I once saw an ad for ice cream with a purple cow on it. After that I believed ice cream came from purple cows, chocolate milk came from brown cows and normal milk came from black and white cows. Later I was introduced to banana-flavored milk and was convinced that this milk came from gorillas.

My Grandmother told me that chocolate milk and chocolate ice cream came from black cows, regular milk and vanilla ice cream came from white cows, and black and white cows were responsible for chocolate/vanilla swirl ice cream....it used to really bother me that she couldn't tell me which cows produced strawberry ice cream! I still don't know that one!!!!! :)

My elder sister used to believe, when she was 5 or so, that white cows gave out white milk, brown cows gave out chocolate milk, pink cows gave out strawberry milk, etc., and that by eating the right coloured grass you would turn into a cow of that colour and start giving out milk. She used to eat grass covered in mud at primary school in an attempt to turn into a brown cow. Needless to say it never worked.

When I was very small my mom's best friend worked in a restaurant with chocolate milk that came from a special chocolate cow that lived in the basement. Unfortunately for me it was always asleep when we went to visit so I never got to see it!

My mother used to tell me that brown cows made chocolate milk, and that if a cow was shaken up that you would get a milk shake. I also believed that the cows that were black with white in the middle which were constantly called oreo cows in my house made the oreo cream filling.

I used to believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows and strawberry milk comes from pink cows. Then I realized that they all came from white cows, and you had to add the chocolate or strawberry powder yourself.

When I was young my dad told me that chocolate milk came from brown cows... every time we would go on a trip he would point out the "chocolate cows!"
He also told me that strawberry milk came from pink cows.

I used to believe that the colour of the cow determined the type of milk that the cow produced. Although I never could figure out where strawberry milk came from

When I was a child, I truly believed that Chocolate milk came from Brown and Black cows, and white milk came from White and spotted cows. I also was told that Cows that lived in the hills and mountains had to wear boots so they would not fall off the hill...LOL

i used to believe that milk came from white cows, chocolate syrup came from brown cows, and the cows with mixed colors were chocolate milk, as a result of a browm cow and a white cow mating.

i used to think that chocolate mile came from brown cows and that (normal) milk comes from the white and black spotted cows. But if the black and white cows fell over when the cow tippers came, the cow's colors would get mixed up and they could only make chocolate milk now.

When I was very young, I used to think that regular milk came from white cows and chocolate milk came from brown cows. Needless to say, I was extremely perplexed by black cows and spotted cows.

I knew that Holsteins (Black & White Cows) gave white milk. I was told that chocalate milk came from Brown Cows.

My Dad told me that Chocolate Milk came from brown cows. I believed him. I didn't learn the truth until my hubby (#2) & I were travelling & came upon some brown cows & I told our daughter that was where chocolate milk came from!... The subject of where chocolate came from just had never come up all those years! Geeez!!!

We all know that most parents tell their kids that Chocolate milk comes from brown cows and white milk from white cows. Well, I wanted to know about Strawberry and my father told me that strawberry came from people! I was confused and he told me their was a group of people out there who dressed up like pink cows and that's where we got strawberry milk from! And, yes, I believed him and always watched the news, looking for the elusive 'strawberry people'. Man, I am gulliable.

When I was young my grandmother told me that brown cows make chocolate milk. I believed this for quite a while and now my kids believe it too!!

Angie

I used to believe that the dark cows made chocolate milk, the light cows made white milk, and the red ones made strawberry milk.

When I was little, on the weekend during the school year my dad and I were driving past a farm. He said, "Lauren, do you know how we get our chocolate milk?" And I replied "You take milk and add chocolate syrup." "No!" My Dad said. "You just milk a brown cow, and you get Chocolate milk!" Well, In first grade, when I went back to school for the week, the teacher asked us how to make chocolate milk. I told her to milk a brown cow!!!

When I was little and my mom was driving us to my grandpa's house, we would always pass a farm with cows. There were only brown cows. I used to believe that chocolate milk came from all the brown cows. So I would always ask to stop for some chocolate milk.

Ashlee

my grandfather always told me that white cows give milk, brown cows gave chocolate milk and black cows give ink. I was totally puzzled when I saw fields of brown and white or black and white cows. I never did figure out what they gave.
