10 Fascinating WWE Backstage Facts About The Rock
5. Kurt Angle Once Accidentally Made Him Drink Sour Milk
While on the subject of beer!
'Stone Cold' Steve Austin celebrated his victories with a beverage on TV, as did ECW's The Sandman. However, the Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle, was given another drink to down during his time at the top.
Kurt Angle's obsession with drinking milk was a hilarious way to bring his character out, selling him as a goofy health freak who could back it up in the ring. He often shared the dairy product with his on-screen partners. Sadly, The Rock got the short end of the (Nesquik) straw with that one, as that milk wasn't always ripe.
True story!!!! After our match, I offered @therock a carton of milk as a friendly gesture but neither did The Rock nor I knew the milk was sitting in a hot room for days! It was sour as F#CK and the milk curdled into a cottage cheese texture. As you can see The Rock spit it out! pic.twitter.com/OK5gYnFrwQ

During one of the infamous milk-drinking segments, Angle passed Johnson a small carton of the stuff, which they both chugged down. However, he was unaware that the milk had gone off, leading to him and The Rock drinking what Angle described as milk with a "cottage cheese texture." Credit to them for not showing their disgust on camera.
To make all of this even worse, Angle has openly admitted before that he actually hates milk. So no one was happy to be drinking the stuff in this segment.
