About
First published on http://vtsfinest.com in fall of 2003, "Milk and Cereal" features two Virginia Tech students named Matt Feidler and Dan Loveless lip synching to the song "Milk and Cereal" by the band G. Love & Special Sauce. Both students use spoons in place of microphones and use a box of Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and a gallon jug of milk as props.
For the sake of memetic clarity, it is important to note here that although the source material is a song from a well-known group (on MTV since 1994), the meme consists of the common manner in which the videos were produced.
- Typically two people are present.
- They lip dub.
- Props are used.
- Typically shot using only a webcam (with exceptions)
