{{trope}}
A character -- [[Always Male|usually a man]] -- is—is a guest in the home of a woman with small children. He gets thirsty, opens the fridge, finds a container of milk, and starts drinking. Then, the homeowner comes along and informs him, "[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|You're drinking breast milk]]."
 
Invariably, the character doing the drinking will be [[Squick|squicked out]], and disgustedly spit out the milk. The audience's reaction will vary quite a bit more, considering how [[Crowning Moment of Funny|funny]] such scenes can be [[SturgeonsSturgeon's Law|if done well]], and the fact that in [[Real Life]] there are many people who have a [[Fetish]] for lactation, breast milk or both, and may even be [[Rule Thirty Six34|turned on]] by such scenes.
 
May lead to [[Fridge Logic]] when you consider that human milk is much, much sweeter than bovine or goat milk; the guy who was drinking it should have realized it wasn't what he thought it was without someone else telling him. It makes more sense if the milk is being used to complement coffee or breakfast cereal.

== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Lotte No Omocha]]'', Effie is the main provider of milk in the mansion. While it's mostly reserved for Lotte, other people get to taste her milk throughout the series. Naoya does so when he first sets foot in the mansion,<ref>it takes him several chapters to realize it</ref>, and in a later chapter, Lotte and all her classmates drank directly from her breasts thinking it would make their breasts grow bigger.
 
 
== Comics ==
* Not explicitly stated to be breast milk, but in ''[[Creature Tech]]'', Dr. Ong drinks from a cup at a group picnic before being told that family doesn't have a cow. Assuming he's being ostracized or mocked for being [[Straw Atheist|an atheist]]...
{{quote| '''Dr. Ong:''' So? I'm a country boy. I can drink ''goat's milk'' with the best of them.<br />
*panel shows a woman breastfeeding an infant while small children play nearby*<br />
*panel shows Dr. Ong spitting out his beverage* }}
* ''[[Baby Blues]]'' gag. Wanda asks Darryl if he wants milk in his coffee, then (off-screen) the milk is squirted into his coffee. Wanda yells "Bullseye!" and Darryl says "I'm going to miss it when you stop breastfeeding, Wanda."
Line 23:
== [[Film]] ==
* ''Rock Me, Baby''
{{quote| '''Jimmy:''' Dude, you just drank breast milk.}}
* In ''[[Look Whos Talking|Look Who's Talking]]'', James, played by [[John Travolta]], borrows a bottle from the fridge to put milk in his coffee. Mollie, played by Kirstie Alley, helpfully chimes in with the trope name.
{{quote| James: Thank a lot, man. [drinks coffee]<br />
Mollie: Hey, you know, that's breast milk.<br />
[James does a [[Spit Take]]] }}
** The gag is actually played out again at the end of the same scene, when James announces he's leaving with his coffee and "his breast milk."

== [[Literature]] ==
* A variant of this occurs in the web erotica ''Lesbian Land 2250''. The protagonist, who recently arrived in the setting, goes to get milk out of the fridge. As she's drinking it, she reads the label that says it's breast milk. Subverted when she doesn't seem to mind, and is in fact turned on by this. And then it's revealed that they regularly have women milked each day, with the milk being delivered all over the city like regular milk delivery.
* The end of ''[[The Grapes of Wrath (Literature)|The Grapes of Wrath]]'' has an intentional version when Rose of Sharon, who has recently experienced a stillbirth, nurses an old man dying of starvation. [[Hays Code|Cut from the movie version]], of course, given the year it was made.
 
 
Line 47:
* This came up once on ''[[Designing Women]]'', when Suzanne almost used milk Charlene had expressed for her infant daughter in her coffee.
* In ''[[Peep Show]]'' Jeremy deliberately uses {{spoiler|Sophie's}} breast milk in coffee as he and Mark have run out of cow's milk. He enjoys his coffee but Mark is disgusted when he realise what it is hes drinking and refuses to drink any more saying its practically cannibalism.
* ''[[Little Britain]]'' had a recurring skit about a grown man who was still breast-fed by his mother ([[Catch Phrase|"Bitty?"]]). At one point when they're having tea the father asks if she can spare any milk, so she sprays a little into his cup. The fiancée is thoroughly [[Squick|Squicked]]ed, [[What Does She See in Him?|but still marries him]] [[Rule of Funny|for some reason.]]
* On ''[[A Different World]]'', Jalessa left breast milk in the fridge. Ron uses the milk to make pina coladas for a bachelor party. As they are drinking, the babysitter explains that was breast milk. Cue multiple spit takes.
* Invoked in a sketch on ''[[The Kenny Everett Video Show]]'' when aging rocker Sid Snot orders a cup of tea from a roadside van. The woman serving asks if he wants sugar. He says yes and she reaches into her cleavage and pulls out a couple of sugar cubes which she drops in his tea. She then asks "Milk?" and he gives a [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|knowing look to camera]] and says "You wouldn't dare".
* Served as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] during the "Improbable Mission" sketch on ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'' (US version). Ryan and Colin have to prepare lunch (or something) for some foreign dignitary. Colin, a genetically modified agent, complains at one point that he lacks a "coffee gene", to which Ryan replies, "I'm not talking about ''coffee'', Mr. Moo!" Cue uproarious laughter.

* An ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]'' guest comic by the creators of ''[[The Wotch]]'' subverted this: http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2006-10-20
* [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/5/12 Toyed with] in ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]''.
* In an early ''[[Least I Could Do]]'' Rayne mistakenly drinks the breast milk from a girl's fridge. He takes it in stride:
{{quote| '''Rayne:''' Meh, it was either that or walk two blocks to the store. I stand by my choice.}}
* Hunter of ''[[Suicide for Hire]]'' would [http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20070715.html prefer] this kind of milk. Just ignore the fact that they're [[Furry Confusion|anthros]].
* Justified in ''[[Blade of Toshubi]]''. The character drinking it's insensate, and his hostess (an anthropomorphic cow), has to feed him ''somehow'', so she breastfeeds him.
* The punchline of this [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] [http://csimadmax.deviantart.com/gallery/27895270#/d4ogkgj comic by MadMax].

* On ''[[The Ricky Gervais Show]]'', he complained that a neighbor once made him a dessert from breast milk.
* [http://5secondfilms.com/watch/mothers_milk/ This] from ''[[Five 5-Second Films]]''.
* In ''[[Chakona Space]]'' Chakats [[Author Appeal|normally]] [[Fetish Fuel|drink]] each others milk. But there's one story where a Chakat wet nurse's roommate plays this trope completely straight, for several months before [[Pronoun Trouble|shi]] tells [[Hermaphrodite|hir]] where the stuff in hir coffee came from.
* Blog "The Sneeze" once featured breast milk on it's "Steve, Don't Eat It!" feature. Steve wasn't totally thrilled with the taste, but it was tolerable. He also tried it with Nesquik.
