A small potato in the south shared the scene of needing a straw when buying bagged milk in the Northeast, which sparked heated discussions among netizens in the north and south. This seemingly small difference has caused a deep reflection on milk culture among netizens in the north and south.
Nanfang Golden Beans bought milk in a store and asked the boss for a straw, the boss said no, Nanfang Golden Beans thought that the boss refused to give it, and changed another store to continue to buy, but there was still no straw. Only then did I know that milk is drunk without a straw in the north.
In the video, Southern Little Potato is surprised to find that the Northeast bagged milk not only has a difference in packaging, but also requires a straw. This aroused the curiosity of netizens in the north and south, southerners thought that the sister-in-law in the northeast was unwilling to give straws, while northerners said that they had always drunk bagged milk directly with their mouths. This difference in detail has become the talk of many people after dinner.
"Even if the frozen pears are on the plate, why do you need a straw to drink milk?" a netizen from the north joked.
As the controversy between netizens in the north and the south escalated, the focus of the incident gradually expanded. Not only did some netizens express surprise at the similarities and differences in milk culture, but some people also began to discuss other differences in food culture between the north and the south, such as slicing fruits, drinking roasted sweet potatoes with spoons, etc. Southerners have posted photos of special straws for bagged milk in the south, claiming that in the south, straws are the standard configuration of bagged milk. Northern netizens used various primitive methods to solve the problem of drinking milk, which caused more onlookers and discussions.
