Milk is important for strong teeth and bones (like the commercials tell us), and it looks like Transformers characters are going to help sell milk, and milk will try to help sell Transformers brand to children when they drink it in the cafeteria. The New York Times reports that TRANSFORMERS brand characters will be lending their likenesses to milk cartons in a cafeterias near you.
And if that's not enough, THE NATIONAL CONVENIENCE STORE CONVENTION featured new products for taste testing. At the M&M's booth, there was an advertisement of a new M&M's flavor to be produced and sold to help promote TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN! The flavor is supposed to be strawberry/peanut butter, but apparently there were no samples of it, just an advertisement.
Looks like the hit that was the first Transformers movie, has spawned more cross promotional options for the second upcoming release. Expect more news on new promotions as the movie release gets closer.

Autobots can drink melamine. Human should not.
I'd probably buy them just for the sake of seeing a TF logo on the packaging.

Hmm... they could redye unsold stock with bot / con logos instead of the "m" printed on them and sell them as store exclusives. Yummy.

Sitting at Lunch, my friend comes over after buying, sits down, says: "What are we 5?!?! Transformers?"
It was normal milk, not chocolate/strawberry. Was blue and purple instead of the usuual yellow and white package.
It has Bulkhead on the side, I took a pic w/my phone.
Will post a.s.a.p.

So you use the cellphone "illegally"? The picture may be "illegal" too.
I haven't seen the goodies yet. I'm looking around grocery stores to see if i can find them.
