About this listen
It’s 1993. You’re one trivia question away from $10,000, but your mouth is full of peanut butter and the milk carton is empty. Welcome to Lies We Bought. Today, Emily unpacks the "Got Milk?" campaign—the marketing "miracle" that saved a dying industry. But the story doesn't start with celebrities and white mustaches. It starts with "swill milk," wartime price supports, and a government that accidentally produced so much dairy they had to hide it in limestone caves.
We’re diving into:
- The Ghost of Aaron Burr: How a peanut butter sandwich changed advertising forever.
- The Caves of Missouri: The true story of the "problem of abundance."
- The School Lunch Mandate: How milk became a "non-negotiable" for American kids.
Is milk a nutritional powerhouse, or just a really successful redemption story? Let’s unpack the lie.
