    How come whenever I hear of a photo of the week, it’s always someone named something either like Milk or Milx? Not a problem, just a weird coincidence.

      Week 1 was SeedOneTheWind

      Week 2 was BeardyGrumps

      Or do you mean POTW’s in general?

        When the “guy explaining” meme photo first got posted, I remember seeing “Congratulations to Milk for their photo of the week!” I had no idea who or what Milk was. (Turns out it’s the name of the club where the photo was taken). https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/milk-edinburgh-club-photo

        Edit: also turns out the post text was “Congratulations to Milk in Edinburgh on taking what I suspect may be the most relatable nightclub photo in the history of the art.”

      My name came from an old MMO-ish type web game where you could milk butterflies and when you did sometimes they said “Milx 4 u!”

      So, it’s probably not related to any other Milk-related usernames lol.
