Man claims ‘milk coke’ is a thing, Twitter explodes in anger

Milk coke, or coke milk, is not a thing, but some sociopath on Twitter has claimed that it is, and the responses are predictably aggressive

Surely he’s trolling?

There are several combinations of food that shouldn’t mix well but do. For example, bacon and maple syrup. The first time someone suggested that to me I scoffed at the idea. Now? I’m requesting extra pots of syrup until the bacon is drenched in it. Pears and blue cheese. In the world of drinks, milk and Malibu is a tasty combo, surprisingly. Milk and coca cola though? Surely not.

I ask that because James Felton, BAFTA winning TV and Radio comedy writer, has claimed that it’s a thing people drink in Birmingham.

“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,” Felton said on Twitter.

Now, it’s not like people on Twitter to get worked up over nothing, but they were incensed by this monstrosity.

Responses included people claiming they were informing the police, preparing to stage an intervention and even that this was the single worst ever tweet, which is fucking saying something.

He’s almost certainly trolling, in which case, he’s caught a handful of fish, but still, stooping to such levels that you would advocate such a monstrous drink deserves the criticism it got.
