This law is not as bizzare as it sounds. The intent is to keep minors out of the store. If there is (chilled and therefore drinkable) soda or milk, that will encourage those who are under-age to enter the store. The purpose is clear, the intent behind that purpose is what is a little patriarical. The assumption is that the minor will be enticed by the alcohol in the store, and be negatively influenced.

Shouldn't that read "Dr Pepper that IS chilled - not allowed"? Since according to the clip the law says no uncooled water and sodas?

Liquor stores in Indiana may not sell milk, or cold soda.

According to the Indiana Legislative Services Agency package liquor stores can only sell: liquor, beer, wine, bar supplies, tobacco, uncooled water and sodas, printed materials, lottery tickets, cooled or uncooled nonalcoholic malt beverages, and flavored malt beverages. So... no milk. Parliament Lights are ok. Lottery tickets, check. Dr Pepper that isn't chilled — not allowed. Milk, not so much.
