“Alveoli: Tiny milk-producing sacs that are arranged in clusters throughout the breast. Each breast has hundreds of alveoli. Once the milk is produced, it’s secreted into tube-shaped ducts that travel to the nipple.”

That’s funny. I remember learning in biology class about alveoli, but in the lungs. I guess they serve the same function, except with air.
I remember that too! To me, it sounds like a dipping sauce for bread:
Me: Waiter, would you happen to have alveoli?
Waiter: No. The only vinegars we have are White and Balsamic.
LOL! Sounds like some sort of curvy pasta to me!
