Musahino milk
Musashino Milk (ムサシノ牛乳?) is a milk brand that was originally introduced in the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun anime adaptation[1] and is later popularly used in the second Toaru Majutsu no Index anime adaptation.[2]
Principles
Not much is known about the brand, however, several female characters seem to enjoy the drink in both franchises. Most infamously, it is often associated with female character with large breasts.
The tagline of the product is: "When it comes to milk. It's gotta be Musashino!"[3]

The final episode of that arc during the epilogue shows Shirai Kuroko sipping the milk.[3]

The milk is shown for the first time to replace coffee milk as Tsukuyomi Komoe's preferred drink after bathing in a bathhouse. Here, several characters, usually after a bath, drink the product. The product is then shown having been drink later in several quantities by Mii during episode 21 of the anime, after working all night.[4] During the penultimate episode of the anime during the Poltergeist Arc, the milk is once again featured again, as Mii forces Misaka Mikoto and company and drink and eat up before going to the final battle with Therestina Kihara Lifeline.[5]

In the second special, Kiyama Harumi, Saten Ruiko, Shirai Kuroko, Misaka Mikoto, Uiharu Kazari, and Konori Mii, all indulge in the milk in an attempt to get larger breasts, whilst staring at the sunset. At the same time as this, loud and incredibly inappropriate burping sounds play.[7]
Trivia
- The name of the milk is likely derived from Musashino City where J.C.Staff is located.
