    Aubrey Plaza Faces Backlash After Commercial Mocks Plant-Based Milk

    Aubrey Plaza recently starred in a commercial that made fun of plant-based milk. Some viewers, however, were not pleased with the joke.

    In fact, as you can see below, otherwise beloved celebrity Aubrey Plaza is facing quite a bit of backlash over the plant-based milk parody. The commercial, which calls Plaza “the co-founder of Wood Milk, the world’s first and only milk made from wood,” is obviously meant to be taken lightly.

    As continued in the below monologue spoken by Plaza:

    “Wood Milk started with a simple idea. I saw a tree, and I asked myself, ‘Can I drink this?’ As it turns out, the answer is yes, if you make it into milk,” Plaza begins. “Here at Wood Milk Orchards, we grow our trees the old fashioned way: right out of the ground.”

    “And we’re certain our eco-friendly, our artisanal, free-range wood milk will be the only milk you’ll want to drink for the rest of your life. Why? Because you’re thirsty. And because you want it. Because you want that wood as your milk,” she adds.

    Shen then discusses “flavors like oak, cherry, maple, and of course, mahogany,” before adding, “If you can’t pick your favorite, that’s okay, because they all taste like wood.”

    “Now it’s time to enjoy the fruits of our efforts. Not fruits, wood,” she says before taking a drink, “Got wood?”

    Plaza then acknowledges that wood milk isn’t real before adding a final joke:

    “Is wood milk real? Absolutely not. Only real milk is real,” Plaza concludes, before asking, “Then what did I invest in?”

    Here are some of the posts that Twitter users left after being upset by Aubrey Plaza and her Wood Milk commercial:
