An Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan has made a startling discovery about the potential source of the game's milk, posing some hilarious questions that shed light on the darker side of the otherwise family-friendly social simulation game. Despite its colorful and adorable aesthetic, it seems that not everything in the game is as innocent as it seems. Animal Crossing: New Horizons, released in 2020 for the Nintendo Switch, is the fifth installment in the popular social simulation franchise. The game follows players as they move to a deserted island and make friends with anthropomorphic animal characters while customizing the island to their liking. Fans have created unique and inventive locations in the game, including a Breaking Bad fan who recreated Walter White's lab in the game.
Redditor Jen_soup raised an unsettling question in a recent post to r/AnimalCrossing, asking how cow villagers in the game produce milk. The post features a screenshot of two villagers standing beside a carton of in-game milk and highlights the uncomfortable implications of the quartet of bovine residents on the game's island setting. Other Redditors responding to the post pointed out other strange inconsistencies in the game, such as the ability to catch frogs despite the presence of frog villagers. One response suggested that cow villagers likely need jobs to pay off their homes, leading another Redditor to joke about the origins of Animal Crossing: New Horizons' pigeon milk.
Players may want to avoid delving too deeply into the mysterious origins of the milk found in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, much like other strange events that occur on the game's island setting. Considering the milk's indefinite and potentially unsettling source, it is unlikely that the game's milk carton will become a Hallmark ornament for Animal Crossing any time soon. The game is currently available for Nintendo Switch.
