What do cows drink?

Post Reply New Topic

I first thought water. Then I thought, "what a stupid question" . I've done a lot of work with cows which made me think maybe (since most people haven't worked worked with cows) they guess milk. *shrug*

The word "cow" tastes of chocolate milk.

But my first thought after the taste was "water".

Nice what?

It's a dog-eat-dog world.

You bumped a three year old thread.

I knew the answer was water but I chose milk. Because they do drink it as babies! So milk is correct too! :p

When I was in school, this joke would come up a lot, but with a prior addition. It would typically go like this:

You'd ask your 'victim'
"What colour is a refrigerator?"
And they'd answer 'white'.
"What colour is a washing machine?"
And they'd again answer 'white'.
"What colour is a clothes dryer?"
And they'd once more answer 'white'.

THEN, you would switch to the question "What does a cow drink?"
And because their mind was still focused on the colour white, they'd be inclined to think of a white beverage, and answer milk.

Like others mentioned before, it's quite a fascinating experiment of association.

LonelyJar often bumps older threads. It's kind of his schtick.
Sometimes the threads he brings back are kind of neat to revisit, and then other times the thread happens to have a post by jawbrodt in it, and I get sad.

Who's jawbrodt?

I thought that they drank "black cows".

Cows drink water they merely make milk same as many other female mammal who makes milk due to mammary glands!

I'm not sure, but he may be one of the site members who has committed suicide, so digging up old threads (necro) and exposing such posts can be upsetting for people who knew him.

I think they get all the water they need from the grass they eat.

I immediately wondered why the question was being asked, and then I realized that it was meant to be a trick question causing people to incorrectly answer 'milk'. I didn't actually answer the question until that point (which was about 5 seconds after reading) but I already knew what the point of the question was. I initially decided it was more accurate to say water, but it's technically both because obviously calves drink milk.
