Twitter Dream Milk Meme

On the 8th of December 2021, the Reddit user u/0tt0_0fficial posted in the r/thomastheplankengine subreddit. The Post was titled "Dreamt Last Night That Twitter Added a New Feature Where The Percentages Of Users' Milk Was Always Displayed" and was accompanied by an image (see right).

This post was really popular and gained over 5000 upvotes. Then it eventually made its way to twitter creating some quite humorous results. People added their desired milk type in their usernames (e.g. Username - Whole) and then people started posting as if it was a true update. You could see the usual twitter interactions but with a Milk themed jokes. For example, instead of someone getting dunked on (pun intended) for their anime profile picture they would be told to be quiet for their like of Skim Milk.

This was a short, yet interesting view into what people can get weirdly patriotic about. Seeing people create a sort of dislike for other people just based on preferred milk sort of shows how petty internet beef can be. Its similar to people disliking each other based on sports teams, at least in my opinion.In all seriousness, this is just a small joke and it was nice to see people come together and make jokes about milk of all things. A lot of people embraced it and took it straight to the top, adding their own preferred milk type to their username. One twitter user even went above and beyond and gave us a bunch of images to use to call out other milk enjoyers.
