Aubrey Plaza's Milk Campaign Backfires Amid Environmental and Moral Concerns - One Green Planet
www.onegreenplanet.org
However, Plaza eventually reveals that Wood Milk is not real, and the ad is actually a "Got Milk?" campaign emphasizing the benefits of dairy milk.

The ad campaign, created by the agency Gale, aims to make a point about dairy in a somewhat entertaining manner. It was directed by Hannah Levy and co-written by Neil Casey, both of whom are alums of the popular comedy show Saturday Night Live.

    1. If your bit depends on the audience being too stupid to remember that fruit juice exists, it's a bad bit.
    2. American dairy products often contain trace chemical contaminants from sources much scarier than trees. Link
    3. Interestingly, wood pulp does have a history as a food additive, but it's less of a "millennial nonsense" thing and more of a "ripoff scheme sometimes attempted by the agro-food establishment during periods of lax government oversight" thing. Link
