Episode Ten: Got Milk
What happens when a product everyone believes in… starts quietly disappearing from the fridge?
In this episode of Lies We Bought, I unpack one of the most famous campaigns in advertising history. From government dairy surpluses and school lunch programs to the iconic “Got Milk?” ads and the celebrity milk mustache.
We explore how a two-word slogan reshaped marketing by focusing not on why milk was good, but on what happened when it was gone.
Because sometimes the most powerful marketing doesn’t sell a product. It sells the fear of running out.
