What on earth does this mean? (turn to powder)

Hi,

Headlines in a newspaper need to do two things: say something very briefly and also attract your attention. The trouble is they can be confusing and difficult to understand. What on earth does this mean?

MILK DRINKERS ARE TURNING TO POWDER

Alan

Hi Alan

I’d suppose something like increased mass consumption of dried milk :slight_smile:

Hi Tamara,

Yes, absolutely. The problem could be that someone might think it means: people are becoming powder!

:slight_smile:
Ahhhh…
That’s funny, indeed.

(As I’m not advanced in English (and will never become native :)), I can only catch the first direct meaning, as yet.)

:lol: :lol:

Hi!

Although my wife turned to powder, she is rather alive. :wink: So it doesn?t matter to turn to powder,does it?

Hope my wife will live as long as she will achieve a biblcal age. :wink:

Nice Headline
