And now it's time for who's smarted.

P. P. Hey there, Smarty Pants, you caught me as I was about to enjoy one of life's simplest pleasures,

a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies, and next to it, a tall glass of what is truly the most perfect drink for cookie dunking.

Say it with me on three.

One, two, three, pickle juice.

Wait, what?

Did you say something else?

Of course you did, smarty pants.

You said a nice glass of good old milk.

Mm-mm delicious.

Smarty pants, did you know there's a scientific reason why milk in cookies taste so good?

Believe it or not, chemicals in the milk interact with your tongue,

making chocolate chips smoother and greamier and oh so yummy.

Oh yeah that's the stuff.

Now as you may know from our who smarted episode on cookies these treats aren't exactly

nutritious but milk has always been essential to human health

smarty pants can you guess why milk is so important?

Is it because A, it helps make bones and teeth stronger?

B, it contains a ton of nutrients.

Or C, it's high in protein, which helps build muscles and repair cells?

The answer is, all three.

Milk basically has everything your body needs, and that's why babies depend on it.
