Did you know that milk changes colors??? No no I don’t mean when it gets spoiled...unless we’re spoiling it with some science. But then again spoiling it with science isn’t such a bad thing now is it? If you’re a bit confused, don’t worry we’ve got you covered. Click the link to play with some milk and make some milk-a-delic colors. Ready to wow?! Lets go!
