Bigger question, as melty as they are, who would bring Milk Duds to a hot, sandy beach. It would become a congealed, gritty, sticky lump in about ten minutes.
For those who were wondering yesterday what the name of my cat is, her name is Jackie, because she is really thin and looks like a jackal! Even though that’s a member of the canine family. She is actually really nice and has only scratched me once! On the comic note,I have also wondered this. I don’t really like Milk Duds, but it seems like a very odd name. There is probably some family members or something behind the name
Per Wikipedia…According to the manufacturer, the word “Milk” in the name refers to the large amount of milk in the product; the use of “dud” came about because the original aim of having a perfectly spherical piece was found to be impossible. Milk Duds were first created in 1926.1…In 1926 Hoffman and Company, Chicago, tried to manufacture a perfectly round, chocolate-covered caramel candy, but when its machines produce confections that are less than round, an employee called them “duds”.

Milk Duds, with their self-deprecating name and remarkably mild flavor are the most apologetic of the boxed candies

“Duds” because the candy machine couldn’t make them properly spherical.

Both this strip and this comment section are reminding me of that lame roast that AlexCarey602 did a while back.

They were called Milk Duds because they were originally the rejects from Malted Milk Balls; at least that is what my older sister told me.
