People, often in advertising, do strange things or purposefully make mistakes to attract attention. The fact that we are discussing the sentence is proof the strategy works.

There's a rhythm and assonance to it. A native speaker would easily understand "Drink a pint o' (of) milk a day", but it works as a slogan. "Drink a pint of milk a day" sounds very un-fun.
