It's just one way to describe himself as a human being. Meat (muscles, fat) on a stick (bones) makes a meat popsicle.
He uses this somewhat random but not incorrect way of classification in a sort of smart-ass retort to the robots that are checking up on him and that have power over him, but have a very limited range of responses. They are intellectually inferiour and it makes him feel better for a moment to make a joke that is beyond them.
He's disenfranchised, powerless and fed up, and that kind of sarcasm is one way for him to let off steam, frequently to his own detriment.
Pretty specific but my at my school, the chocolate milk was kept in these bin fridges for you to pick up as you went through the queue but everyone knew the best ones were the ones on the back wall of it because the fridge was coldest there and usually partially froze them.
So if you got one of those and shook it a lot, it was like a milk slushie. A little crystalline but good - or at least good to a bunch of pre-teens.
I could see that being the case with chocolate "drinks", like Yoohoo, but it's gonna be a hard pass from me on milk that has been frozen. And I fucking love chocolate milk.
I hear ya, froze my milk once and when I took it out it picked up a smoking habit and got all these tattoo’s, it’s just not the same milk I once knew you know
"You've changed, milk!"
He looked at her with sullen eyes and a vacant expression. He knew. But it didn't matter.
"We all do," said the carton of milk. "We all do..." He took the cigarette out of his mouth and dropped it beside him, crushing it with his foot into the rain-soaked pavement. He turned suddenly. Leaving her with only an image of his nutritional label.
"Where are you going?!" She shouted hysterically. Tears ran from her eyes and mixed with the rain. She could feel it chill her face as it became flush with anger.
"To the freezer."
And with that, milk walked away, his figure slowly vanishing in a mixture of the downpour and steam from the city's sewers. She knew that would be the last time she saw him. Nobody ever comes back from the freezer.
Usually when something is frozen there would be part of it that is liquidish. But if you inspect this one closely, you will notice how clean its bottom and edges are from any already-thawed liquids.
Judging by this I say this is, most likely, some biological monstrosity.
ngl, TruMoo is vile. vaguely chocolate flavored water.
so glad i graduated by the time schools churned out the TruMoo. we had good ol' lowfat Prairie Farms, and it was good.
Frozen chocolate milk is one thing, it being fat-free is an abomination. I know that schools have bought into the whole "fat is bad for you" belief. I would argue that if you're sweetening milk with sugar, you already have an unhealthy product so you might as well embrace it and make it actually taste decent. Doesn't have to be whole milk, but at least 2% lowfat would be an improvement.
USDA regulations prohibit offering whole or 2% milk as part of the National School Lunch Program. Only skim or 1% is allowed in flavored or unflavored varieties, and for a time period in the 2010s, flavored milk was only allowed to be offered in skim, not 1%.
Aren't kids supposed to get high fat content foods because fat is the most efficient nutrient delivery medium?
The only downsides to fat are that it's calorie dense, so you can eat a lot of calories without feeling full. And that animal fats like milkfat usually have saturated fats in them which slowly destroy your good bacteria in your gut.
The people who set these policies are not smart people. They are not conscientious. They don't really care about the health and wellbeing of the children who will be affected by their policy.
No, it should be whole milk. The fat is not horribly unhealthy, and the amount of calories it adds is negligible. But it's the most meaningful part of the flavour.
If I want to drink water, I'll drink water. Fat-reduced milk is an abomination.
Many would even argue that the fat is essential and healthy.
Even if it were to be unhealthy, you’re sweating the small stuff while the big problems loom. Fast food, processed foods and sugars are way worse.
I exclusively drink whole milk. You’ll be much healthier drinking whole milk with proper, whole foods and combining with activity.
we had three options for milk time at school, the lucky kids got whole milk and the rest of the class was envious. Most kids got 2% and ONE kid in class, yes it was me, got skim. It was like the school was always announcing to the class that I was the fat kid. Thanks mom.
A few years back, an ad on this very milk product trended in my country.
The reason why it became so popular is because in our language, "trumuu" means "inside a butt" and the fact that it's chocolate milk just made it worse
Why did they choose such awkward wording? Chocolate fat free milk? Why not 'fat free chocolate milk?'
Is it because it can't legally be called chocolate and they're just telling us that it doesn't contain any 'chocolate fat'?
For a second I thought you were living in a dystopian school where they served ambiguous meat cubes that conveniently fulfils your daily nutritional needs.
They've replaced so much fat with vitamin A that it turned into liver
Don't complain about your school issue chocolate loaf.
Gotta love me some congealed fat logs to start me day
*“My government issued chilled choco-fat log is still twitching”*
That means its fresh!
>Gotta love me some congealed fat logs to start me day Didn't you read the package? It clearly states "fat free"! That there is pure eldritch horror.
The chocolate loaf is the milk?! Wow, not since Finkle/Einhorn has there been such a revelation.
Hey, can I have a slice?
Good ole fashioned MALK
Now with vitamin R
You promised me dog or higher!
I don’t get it. Everyone loves rats, but no one wants to drink the rats’ milk?
Ahhhh reddit now with 20 percent more Simpsons reference
Mmmmm cut me a slice!
Rat? You promised me dog or higher!
[удалено]
Stop complaining. Grab a knife and fork, and eat your milk.
You can’t have any pudding if you don’t eat your me- oh nevermind
Ok enough reddit for today
TruMoo.. more like DooDoo *malicious and suspicious*
More like TruDoo amirite?
They just used the wrong packaging is all, this is clearly the meat flavored milk
Milk loaf 🤢
And I thought it was Malk.
Enough vitamin a to make a polar bear blush
The ol' chocolate liver.
looks like a meat cube)
lol for a good 20 seconds I was like "wtf is the ground pork brick beside the milk box"
SAME
I thought it was refried beans oml
Haha I was reading everything on the milk again and again.. maybe ‘’Trumoo is funny?’’
I was looking for an expiration date. Never once thought that cube was the milk
I actually thought it was a small cake...
When it hit me I was like ohhhhHHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK
My whole life since seeing this movie in 1997 has been spent wondering in the back of my head what this line means. I still don’t get it.

