MilkQuest Excellent app for mapping out the price disparity of a half-gallon of milk at the 18 bodegas in your neighborhood.

This could be a hit, like Huey Lewis's "Heart of Rock 'n'roll," so please do all the big cities!

All these apps give you information, but nothing you can DO about these things? I want an app that will paralyse a larynx. I'm sure with the proper adapter an iPhone could emit a certain wavelength radiation that would cause temporary loss of ability to yell.

I live in Utah and we don't have any foreign people; what is a "bodega"?

Is that like Mr. Freely's corner market, where I buy my Archie's comix? And where Ms. Freely sneaks me yummy butterscotch hard candies?

New York sounds scary, like a communist or a pool table.

A half-gallon of milk is HOW MUCH? OMG. I've been gone from the US for too long. I won't be complaining about the price of milk in Taiwan anymore.

I'm surprised you didn't name MilkQuest something more catchy, like "Milky Way" or "Get Milk?"
