Q: Why did the man go to the yogurt museum?
A: To get a little culture!
Explanation: While there is a dairy shrine in Wisconsin, and a Museum of Bulgarian Yoghurt in Bulgaria, but I couldn’t find a yogurt museum. If there was, I bet they would have tasty samples!
“Yogurt is a dairy product made with milk and fermenting cultures” (Medical News Today). Those cultures are bacteria that help the milk ferment and produce yogurt. Yogurt is often mixed with fruit (I think because it tastes sweeter, less acidic, that way), but often times eaten plain.
Culture refers to the beliefs, behavior, and creations of a group of people. Many people will go to a museum to learn about the culture of a group of people. That might include a history museum or an art museum.
This joke is funny because it plays with different meanings of the word culture: The bacteria that help make yogurt, and the collection of beliefs, behaviors, and creations of a group of people. By the way, humor and learning are both very cultural, so you are participating in culture right now!
