Milky The Marvelous Milking Cow

[RSS]

Truly one of the more ***? toys of the 1970s, Milky was based on the assumption that children would want to play with a cow's teets endlessly. You see, Milky drinks water and then you're encouraged to milk her. That's it, that's all! Theres a tarp so you don't make a mess.

Is anybody else more than a little creeped out by this toy? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that 1977 was probably a busy year at Kenner, they had Six Million Dollar Man money and their latest license, Star Wars was exploding at the box office and the demand for product was insane. Somehow Milky just slipped by, either that or it was the result of martini lunch dare.

someone actually made that?

this is on a tape of some commercials I have and it is definitely an oddity.
***?? is an understatement

maybe they were pitching to the ffa? I am willing to bet there are quite a few MIB taking up some landfill space. What a time capsule that will be for future archaeologists.

If you think that is weird, they also made a Goat. Gobbles the Garbage Eating Goat. He ate "garbage" when you pumped his tail, seriously.

Perhaps it was ment to go with Steve Scout so he could earn his 4H badge

Sadly,I remember this. Mind you,it's not as bad as the pooping jelly bean dispensers.

Holy crap, I completely forgot about both the cow and the goat. I didn't think much about Milky at the time, but now as an adult, I just think "What were they smoking??"

maybe they were just preparing kids for the real world

[neogelion]

I honestly wanted one of these as a kid. They were always laying out opened on the shelves at the local Zayres.

"pretend milk" ?

There isn't any kid in the world that isn't gunna try drinking it.

A friend of mine lived next to a dairy farmer in the 80s, when he found out I bought old toys he called me over and showed me two MIB Milkys he had been given as a gift. I told him all about Goodwill...
