Ad text

I drink skim milk because it has all the nutrients of whole milk without the fat. Anyway, if I want fat, I can always eat the lunch special in the cafeteria.

Notes

Milk mustache ad of a University of Nebraska student from the campaign’s 1998 college tour, printed in the campus newspaper. The credit line reads “Shiela Tarnick, University of Nebraska ©1998 National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board”. Campus papers of the time say one student per campus was to get an ad like this, so more of them should exist.

Campus student ads are also known from 1997: the Kansas State Collegian (September 9, 1997) and the UCLA Daily Bruin (April 23, 1997) each ran a student’s milk mustache portrait with the lines “I drink three cold ones a day, of milk that is.” They have their own entry here.
