I think that the answer is:




Sour

because the milk not kept in the fridge will go off and become sour

which explains the title as well - not sweet

Is the answer:




Thatcher




Because:




Margaret Thatcher (ex UK Prime Minister) famously took English students' milk away, so she will do the same to Americans if they try it! (And as the Iron Lady, she isn't known for being sweet)

babies


Because if the children take more milk to the school the family will need more milk. So the Milkman has to come way more often to the families while both the children (school) and the father (work) are away. Which in the end results in many more born babies. And with the title babies are short and shouldn´t be sweet (but they are).

    I believe the answer is




    They study a lot better




    Because




    Rather than "watering down" the knowledge, they "milk it".

    They




    scowl




    Did you know that




    Milk comes from cows




    ?



    Yes, that totally justifies the 'knowledge' tag. Moreover




    Water is H2O.




    From there




    Remove 'H2O' from 'School' because they don't bring water anymore and you get 'scl'. Students rather bring milk, so replace 'H2O' by 'cow' into school and you get 'sccowl'. If you have seen it once, you don't need to see it twice, so you can as well remove the redundant 'c'.




    Hence the answer:




    scowl




    And




    A child scowling is short, but shouldn't be sweet (unless she is really too cute when she scowls).

    Maybe it's

    because (Thanks to @Jannis)




    Guns versus butter model. More milk is more butter so less guns (less school shootings).

    The answer is probably 5 letters long, since there's a "(5)" at the end of the clue.

            Rather than "watering down" the knowledge, they "milk it".

            They




            scowl




            Did you know that




            Milk comes from cows




            ?



            Yes, that totally justifies the 'knowledge' tag. Moreover




            Water is H2O.




            From there




            Remove 'H2O' from 'School' because they don't bring water anymore and you get 'scl'. Students rather bring milk, so replace 'H2O' by 'cow' into school and you get 'sccowl'. If you have seen it once, you don't need to see it twice, so you can as well remove the redundant 'c'.




            Hence the answer:




            scowl




            And




            A child scowling is short, but shouldn't be sweet (unless she is really too cute when she scowls).
