So I read on Facebook that 23.2 million Americans believe that chocolate milk

comes from brown cows. And not once did I doubt this fact, because...well, because more than 74 million Americans voted for Trump. So I thought to myself, what can we do with this number of gullible people and it just popped in my head. It has to be easier to sell brown cows under the guise of magic Chocolate milk factories, than it would be to sell magic beans.

Anyone want in on this profitable venture?

Everything on Facebook should be presumed false until proven otherwise. Saves a lot of time.

Cows need to be milked by humans and that it’s not weird to keep impregnating so humans can have milk and cheese

Seems to me that human animals are the only species to have made an industry of the practice.

I'm lactose intolerant, maybe I'm the normal one.

In fact, why don't they genetically come up with a cow that is lactose-free? I refuse to take Science seriously until they do.

I would expect a great deal of overlap between MAGAts and the how now brown cow contingent.

It's amazing to me that scammers in every kind of scammy business have not taken greater advantage of the utter stupidity and gullibility of trump supporters. They could go to any rally of his and clean up with some made-up product that you have to special-order. There should be trucks galore selling fake stuff to them. Make it about guns, that would help. Or trump's cell phone number.

Well, it was a meme on facebook without a link. So I gave it the level of seriousness it deserved. But since you asked, I looked it up and the best I can discern is that an unscientific poll was circulated to determine if people believed that chocolate milk came from brown cows and some people responded yes. The most likely explanation was that some people believed stupid questions deserved stupid answers.
