In a recent freddiew video, Freddie and Brandon introduced a superhero who vomits milk tothwart his enemies, and as a means of transportation. This is disgusting. So naturally, I immediatelywondered how much milk you'd actually have to drink (and expel) in order to hover likeMilkman. Turns out, it's a lot!Using basic rocket science, you can calculate that an average person will need to vomitaround 5 gallons of milk each second in order to hover! You know those videos of water jetpacks?Replace that water with milk coming out of your mouth, and you get the rough idea.So either MilkMan would have to be carrying a LOT more milk around with him, or else hemust use special milk that's super-dense - like, mercury milk, or molten-lead milk.Either way, ...
