This photo finished about where I expected. Not a big deal. Thank you to everyone who left the great comments. It is worth while to score sub-5 when I'm getting such great comments of people who "get it" the idea I conveyed.
Here are the outtakes.

What a mess... I understand what you did and it is ok. It also looks good in b/w but it's just very messy and the milk carton just makes it look there is garbage in the picture.
I know you had to prove the calcium point but if it ruins the picture I would rather leave it out and let the voters figure out for themselves that the cookies are soaked in milk.
Such a GREAT idea and funny! Was this really something that you were building to photograph and ended up in frustration, just photographing the aftermath or, wa this intended to be this way? Either way, it made me chuckle and like it!
