Michael Scott is one of The Office's most unique characters due to his complexity. On the surface, Michael is goofy and naive but once viewers get to know Michael, it's clear something else is brewing within. There's a reason why Michael has been a regional manager for over a decade and that his branch is one of the most successful in the company.
Aside from his business life, Michael's personal quirks are just as fascinating. Due to his self-proclaimed "soft teeth," he dips his steak in wine, eats family-sized chicken pot pies, and plays with mayonnaise and black olives. As odd as his eating habits are, his beverage choices are just as strange.
The "One Of Everything"
In season five's "Moroccan Christmas," Michael tries to get the party started by acting as the bartender. While talking to Meredith, he gives her what he calls "one of everything."
It contained equal parts of every major liquor, triple sec (a bar syrup), and even more sugar with two packs of Splenda. As disgusting as this sounds, Meredith tossed the drink back and fell in love with it. Michael looked so proud. It makes you wonder where else he made this drink.
Scotch & Splenda
There were two occasions where Michael told the world that he preferred his scotch with a packet of Splenda. In the episode "Cocktails," Michael and Jan attended a cocktail party at David Wallace's house. In one scene, David had a small group of colleagues in his office drinking 20-year-old scotch.
But as Michael took a sip, he began coughing uncontrollably before asking for a packet of Splenda to make it go down easier. In another episode, Michael quit Dunder Mifflin and gave his two-week notice. With nothing to do, he walked around the office sipping scotch and Splenda because it "tastes like Splenda, gets you drunk like scotch."
Milk & Sugar
One of The Office's funniest moments was when Michael picked up Pam and Ryan in The Michael Scott Paper Company's van. It was an early morning for the group and Pam was struggling. She asked Michael if he happened to have any coffee in the car, and he passed her a thermal cup and said "milk and sugar."
Pam excitedly took a sip of the beverage expecting hot coffee with milk and sugar in it but instead, the cup literally had milk and sugar — no coffee. He told her that he drank it every morning, which doesn't quite explain everyone saying he always had coffee breath... Perhaps he switched to milk and sugar sans coffee after people made him feel bad about it.
Grenadine
In the episode "Happy Hour," Michael meets a woman named Donna and the two hit it off. As the manager of the bar, she was shockingly more into Michael than he was into her.
As the two spoke at the bar, she asked him what his drink of choice was. Instead of saying a beer or a fancy cocktail, he simply said "grenadine." As weird as this choice is, Michael drinking a flavored bar syrup is very on track for his character.
Orange Vod-Juice-Ka
Also in the episode "Moroccan Christmas," Michael introduces a cocktail he created that's a combination of orange juice and vodka. He called it an "orange-vod-juice-ka."
In classic Michael fashion, he has no idea that this innovative recipe already exists and is actually called a Screwdriver.
Nog A Sake
In "Benihana Christmas," Michael, Andy, and Dwight go to Benihana for dinner before returning back to the office for the Christmas party.
Michael was down in the dumps after being dumped by Carole, so Andy did what any wingman would do and tried to cheer him up. He ordered a nog-a-sake (one-part eggnog and three parts sake), which they were all seen sipping afterward. Knowing Michael and his desire for strange drinks, there's no doubt that he loved this cocktail.
Soda With Additional Sugar
In another episode of The Office, Michael can be seen in the kitchen sipping a Wegman's brand cola while pouring additional sugar into it... Knowing that soda is a sugar-based drink makes fans realize how much sugar Michael has in a day. Between the grenadine cocktail, the colas with extra sugar, and the scotch and Splendas, it's no wonder this man's teeth are soft!
If Michael didn't have all this added sugar in a day, would he still be as energetic and quirky? You would not want to see this man on a sugar detox, that's for sure.
