will be taking no further questions. pic.twitter.com/dQR8bg3UAO

Yum? Or yuck? Mostly yuck, it turned out.

What do you do with the curdled bits?
— Debra P (@Dapfalk) March 1, 2019
You chew.
— James Felton (@JimMFelton) March 1, 2019
NO

Counterpoint: Yes

This is the worst fucking post on this god forsaken website

Wrong. I’ve never seen such an incorrect hot take.

Fed up with people not believing him – why ever not? – Jim offered up some context to what the hell was going on. Like asking his dad to back him up.

Finally – finally – some people were convinced.
@JimMFelton mixed a glass for me and it’s actually amazing. Think caffeinated chocolate milk

We think Jack Monroe probably nailed it.
It’s a coke float without any of the good bits, just, why
— Jack Monroe (@BootstrapCook) March 1, 2019
And this person was thinking along similar lines.
I’m putting my neck on the line here, but I reckon it will taste a bit like ice cream soda made with coke (which is lush), when it’s melted.

Yes, we remember those! But what did Jim have to say?
This interview is over.

And it shows no sign of going away just yet. We’re just going to have to try it for ourselves.
Not sure about Brummies, a Glaswegian told me about this many years ago.
It’s meant to be a hangover cure but the real purpose is to enable one to continue on the Buckfast from breakfast time onwards.
I like the idea but would down the Coke/Irn Bru first, then the milk.

sorry but drinking a coke float instead of milk coke does not make you any less morally depraved

My sons and husband drink it. Great for heartburn.

I’ve called the police and they said they’ve been inundated with calls about this https://t.co/tu34VXhLu4

My mother advised me the first time I was hungover that a Coke followed by a chocolate milk was the ultimate cure.

For those outside of the UK let me reinforce that this is not normal British behaviour and James will be given the help he needs. https://t.co/J3WaEvUaOK
