      I am apparently at the life stage where changing the color of the milk carton from a sensible white or blue to fiery orange makes me question, against all evidence, whether it actually contains milk. Have read the carton multiple times and knowledge losing to It's Orange Though.

      “We even call it milk in two languages.” “But it’s orange.” “Says it’s from Hida [a region in Gifu]. You like Gifu.” “But it’s orange.” “Doesn’t this cow look trustworthy?” “Lying orange-endorsing cow.”pic.twitter.com/V6gIg8nN6N

      No milk carton I’ve ever seen had to work harder, to less effect, to claim to contain milk.

          I remember reading an article (with photos) some years ago about a firm creating purple milk as a marketing experiment, but internet search produces no hits (search is not what it used to be, or perhaps I'm losing my mind).

          Maybe it's some sort of orange-flavored ice cream? That would explain why it's got "milk" on it so many times, despite being orange.

          Reminds me how a decade ago Tropicana redesigned their OJ carton (to a nicely modern look) and then had to rapidly abandon it because of customer outcry:https://www.cbsnews.com/news/in-blow-to-arnell-tropicana-drops-package-redesign/ …

          Huh, that carton looks a lot less like it contains milk than some bright red ones I’ve seen recently. I wonder why orange is less trustworthy than red on this claim.

          "Here's a box. It's half red and half white. It says 'definitely does not contain milk.'" What's inside?"

          That’s interesting! I totally get it, but I showed my wife and she said she wouldn’t question at all. She said if it were a gallon-jug, she’d definitely have to pour some, smell it. taste it.
