After a [Mint Mobile](https://www.mintmobile.com) [commercial](http://time.com/5515400/best-super-bowl-commercials-2019/) aired in which a family was shown enjoying a carton of “chunky-style milk,” some viewers took to social media to express their distaste for the prospect of lumps in their liquid dairy products. In the ad, one potential Mint Mobile customer just can’t seem to wrap his head around the idea of a $20-a-month wireless internet deal. “It’s actually the third ad in a series that we’re calling, ‘That’s Not Right,'” Aron North, senior vice president of marketing and creative for Mint Mobile, told TIME. “Our first spot was around [finger dipping](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLKep57BBK4), the second spot was around [carpeted showers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbqgfPYhn6Q) and the third one, obviously, chunky-style milk…We fully agree that chunky-style milk is not right. But it is a humorous way to bring to light the truth, which is a price so good and a product so good that it’s hard to understand and it’s hard to get your mind around it.” “Everyone involved in the chunky milk commercial should be burned alive,” one staunch opponent tweeted in response to the controversial spot. “Show me people drinking chunky milk and I’ll show you me not buying your product ever,” added another. > [](https://twitter.com/noradaexploraa/status/1092222646140485634) > [](https://twitter.com/BarstoolNate/status/1092221923487072257) But while the ad may have garnered a more visceral response from viewers than North says Mint Mobile expected, the company is standing by its tactics. “We expected a reaction. I think this strong of a reaction maybe not. But the Super Bowl is a place where I feel like creativity or pushing the envelope is recognized by the audience and you’ve got to do something to really help yourself stand out,” he explained. “If it took something as obtuse as chunky-style milk to wake everybody up, I would run it again.” See some other responses below. > [](https://twitter.com/latina%5FBTS/status/1092221924363489282) > [](https://twitter.com/SydnieBryce99/status/1092222178819563522) > [](https://twitter.com/MartySmithESPN/status/1092222058359083009) > [](https://twitter.com/ohkiku%5F/status/1092222037702004738) > [](https://twitter.com/KassyDillon/status/1092222052516261888) > [](https://twitter.com/BuffaloPartyCo/status/1092284657884893184) > [](https://twitter.com/bryvxle/status/1092233862078447616) > [](https://twitter.com/Sayhop/status/1092222168442851328) > [](https://twitter.com/spencerclw/status/1092223240167145473) ## Transcript [00:00] [ MUSIC ] [00:07] The world tell you to wait, that waiting is polite [00:12] and good things would just come but if I waited [00:16] to be invited in. I never would have stood out. Don't wait to [00:19] be given power because, [00:24] here is what they won't tell you, we already have it. [00:27] [ MUSIC ] [00:31] I'll take a coke. Is Pepsi okay?

I am at the mercy of a cruel [01:12] and uncaring. Cool, play Funkytown. I love video [01:17] games, my friends, my family, and again, video [01:21] games. It's his way of interacting with his friends when he [01:24] can't. Physically otherwise do it. It's difficult for me to use [01:29] both joysticks and the [ UNKNOWN ] at the exact same [01:33] time. What I like about the adaptive controller is that now [01:37] everyone can play. One of the biggest fears early on is, [01:42] how will Owen be viewed by the other kids? He is not [01:46] different when he plays. No matter how your body is or [01:50] how fast you are you can play, it's a really [01:55] good thing to have in this world. [ MUSIC ] [ NOISE ] [01:59] Ordering dog food. Ordering dog food. You can bark all [02:02] you want, I'm not paying for anymore dog food. [ NOISE ] [02:04] Ordering gravy. Orderings sausages .>> Hey, you [02:09] better cancel that order. [ SOUND ] I'm [02:14] not talking to you. [ MUSIC ] [ SOUND ] [ MUSIC ] And [02:15] people think I'm nuts. [ MUSIC ] Is there in clench time. I'm [02:37] a close talker. So I was excited about all new Colgate [02:40] Total. Now there's no such thing as too close. Yes, there is. [02:44] No, there's not. Yes, there is. No, there's not.
