CONTEST ENTRY: Milky the Marvelous Milking Cow

[promisemewings.livejournal.com]

Upon finding this gem of a toy ad, I also found out that beloved Milky was pulled off the market because she was full of NOT milk but LEAD. I then quit laughing.

The Soviets planned it, you know. Either that or she had a teeny-tiny little Superman hiding in her lead insides.

Forgive me, I'm tired.

Milk (http://www.notmilk.com) ain't all it's cracked up to be, either.

okay, maybe I'm horrible, but when you mentioned the lead I just started laughing harder. like, I literally cannot stop laughing. this is amazing.

x2, for serious.

My cousin had one of those. My uncle had a dairy farm, so it seemed natural to buy his daughter a cow who gives "milk" via tablet.

Yes

Aww. Milky's back! I love this one.

I STILL HAVE MY MILKY.

She even still sucks up water when you pump her tail, and when she's full, her head still pops up and says "Moo"... but I no longer have any of the tablets you put in her udder to make the milk white, and one of the teats has been torn off.

yes

That is a really weird toy. I think I'd rather have real milk than "pretend milk."

I still want Milky. I've been waiting since I was nine...

Yes...

[talonvaki.livejournal.com]

Oh! My sister and I had a Milky! I tried to make her drink real milk. That...didn't really work.

Yes

Mmm. Got lead?

[murakozi.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I remember Milky. I guess I always kind of assumed she stopped being sold because it was kind of a lame idea. I have to think that most kids probably don't get excited over the prospect of milking a toy cow.

Having said that, I'll admit I wouldn't mind having a Milky. I don't know why.

I had this toy when I was little. My mom threw it away because my brothers and I used to always pinch our fingers in between her tail and her backside....ugh.

Lead? Milky! Say it ain't so!

(I still want one, too. It's just an easy-going and peaceful toy, I guess.)

I *always* wanted one and never got her. Maybe it's for the best in retrospect. XD
