“Return of the Milkman” (children’s spot)
Category:National campaign without a mustache
Collections:Ads without mustaches
Type:Television commercial
Notes
Shot like an old black-and-white science-fiction film: a milk truck crashes, and years later a mummy-like milkman rises, raids a supermarket for two bottles of milk and asks the manager “Do you give free refills?”. Written by Matthew Anderson, aged nine.
Made for: the children’s got milk? campaign paid for by Dairy Management Inc. (Got Milk? The Book (1999), pp. 159–167).
Got Milk? The Book (1999) describes it without a date beside “Lost Milk of Arabia” (January 1998) (pp. 166–167). The year is the uploader’s (“Got Milk Ad- Return of the Milk Man (1999)”).
Video found in the site’s catalogue of public copies of the got milk? commercials (October 16, 2026).
