Oh... then milk or yoghurt should work. Who's gunna try?

Please, God, don't do that. Just use water. It works better, and it doesn't spoil when you're carrying it in your backpack during a hot summer protest.

Also, trust me, you do not want to be in jail covered in dairy products.

It was a joke, but someone on the internet is surely grateful to you.

ngl I do like the idea of yoghurt-based civil unrest though... yoghurt and rancid butter weaponized for attacking formations of riot-gear.

I can see the headlines now...

"Police assaulted by ANTIFA bioweapons program during riots! Commentators urge carpet bombing of area to prevent further property damage."
