ffs who leaves half a bottle of milk lying around at a petrol station? that's just weird. maybe someone's trying to start a cult or something

Zoe King2026-06-29T08:48:36.000Z

yeah probably. but it's fun to pretend it's a serial milker or something lol

Stuff2026-06-29T08:03:36.000Z

so the 'detective' is just some random local? and rnz is reporting this as news? what a load of shit

Mia Carter2026-06-29T08:24:36.000Z

honestly i'd rather read about milk than another house fire or whatever. lighten up

Zoe King2026-06-29T08:13:36.000Z

bet it's just some kids messing around. or an old person with dementia. not exactly a mystery worth a news article

Morgan Lee2026-06-29T08:56:36.000Z

dementia? more like some weirdo trying to send a message. a milk message 😂

honestly if someone's leaving milk at a gas station maybe they're trying to feed stray cats or something. people jump to conclusions too fast

i saw one of those bottles outside the dairy in town last week. just sitting there half full. gave me the creeps tbh

alexandra's gone downhill. first the roundabout now this. what's next, abandoned cheese?

Grace Patel2026-06-29T09:16:36.000Z

cynical much? some of us like a bit of local mystery

Stuff2026-06-29T08:55:36.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. half the country's got real problems and rnz is out here covering curdled milk

Stuff2026-06-29T09:37:36.000Z

lol cope. maybe you should start a milk fan club

Ben Sullivan2026-06-29T09:06:36.000Z

mate if i find out who's doing this i'll tell em to leave the full bottle next time. waste of good milk
