This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think the thing is, you cannot drink a gallon of milk within some timeframe without puking. I forget where I heard that from...

Not very science of you friendo. Drink a gallon and confirm whether or not this is true. Otherwise you're just spreading baseless propaganda and we only allow based propaganda in these here parts.

Anon said a carton of milk. While you could get a gallon of milk in a carton, it would be more reasonable to assume anon is drinking from a smaller carton — maybe even one of those single serving cartons like the ones from school lunches. Though, I guess it would be much weirder to be walking around while drinking a gallon of milk, so maybe you’re right.

Yeah, carton to me means a cardboard container, so something well less than a gallon. Honestly, the biggest carton I've seen is like a pint, which is a reasonable serving.

Depends on how its sold locally. I can get pints and half-pints of milk at the local gas station, even sold in your choice of white, chocolate, strawberry or a seasonal flavor

My experience of doing GOMAD disproves that, I've had plenty of occasions where I drank it in a single session instead of spreading it out through the day.. But it may or may not be possible if you aren't accustomed to drinking a gallon of milk every day

The greentext specifies a carton, which suggests it's less than a gallon.

I'm not saying it's true; I'm saying it's something I have heard commonly; and it's my only guess as to why they were laughing.
