About

I Used To Have This Plushie That I Used To Pour Milk On And Suck The Milk Back Out is a copypasta and phrasal template meme regaling a story about pouring milk on a pillow or stuffed animal and sucking the milk back out, then slamming the sopping wet plush against walls to hear the loud thudding noise. The story was first posted to Twitter in February 2021 about a Webkinz doll and became a copypasta over the following months. Meme creators then used the snowclone "I Used To Have This X That I Used To Pour Milk On" by replacing the "plushie" in the original with various items in a similar manner.
