No, no, no. 
I can see the copy now:
" If I'd only chugged milk instead of smoking all that dope, I wouldn't be
stuck with these misshapen choppers!"

Last October the Dairy council sponsored a walkathon in NYC for

window to see 200 women speed-walking down 56th street wearing adhesive
plastic milk moustaches.

Bunuelesque.
