US Brand Announce Breast Milk Ice Cream; Netizens Ask "Why?" (Instagram image @fridamom)
A baby brand in United States has announced that it is planning to launch a breast-milk flavoured ice cream. The announcement was made by Frida, a popular baby brand in the US, to celebrate the release of its 2-in-1 manual breast pump. Interestingly, akin to an actual pregnancy, those who want to taste the breast milk ice cream will have to wait nine months from the date of announcement made by brand.
Frida wanted to answer the question that “everyone’s secretly wondered”: What does breast milk actually taste like?
While it might be assumed that the ice cream will be made from real breast milk, that is not how it works. Since actual breast milk is not approved by food regulators in the US, the brand says the ice cream will closely mimic the “goodness” of breast milk. The dessert will contain several nutrients and may taste sweet and nutty with a hint of salt.
Urging customers to pre-order the ice cream on their website, the company said, “The ice cream will be a pitch perfect representation of the sweet, creamy, nutrient packed goodness we’ve all wanted to try but have been afraid to ask and will include some of its same nutrients including fats (Omega-3 brain fuel!), carbs (energy-boosting lactose), important vitamins (iron, calcium, Vitamin B and D, and zinc), plus lots of H2O for hydration”. Frida is expecting a “strong demand” for the product.

Netizens appeared amused at the announcement, and some are eager to answer “no thanks” in different way. . Some commented that it might be an April fool prank from Frida in advance. “I feel like this was supposed to be announced on April fools day”, wrote one user. Another one pointed out, “I mean why is this so shocking when ice cream is literally made from a cow’s breast milk?”. Another user wrote, “I’m going to judge anyone that I see buys this”.
“I think I might throw up”, wrote one user. While one asked “Is this necessary?”, another one asked, “WHY?! Just why??”. Another user asked “If It’s ‘Flavored’ Like Breast Milk……….Who’s The Test Group Confirming This Flavor… sum up the only curiosity we have about this ‘flavour’.
