It is because the milk after spilled covers a larger surface area than the inside of the cup . I solved this problem by using a huge cup filled half way with milk , now I'm amazed at the small amount of the spill .

This is due to the way the milk reacts to the container it is in. If it is on the floor, it is no longer in a container, thus, it spreads out. Consider the shape of an ice cube versus the shape of rain. See the difference? Good question!

Because when milk reacts with a flat non-porous material, like a table, a chemical reaction takes place instantly quadrupling the size of each milk molecule, thus making it look like a gallon.

Because liquid shapes to the form of it container so therfore when spilled on a flat surface it spreads as far as it can. Making it a b**** to clean

It reproduces in cups until it turns into a gallon.

because the milk is no longer restrained inside the cup and finds a bigger surface to expand...

Because is White and ur floor is dark, so it makes looks alot
oppose to water. u only see half of it since is colorless
and density of milk heavier than ur water. so it evaporate slower than water
