Once a year, in ye olde days of the late 90s, children across Manitoba would dress their teachers as cattle, wear their best milk moustaches to school, and go to bed dreaming of winning a giant, inflatable cow. In this episode, Alex interrogates the historical origins of this somewhat unusual childhood tradition known as Milk Spirit Week.

Listen to find out:

• Were six spilled cans of milk coincidence or conspiracy?
• How did pants settle a milk delivery strike?
• And just why do North Americans drink so much milk, anyway?

All that and more in this ultra-niche milk episode!
