In the United States, starting during the mid-1980's and continuing until about the Turn of the Millennium, there was a practice of putting the faces of children who had gone missing (and were presumably kidnapped or abducted) on a milk carton, in an attempt to get neighbors of the person who had abducted the child to notice and report them. If you're wondering why milk cartons in particular, cartons were actually used as a convenient platform to print out advertisements once they gained traction over traditional glass bottles in decades past. During the rise of missing child cases in the mid-80's, several independent dairies took it upon themselves to use to the space to promote missing child reports, and the practice very quickly caught on among other dairies in the country, soon becoming a nationalized program with support from the United States government. This practice has fallen out of use by the 2000's, in large part due to the United States since developing the Amber Alert system, where missing child announcements can be broadcast in mere minutes rather than the much more extended timeframe required for printing and distributing milk cartons. As a result, this has become a Discredited Trope, if not a Dead Horse Trope, outside of Period Pieces or parodies, but it's been collectively referenced to the point that while many people nowadays may not have actually seen an actual instance of this trope in their lifetime, they still recognize it. In comedy, adults can make an appearance on the carton. While the practice of printing missing persons on milk cartons has become superfluous, and milk cartons themselves have largely gone missing in favor of plastic jugs, many large stores still have a collection of "missing" posters displayed near the doors, where customers entering and exiting can see them, and some trucks and vans will have them on their back windows or somewhere on the trailer in the case of 18-wheelers. In the Internet age, in addition to the Amber alerts, the family of the missing child may post something on the internet. This can backfire, however: even if the child is found and the alert post is no longer relevant, it will still be circulated through email inboxes, blogs, and social media. And sometimes, well-meaning people pass them on, even if it turns out that they are misunderstandings, missing information, outdated, or outright hoaxes. May also be used to Lampshade a character's disappearance or have part in a Mythology Gag. Sub-Trope to Missing Child. For the book titled The Face on the Milk Carton, click here. |

Several The Far Side cartoons have parodied this: One featured a couple of urban giraffes having breakfast, with a photo on an extremely tall milk carton (to fit in the long neck). Another had pictures of locomotives (and the writing "Have you seen me?") on milk cartons; the comic caption was... "Runaway trains". Another strip featured a milk carton with a picture of a many-eyed alien, again with "Have you seen me?" written on it. |

Roundhouse did this for their episode-long parody of The Wizard of Oz. As Dorothy wonders how her parents are dealing with her disappearance, we are treated to an Imagine Spot of her dad finding her on a milk carton and not recognizing her. However, he's confident that Dorothy will come back because she has to sing The Eleven O'Clock Number in act 3 (as he says to the mom). | |

In The Simpsons, Uter's face was seen on the side of one after he was killed during a field trip. He later showed up alive again as a result of the show's Negative Continuity. Another episode had Milhouse's face on the carton before it was pasted over with a picture of Mr. Burns' bear Bobo. Shary Bobbins' episode has a musical number where she appears on a milk carton in the Kwik-E-Mart. |

MAD: It once joked (circa 2000) that Real Life Animal Wrongs Groups care more about the cow used to produce a carton of milk than the missing child on the side. And circa 1990 they had a strip where a woman thinks that the image of Colonel Sanders on a carton of KFC was a missing person image. |

The Rejection Collection, a collection of cartoons that were too offensive for The New Yorker, contains one cartoon with an unusual take on this. A scruffy-looking sort is shown looking over all the pictures on the various cartons in a grocery store, and saying to himself, "Need . . . Got . . . Need . . . Need . . . Got . . ." (And no, he probably wasn't collecting the cartons.) | |

Mystery Science Theater 3000: In the Pod People episode, one of the riffs was "Hey, what gives? I'm on the milk carton!" Before the second season on Comedy Central started, Josh Weinstein (Tom Servo / Dr. Erhardt) quit the show. Kevin Murphy replaced Weinstein as Servo's voice, and upon their first call from Deep 13, the gang were rather surprised to discover an unfamiliar face at the console... In the Halloween episode, Tom Servo put a small milk carton with a side cut out on his head, claiming he was "that kid on the milk carton." Joel also did this to him as an invention exchange in Godzillla vs. Megalon. |
