Brigham Young University is opening an on-campus bar later this year — a milk-and-cookie bar.
Because, of course, BYU is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which teaches its members to abstain from drinking alcohol. Milk and cookies are OK, however. And, once the new on-campus facility is completed, milk and cookies will be actively encouraged.
And not just plain ol' milk. Or even plain ol' chocolate milk. BYU is promising a variety of flavors — including mint brownie, cookies-and-cream, root beer and an array of fruit flavors. “Imagine a freestyle soft drink machine but with BYU milk and flavor mix-ins,” according to a release.
