A fan of Nintendo’s popular social simulation game,Animal Crossing: New Horizons, has shared their horrifying realization about the potential source of origin for the game’s milk. In a game typically praised for its family-friendly fun, the hilarious questions raised by this player show that not everything inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsis adorabledespite the game’s colorful aesthetic.
Released for the Nintendo Switch in 2020,Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis the fifth entry in the popular social simulation franchise. The series’ latest outing sees players moving to a deserted island that they can grow and change to their liking, all the while making friends with the many anthropomorphic animal inhabitants who move there throughout the game. Players are given the freedom to customize nearly every aspect of the island as they see fit, which has led to some truly unique creations over the years ranging from holiday-themed locales to theBreaking Badfan who recreatedWalter White’s lab inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons.

A new picture shared to r/AnimalCrossing by Redditor Jen_soup posed a horrifying question to fans of Nintendo’s typically cute and cuddly social simulation game, asking “If cow villagers exist how did they get the milk?” Shared in a post bearing the hilarious title, “Maybe I shouldn’t look into this,” the uncomfortable question is accompanied by a screenshot of two villagers standing next to a carton of in-game milk. Given the fact that a quartet of bovine residents callsAnimal Crossing: New Horizons’island setting home, the otherwise innocuous screenshot suddenly takes on some deeply uncomfortable undertones.
Redditors responding to the horrifying implications posed by the picture highlighted other strange inconsistencies aboutAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. One player pointed out that you may catch frogs in the game despite the island being home to frog villagers although, in that case, the game shows a dialogue box that jokes that you might have to apologize to a potential new neighbor. One response suggested that cow villagers need work, too, leading another Redditor to jokingly ask “How do you think they paid off their home.” Given Jen_soup’s newfound discomfort with the game’s dairy offerings, one popular response noted that they’d probably hate learning about the origins ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons’ pigeon milk.
Like many of the somewhat strange occurrences that take place on the game’s island setting, perhaps it’s best that players don’t put too much thought into the origins of the milk inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. And given its indeterminate and potentially horrifying source, players probably won’t see the game’s milk carton show up as one ofHallmark’sAnimal Crossingornamentsany time soon.
