    Apparently, this is a joke about Carnation’s slogan. From Wikipedia:

    In 1907, the promotional phrase “Carnation Condensed Milk, the milk from contented cows” was introduced.

        I got the reference by going to the “Disqus comments” link. Sometimes, some of the comments say something that is like a hint. Like, this time several comments mentioned “Carnation milk,” so I looked it up on Wikipedia.

        The Disqus comments are a strange place. I think if you imagine that all of the people there are making boomer jokes, then you’ll get the right idea, but I’ve never seen a comment there that actually plainly explained the joke.
