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

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.

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. https://twitter.com/classiclib3ral/status/1101478109268852738 https://twitter.com/TechnicallyRon/status/1101477799901216775 https://twitter.com/ChrisHewitt/status/1101477537190940672 https://twitter.com/TobyonTV/status/1101478866223276033 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.
