It's game time! Milk edition!
Here's how it works: I will list 19 different facts about milk, along with 1 false "fact." Your job is to determine which fact is fake. The first person to ymail me with the false fact will win 200k. Please only one guess per person, and NO using side accounts. If I catch you using more than one account, and your answer was correct, your answer will be disregarded. Once somebody wins I will make a post on the BBS so you guys don't go around telling people false facts about precious milk!
