I know Yonsei U has its own brand of milk, as does Konguk. There are probably a few others.
Do parents think that if their kids drink Yonsei milk they'll hopefully grow smart enough to attend one of this country's most prestigious schools?
I'm wrestling with my opinion over whether universities marketing milk is ridiculous or ingenious. Maybe if Harvard started selling milk they'd make a killing. Or maybe they'd be the laughing stock of the Ivy League.
Inquiring minds.

Yep. You can market any 'tonic' in this country. I won't say Koreans are easily duped (well....maybe I will...) but there are so many foods and drinks with mystical attributes in this country that I think the market could support one more.
Try Harvard Milk for the 'learning' market and Tiger Testicle Milk for the 'stamina' market. All you have to do is take cows milk and add sugar and caffeine. |

| Someone should start on a thread called "Why do Koreans believe in magic?". I would myself but I'm too knackered. |

I like Konkuk Dairy's marketing slogan:
"Milk is the best gift from God and food of perfection!" 
I'd really love to watch public reaction to that ad campaign in the Blue States!
[According to Konkuk Dairy's CEO]
That is why mankind cannot live without Milk and is the most important nutrition for children as well as calcium-supply for preventing from osteoporosis for elders. [Turn up your hearing aid, Granny -- he's talking to YOU!)
Since KonKuk University had established milk processing facilities and provided milk to led Dairy Farm in Korea and improve citizens' health , with the help of KonKuk family we have been developed in both quantity and quality. And now we can produce everyday not only general milk but also various kinds like "Dr. You milk", "Drinking Yogurt" etc.
Yonsei and Konkuk both have long-established dairy science departments, and the commercial dairies sprung from there and are still affiliated with the universities. It's not just a brand gimmick, in other words.
If a Korean dairy were to market something called "Harvard Milk", that would be a gimmicky attempt to play on Koreans' unbridled zeal for Yankee higher education. I'd expect the American university of that name to scream 'bloody murder!', but I don't think Korean consumers themselves would make much of a fuss. Yet, were an American dairy with official ties to the real Harvard to market the same-named product here, I could see quite a few of the locals raising a noisy din about that.
What I think are genuinely hi-larious, however, are these:
Einstein Milk
Academy (hagwon?) Milk
Campus Milk
... and the official milk of Dave's ESL Cafe, ESL Milk (!) (extended shelf-life...  ) |

If I want whole milk what do I look for?
I don't want caffeine or anything else in my milk.
I know If I was telling a foreigner in the US how to buy whole milk I would tell them to look for Homo or Homogenized which would not be obvious because skim and 2% are also homoginized.

This is a bad development ... it's just going to aggravate the obesity epidemic and other diet-related health problems that were previously mostly confined to the West but are increasing in many other locations too.

The University of Wisconsin (Madison) has its own dairy store that operates in conjunction with the department of dairy science. Great ice cream!

| In 1891, a year after announcing his now-famous butterfat test, Dr. Stephen Babcock offered instruction at the University of Wisconsin in performing the test and applying the results. Thus began the first dairy school in America. Babcock Hall opened in 1950 and houses the present dairy plant. The plant's mission is to do research, provide instruction, and perform public service. Unlike most industrial dairy plants, the Babcock Hall plant produces a variety of products. This allows students, researchers, and industry personnel to study and utilize several dairy processes in one facility. The plant is required to generate one hundred percent of its operating costs from the sale of dairy products on campus. |

Just the farmland owned by the University of Wisconsin ag departments is larger than all Korean university campuses put together. And the ice cream from the UW Babcock dairy is incredible, but it will make your ass fatter than the cows that produce the milk for it.
The Korean dairy industry is a joke and the milk is laced with high amounts antibiotics from sick cows that do not ever set a hoof outside of the milking parlor. The cows literally do not see the light of day. Not very healthy beasts to get your milk from. The schoolboys at Konkuk University couldn't figure out how to get milk from a teat unless it was breast fed to them from their mommy. |

Kansas State University has a dairy and a place to get ice cream also. If you eat in the dorms all the milk and ice cream comes from the university.
Because it is near Junction City there is a relatively large number of people of Korean decent.
