Coke's new milk

Coke is coming out with a new type of milk which they say will cost twice as much as regular milk.....would you try or buy this new milk product?

Nope. Milk's expensive enough as it is. Besides, I'm lactose intolerant.

I doubt the double price is commensurate to quality.
I'll take dairy milk any day over a questionable processed milk.

I found another article about this new milk from Coke. There was quite an uproar it seems because they were supposedly using women only clothed in milk to advertise the product as I understood it. Check this out:

Those ads. Wow. I don't really care about the milk splash clothing. It's kind of neat, although the poses made me roll my eyes. Sexy blonde pinup girls. As if that hasn't been done to death. Anyway, what makes me go "wow" is the presence of the scale. As if women didn't already have enough hangups over their weight. Thanks, Coca-Cola.

I fail to see how this kind of advertising is sexist. All I see is pin-up girls with their mouths wide open. Seriously, those expressions take away whatever potential for sexiness there might otherwise be in the pictures.

No, I'm not still interested in buying double price milk from a megacompany that has been involved in severe ethical issues lately.

It's not the poses or the lack of real clothing, it's the inclusion of the bathroom scale. I really don't want to get into why the scale sends a very clear and sexist message, but as a woman I can tell you that most ads geared toward my demographic are designed around maintaining an unrealistic standard of beauty, and it gets OLD.

I see. So it's not only lacking in sexual appeal (which was its intended purpose from what I gather), it's also tasteless. This advertising campaign is indeed a trainwreck. I guess I'll avoid Coke products even more consciously from now on.

Yeah, "trainwreck" is a good summation. I'd like to add that "Drink what she's wearing" and "Better milk looks good on you" are seriously gross statements. *shudder*

While I found the adverts amusing, I won't be buying this stuff on the sole basis that this "engineered milk" just cannot be good for you. Same reasons why I won't eat mc donalds or potato chips.
