Melon Milk: Justin & Nana Drink Weird Stuff for Your Entertainment
They're big on flavored milk here in Asia. Besides the classic chocolate milk and the not-too-out-there caramel milk, you can also find fruit milks flavored with apple, peach, and even melon.

No doubt about it: the container is prominently marked with the katakana for melon. However, we weren't 100% certain this would be melon milk rather than melon yogurt, as the bottle was right on the border between the milk and yogurt sections.
It was milk, after all.
Not bad, in fact. A bit rich for an actual drink, as I can't imagine it going well with any food (except, maybe, melon), but it made a pretty good snack.

It has always seemed to me that the idea of sweetening milk goes hand-in-hand with an aversion to cheese. Stepping back from the sour/bitter noted of cheese toward the sweet flavors of fruit and chocolate. For me, it's good either way.