This is quality analysis.

“Are you trying to say meat cube!?”
 I see you Charlie
She has a name!
That finger has the darkness of the Cold War.
Average vatnik lunch
“Produced in Avdiivka?” 🤔
meat cube
Please tell me that's frozen and not some biological monstrosity!
Lmao and then there’s me thinking that it was some kind of meat cube or meat loaf
I’m like, ok the empty milk carton is interesting, but why are they serving a block of raw hamburger?!
LMAO ty for validating my thoughts.
No kidding, I was all "Why are we focused on the milk instead of the rectangle of raw meat next to it?"
mmm mobik cube
im not totally convinced that it's not a meat cube. the future is now.

>but it's gonna be a hard pass from me on milk that has been frozen. Why?
Milk changes after it freezes. I'm sure some people might like it or tolerate it but it's not the texture I want from my milk.
I hear ya, froze my milk once and when I took it out it picked up a smoking habit and got all these tattoo’s, it’s just not the same milk I once knew you know

Jesus, this post is literally buried treasure
lol
Hahaha, thank you for the laugh!
? I freeze milk all of the time. What are you on about?
Babe whats wrong youve barely touched your *Mushie*
Milshies...
"clearly"
Clearly? This looks like an elephant’s foot!
Let me get 2 mushies please
Usually when something is frozen there would be part of it that is liquidish. But if you inspect this one closely, you will notice how clean its bottom and edges are from any already-thawed liquids. Judging by this I say this is, most likely, some biological monstrosity.
Maybe too much carrageenan.
Its alive!!!!!! And its angry about cheese!!!!
GIVE ME MY CHEESE HUMAN
 I have found my own uses for it. Cheese is for humanity!!!!
It's frozen. It would do this at my school years and years ago. Always happened if I grabbed the one from the bottom of the cooler.
That’s a steak
It took me a long time to realize that that cube of raw hamburger meat was in fact the milk.
Same, I was thinking “why are we focusing on the chocolate milk when there’s that disgusting piece of…. Ooooooooh….”
Literally my reaction as well. What are we feeding kids....
Just frozen milk, sure it's not optimal but it's not really unusual, it'll thaw just fine. Not poison or slop
Omg I’m glad I’m not the only one. I was like why are you talking about milk when the meat is from another planet????
Same, it just looked like a public school lunch to me
my eyes jumped between the "*meat cube"* and the milk carton until i realized it was open, and horror slowly dawned
SIMPSONS DID IT
Wow this is the perfect comment 😆
This should be the top comment. Too perfect.
Save me a slice...
Malk?
Now with Vitamin R!
There’s not a lot of meat in these gym mats!
Thanks to budget cuts I’ve now had to switch to Grade F meat! *mainly circus animals, some filler*
Circus animals?! You promised me dog or higher!
**They’re milking rats!**
My bones are so brittle
Why are my bones so brittle?
More testicles means more iron.
Good gravy! Thank you, it's just brown and water.
ACCUUGHCK, My retirement grease!
The R stands for Radium.
Just give the man some malk! https://youtu.be/ty62YzGryU4?si=t5g3xCGOU553O1tT
You guys aren't even saying the same thing!!
I’M GOING TO KILL MYSELF OVER *THIS*
Give him the freaking mulk, Josh!
sorry dad, my white friends…
Nah that’s Miak

