Musical ‘Capone Milk’
Good results created by evil people, portrayed in a pleasant way
Mafia Al Capone created the milk refrigeration distribution and expiration date system? It’s true. In the mid-1800s, the milk production and distribution system in the United States was not developed, so many people died after drinking spoiled milk. This is because corrupt dairy farmers added lime powder to rotten milk to reduce the smell and sell it. During the Prohibition era, Al Capone established a modern milk distribution system by using his bootlegging distribution network to create a milk refrigeration distribution and expiration date system.
It is a creative premiere created by adding imagination to a true story, and features the real person Al Capone and the fictional character Milk White. Milk, a boy who milks milk at a rural ranch, moves to Chicago, USA. After losing money in one day, the place I went to eat with the remaining money was actually a moonshine store. Milk, who likes Al Capone, becomes his exclusive bartender… . It depicts the conflict between Al Capone, the world of darkness itself, and Pure Milk, and the process of establishing ‘Capone Milk’, a company that sells fresh milk, in a delightful way.
