As milk coke trends on Twitter, it has people divided online.

There is no dearth of bizarre food around the world. While some are whacky emerging trends, others are well-known dishes considered delicacies. And sometimes it is the weird combinations that baffle people. Latest thing joining the list is an erstwhile science experiment– milk coke. Yes, remember the time when as kids we mixed milk and Coca-Cola to find out what happens when the dairy is mixed into a carbonated drink. That is apparently a real thing in Birmingham and people love it!

@davidallengreen Can you confirm or deny a thing for me? I am currently being told by @JimMFelton that milk in coca cola is A Brummie Thing. IS IT TRUE?

And to prove that it’s a real thing and he has been doing it for years Felton shared a screenshot of his dad supporting him.

The discussion about the bizarre drink even got politicians involved, with Labour MP Wes Streeting looking to test the Birmingham theory.

@jessphillips What is your position on ‘milk coke’ please?

— Wes Streeting MP (@wesstreeting) March 1, 2019

Never heard of it

— Jess Phillips (@jessphillips) March 1, 2019

The conversation quickly gained momentum and involved more than just friends and co-workers online and garnered mixed reactions online. While some thought it was disgusting, others were not sure how they feel after trying it out. Others even threaten to call on police to punish him for the obnoxious drink, and some tried to cope up with the situation sharing memes.

It’s meant to be a hangover cure but the real purpose is to enable one to continue on the Buckfast from breakfast time onwards.

I like the idea but would down the Coke/Irn Bru first, then the milk.

The children born in the post-brexit world are really going to grow up thinking Milk Coke was a delicacy enjoyed during the days where Britain had access to fresh diary
