“Milking” has taken over as the latest internet-inspired craze, overshadowing planking. This quirky trend involves students dumping two-litre milk cartons over their heads.
If you believed that no web craze could surpass the absurdity of planking, the creativity of a group of students from Newcastle, England, would likely change your mind.
Tired of shoving each other around the streets in shopping carts and adorning statues with traffic cones, this group of male students opted to capture videos of themselves pouring pints of milk over their heads, all for the entertainment of their friends.
The “milkers” can be seen executing this bizarre stunt in bustling shopping districts, standing in the midst of traffic, outside popular pubs favored by students, and even emerging from wheelie bins while sitting in trees.
After sharing their antics on Facebook and YouTube, the students noticed similar videos popping up at prestigious institutions, including Oxford University and others across the UK.
Reactions on YouTube varied, with some viewers commending the students while others criticized their childish behavior.
One commentator remarked, “This is legen… dairy,” while another added, “Holy cow man! Dairy good video. I stumbled upon this while semi-skimming YouTube.”
However, ‘milking’ comes with its own set of challenges: an expensive laundry bill and the persistent odor of sour milk.
