Aubrey Plaza stars as co-founder of fictional beverage company Wood Milk in Got Milk’s hilarious new promotional campaign
Aubrey Plaza starred in a video for Got Milk’s new spoof campaign that was released on her Instagram account on Thursday.
In the clip, the 38-year-old comedian promoted items from the fictional company Wood Milk, which she described as “definitely not” real.
The star of The White Lotus, who recently joined one of her old costars in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was also featured in several promotional shots for the campaign, showing off the merchandise.
Plaza began the video, which was shot in a heavily wooded area, by staring at a tree and asking, “Have you ever looked at a tree and thought, ‘Can I drink this?'”
The actress, who is a co-founder of the fake company, then introduced Wood Milk and spoke about the high quality of the fictional product.

‘Here at Wood Milk Orchards, we are confident that our artisan Wood Milk will be the only milk you will want to drink for the rest of your life. Why? Because I said so,” she explained.
The artist described Wood Milk as “bottled right here in the woods where the trees touch the dirt, locking in the flavors like cherry, maple and natural mahogany.”
She added, “If you can’t pick your favorite, that’s okay because they all taste like wood.”
Plaza then showed viewers how Wood Milk was made physical, showing a piece of bark being “squashed into a slime that can be legally sold.”
The Parks and Recreation actress then posed a question to her viewers: “Do you have wood?”
The actress closed the clip by saying that Wood Milk was a completely fictional product.
She said, “Is Wood Milk real?” Absolutely not. Only real milk is real. So what have I invested in?’
Plaza was also seen wearing a shirt with the obvious Wood Milk slogan in one of the promo photos.

A press release was also published for the promotional campaign, in which the frivolity of the fictional product was discussed.
Wood Milk’s fresh new campaign is designed to inspire the next generation of milk drinkers and wood enthusiasts with a drink made from trees that tastes nothing like milk and has no nutritional value whatsoever.
According to the release, Wood Milk is formulated with the utmost concern for environmental regulations.
The product is said to come from ‘biodiverse, environmentally friendly, artisanal, free-range forests. Using a state-of-the-art “Wood Milking” process, Wood Milk is made fresh from a unique blend of trunks, roots and branches.’