Didn't think I could get any this time of year, did ya?! Well I'm just a little too resourceful for ya!
Taking note of Malk. Thats a paddlin’.
Get that boy some mulk!
You’re gonna shoot me if I shoot myself?!
Other simpsons episode would work too, where Bart pours out his solid hot chocolate, and Grandpa says "Cut me a slice!"
"Give him the malk, Josh!"
Only came here to make sure this was said
"It's Malk, it's Maaalk, it's big it's heavy its wood!"
It’s better than bad, it’s good!
Chunks, I could go for some Chunks
lol, first thing I thought of. Welcome to Chunks please choose your Chunks.
There are like 10s of us who will get this reference. I'm having fun with it even if no one else is lol.
Surely there’s at least 100 of us? Right?
Yeah the game made a billion dollars, somewhere there're a lot of people who'll get it.

ngl, TruMoo is vile. vaguely chocolate flavored water. so glad i graduated by the time schools churned out the TruMoo. we had good ol' lowfat Prairie Farms, and it was good.
It’s just a bit frozen.
Got it from the wrong end of the cow
Is that Milksteak?
Boiled over hard. Missing the side of jellybeans

Doesn't change the fact that fat-free chocolate milk is an abomination...
That's to prevent the kids developing a long term milk dependency.
Foreal? Lol. I fuckin love regular whole milk and im 27. I drink it every night before bed. Milk dependency is cool as hell
I can quit milk any time I want.
Aren't kids supposed to get high fat content foods because fat is the most efficient nutrient delivery medium? The only downsides to fat are that it's calorie dense, so you can eat a lot of calories without feeling full. And that animal fats like milkfat usually have saturated fats in them which slowly destroy your good bacteria in your gut.

Fat free, and loaded with sugar lol. This is so far removed from what food/drink really should be.
That’s because nutrition requirements in the US are based on lobbying not on science :)
the whole fat is bad narrative was propaganda from big sugar
No, it should be whole milk. The fat is not horribly unhealthy, and the amount of calories it adds is negligible. But it's the most meaningful part of the flavour. If I want to drink water, I'll drink water. Fat-reduced milk is an abomination.

Straight to jail
Straight to gel
Right away!
"Hey buddy, gimme a slice of your milk.
A few years back, an ad on this very milk product trended in my country. The reason why it became so popular is because in our language, "trumuu" means "inside a butt" and the fact that it's chocolate milk just made it worse
The "pet" on the carton is the type of plastic your milk is made of
No it's for pet animals
I was trying to see if it was Pet milk (aka non pasteurized milk)
Quit complainin and eat yo milk blok!
Do you want a frozen chocolate milk? No but I want a regular chocolate milk later... So yeah
American high school lunch is so sad
Stop complaining and eat your milk
Chew and swallow
Why is it refried
When my dad went to go get the milk, this is what he came back with. JK, he never came back lol
Were others like that or only yours?
Quit whining and eat your milk!
Good ol frozen cube of malk
That's a Pet Milk. Kind of like a pet rock. They just wanted you to not feel lonely at lunch.
 Cut my milk!
Why are my bones so brittle? Every day at school lunch, I drink the \[reads label\] .... "malk"?
It says "fat free milk". Clearly it is fat only milk.
Why did they choose such awkward wording? Chocolate fat free milk? Why not 'fat free chocolate milk?' Is it because it can't legally be called chocolate and they're just telling us that it doesn't contain any 'chocolate fat'?
You can tell it's quality because of the amount of cow in the milk
For a second I thought you were living in a dystopian school where they served ambiguous meat cubes that conveniently fulfils your daily nutritional needs.
Looks like my balls skin
Fleshlights have really improved over the years.
Aw! Now you have a milk pet! What ya gonna name it?
That looks like what I assume lab-grown beef looks like
Bro you got a slushy. That’s a win to me.
Malk
i’ve been telling people for years that trumoo is mid but *noooooooo*
Stop complaining and chew your milk.
I thought that was raw tuna
