Why can't Pokemon use Milk or Lemonade as a held item?

>>25876806
The in-game explanation is that Pokemon don't know how to use man-made consumables.

The actual reason is because gamefreak hates you and went out of their way to make sure that totally awesome strategy you came up with involving giving you pokemon max potions as held items wouldn't work.

>>25876835
Bottles of spray-on medicine (or whatever the fuck it is) =/= simple bottled of milk stopped with corks/caps
To be fair, it wouldn't work with all mons, like in >>25876878

it actually controls your mind and makes you do its bidding
making you open the potion for it for instance
it makes you believe its of your own will, think agian.
