Where does the “I Drink Your Milkshake!” meme come from?
The line comes from Paul Thomas Anderson's film There Will Be Blood, released widely in the US on January 25, 2008. It is spoken by Daniel Day-Lewis as Daniel Plainview during the final confrontation with Eli Sunday. Plainview reveals he exploited oil under his rival's land via a neighboring parcel. The milkshake represents the oil; drinking it means draining all available economic value.
