So i was just wondering why they stopped showing missing kids on milk cartons. Instead they just send those flyer cards with the postal junk mail.

Can't remember the last time I bought a carton of milk, I usually get the gallon. Maybe because not enough people buy the carton to see the picture?

EDIT: Also, there are probably so many missing kids nowadays that they can't get all of them on the cartons even if they put a different once on each carton.

I throw those out, along with the junk mail. . . I'm a bad person.

Crap. I was gonna say that.

But you were probably going to actually spell out "why," as well as capitalize "I," put a comma after "all," and an apostrophy for "that's," correct? ;)

Well don't be fooled... ever seen Jones's soda labels? Some of them have kids and other people pictured. Do you know where those people are? No? Guess what... then they're missing!

So, if a midget is missing, do they put a pic on the back of a carton of half and half?


Ancient joke, FTW! :D
