What is the actual mustache in the "Got Milk?" ads made out of

Question

The mustache is very thick and white and i thought it was just computer animated....my buddy swears that the actors use sour cream to create the "milk" mustache....does anybody know?

Answer 1

Actually, I played at a soccer tournament years back sponsored originally by "Got Milk?", now sponsored by "Kick-it," but they had a booth where kids could pose with their teams and all have milk mustaches. It's simply a milkshake - more milky than ...shakey... not very thick, but very bubbly. Naturally, for the ad campaigns, I'm sure they would enhance the color and overall appearance using computers and slight make-up, but that is how they mix it. So there was very little ice cream involved, but lots of milk blended to make it extremely bubbly, a little thicker than one of those nutritional drinks. Tasted very good, though!

Answer 2

I heard it was a yogurt blend, as the milk would not remain that strong-looking under the hot lights

Answer 3

They use different things. I hear they use milkshake mostly though.

Answer 4

Google to the rescue:

So how did they get that mustache to stay there? At first, it was just milk, but that didn't give the right look. So they mixed milk and vanilla ice cream, and painted on the mustaches. That's why the lips are still covered with lipstick and lip gloss.

Answer 5

It is added by photo retouching. You are correct.

Answer 6

It ain't milk, unless it was sour, and I doubt the actor would try to drink that. Most likely, its make-up.
