Lactaid Talking Cow Mascot Ad

(This is the Lactaid spot called: “Real Milk”)

The (animated, cartoon) cow mascot on the carton of Lactaid tells the woman that Lactaid is real milk, but it doesn’t have lactose to give her discomfort. Then she says it tastes just like real milk, adding: “Come on; would I lie about this?”

But you know, how do we know this isn’t just regular milk in the carton if it tastes like regular milk? Maybe the cow would lie about this to sucker lactose intolerant people like this woman into drinking real milk because as a cow, she’s insulted that some people are allergic to milk, and she wants revenge for the smear to milk’s reputation that lactose intolerance causes. I mean, cows go to all this trouble to make milk, and some people say it makes them sick: what an insult! If you were a (cartoon) cow, wouldn’t you be irate at such a suggestion?

But then again, if you were a cartoon cow, you wouldn’t be able to make milk anyway. But maybe this cartoon cow is doubly upset because she wants to make milk, but she can’t produce milk, and there she is having to convince people who think milk makes them sick. I mean, her wildest dream is being able to produce milk naturally herself, and here are people slandering her fantasy liquid: the nerve! I’d think she’d be feeling pretty intolerant of lactose intolerance, and she’d want to create some catastrophic colic chaos!

So Lactaid; what is it: real milk or bull cocky?

Here’s the mutated moo juice marketing:
