Aubrey Plaza recently starred in a commercial that made fun of plant-based milk. Some viewers, however, were not pleased with the joke.
In fact, as you can see below, otherwise beloved celebrity Aubrey Plaza is facing quite a bit of backlash over the plant-based milk parody. The commercial, which calls Plaza “the co-founder of Wood Milk, the world’s first and only milk made from wood,” is obviously meant to be taken lightly.
As continued in the below monologue spoken by Plaza:
“Wood Milk started with a simple idea. I saw a tree, and I asked myself, ‘Can I drink this?’ As it turns out, the answer is yes, if you make it into milk,” Plaza begins. “Here at Wood Milk Orchards, we grow our trees the old fashioned way: right out of the ground.”
“And we’re certain our eco-friendly, our artisanal, free-range wood milk will be the only milk you’ll want to drink for the rest of your life. Why? Because you’re thirsty. And because you want it. Because you want that wood as your milk,” she adds.
Shen then discusses “flavors like oak, cherry, maple, and of course, mahogany,” before adding, “If you can’t pick your favorite, that’s okay, because they all taste like wood.”
“Now it’s time to enjoy the fruits of our efforts. Not fruits, wood,” she says before taking a drink, “Got wood?”
Plaza then acknowledges that wood milk isn’t real before adding a final joke:
“Is wood milk real? Absolutely not. Only real milk is real,” Plaza concludes, before asking, “Then what did I invest in?”
Here are some of the posts that Twitter users left after being upset by Aubrey Plaza and her Wood Milk commercial:
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves

Aubrey Plaza gets a lot of slack from me, but those dumb ads for “real” milk are trasssh.
— Coke Peach (@RickNashtag) May 5, 2023
Aubrey Plaza’s “got milk?” ad asserts that only “real” milk is from cows. It’s an odd argument for Big Dairy to stake its future on — humans have made milk from plants for centuries, and 2/3 of people have difficulty digesting lactose. That’s not all… https://t.co/h2UHCBLc8X

Real milk for humans are from human mammary glands. That’s the only “real milk.” Cow milk is just pain, suffering, and exploitation with minimal healthy ingredients and is viewed as similar to sugary beverages. Whoever Aubrey Plaza is, she can take a jump…

She’s even turned off the commenting on Instagram

There were also users that came to her defense:
This is literally scraping the bottom of the barrel for outrage. Imagine telling someone from the fifties the people in 2023 think milk is offensive. We have really run out of real problems.

We’ve been drinking cow milk since the dawn of man and cows. I’m all about protecting the animals but this is ridiculous

You guys are so over the top. She is a wonderful person. She’s made more people happy than you’ll ever meet in your life. So as far as positive energy in the world, she is winning, hard.
Quit being so GD angry all the time.— Jonathan Bingaman (@allMadeInTiawan) April 21, 2023
