What’s with all the milk-ice cube hate? I swear people today do not understand how sophisticated people (my people) drink milk. Whenever I join a conversation about the most marvelous form of calcium consumption on earth, I often find myself the center of much ridicule and torment due to my apparently taboo drinking habits. Which is the precise reason for this message. Nay, it is not a message, it is a proclamation. A bold document expressing (what I believe to be) the top five reasons you SHOULD drink milk with ice cubes.

1. You already do

Haha you naysayers. The title says it all. Have you ever purchased an ice coffee from your favorite coffee shop? Then I have news for you: You already drink milk with ice cubes! Milk is a key component  in those delicious ice coffees and you sip away, not thinking anything of it. They seem to be quite popular, so surely the public is okay with suchs methods of drinking?

2. If the ice melts  you’re doing it wrong!

You people always complain. “Ew gross, it makes my milk all watery.” But please, the milk you drink is already diluted. It surely isn’t coming straight from the cow. 2%, Skim, Whole, they have all been tampered with to make customers more happy. Furthermore, a smaller glass can solve many problems. Drinking your milk rather promptly allows it to stay at that perfect temperature and in the end you have two ice cubes to smack against your teeth!

3. It tastes better

Who likes milk that begins to heat up anyways? Warm milk is fine (though inferior to ICE cold milk) but you never see someone saying: “golly, I just love my 53 degree milk!” Thats weird. Milk is suppose to be cold! It is a refreshing beverage you have over a field of victory. The ice cold temperature settles on your taste buds and has a more pleasurable effect on your psyche. Have you never sipped ice cold milk after a hard day’s work and said “Mmmm… that is amazing?”

4. It leads to a more creative mind

No I don’t have a single source to back this up… But it is me (chuckles to self). I have had several conversations with fellow milk-with-ice consumers and some have recommended incredible ideas to me! Have you ever thought about freezing milk, and using that as your ice cubes? Genius!

5. It’s classy.

Imagine yourself on a beach. An umbrella by your side, waves crashing around you. Your hair is blowing in the wind and the sun reflects off your sunglasses. You swosh around your sophisticated drinking glass and the sound of ice cubes clashing with one another fills your ears. You take a sip of milk and smile with your gorgeous mustache. Sexy. All because you’re drinking milk with ice! Think about the world of possibilities that could open before you!

If you do not currently drink milk with ice cubes, I recommend you give it a whirl… what do you have to lose? If you really think your milk will be substantially watered down just remember it all goes to the same place anyways!
