Mad Milk is a secondary weapon for the Scout and was released as part of the The Special Delivery set. It appears as a nondescript bottle of "milk" with no cap. The liquid inside sloshes with movement.
Unlike the other drinks available to the Scout, Mad Milk functions similarly to Jarate and can be thrown at enemies as a projectile. Victims will continually drip white beads of substance and be notified by a corresponding white droplet on the HUD, next to their health meter. It is possible for a player to throw a "critical" Mad Milk, but the effect is purely cosmetic.
When a target is covered in Mad Milk, 75% of all damage taken will be returned as health to any attacker, with the only exception being damage done by an Engineer’s Sentry Gun. A phasing player under the effects of Bonk! Atomic Punch who is also covered in Mad Milk will still provide health upon being hit. The healing provided by Mad Milk will not overheal a player.
Mad Milk has the additional benefits of extinguishing teammates on fire and shorting out the Spy’s various Cloaking devices. Aside from dying, the only ways to remove the effects of Mad Milk are by visiting a Resupply Locker or being submerged in water.

Note: The second blueprint simply makes a Scout's secondary weapon; there is still a chance of getting Bonk! Atomic Punch or Crit-a-Cola instead. There will be approximately a 33.33% chance of crafting this item using the second blueprint.

Trivia
- Following the trend of highly dangerous drinks such as Bonk! Atomic Punch and Crit-a-Cola, the Mad Milk supposedly came from cows infused with "sweet, wholesome thermonuclear radiation".
- Throwing Mad Milk on someone who is already under the effects of Jarate will cancel out the visual effect of the Jarate but keeps the debuff effects of both. The case is the same vice versa.
- The weapon's development name was Mann Milk, a reference to Mann Co. [1].
- Mad Milk was originally a reskin for Bonk! Atomic Punch and was planned to be used as a lunchbox item in-game, hence the description revolving around taste on Spetch's Special Delivery poster.
