Is this review for a gallon of milk ethos, pathos, or logos and why?

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. But the creamy yumminess of Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon. 128 fl oz will be praised across the galaxy forever more. Time to die."

This review appears to be using ethos, pathos, and logos in a humorous way to create a satirical effect. The reference to sci-fi elements such as "attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion" and "C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate" employs ethos by associating the milk with grandiose, epic imagery, thus implicitly appealing to the audience's sense of adventure and imagination. The phrase "creamy yumminess" is using pathos by appealing to the reader's sense of taste and desire for delicious food. Finally, the specific details such as the amount of milk (1 gallon, 128 fl oz) use logos by providing concrete information that could help the reader make a purchasing decision. However, the overall tone is so humorous and over-the-top that it is not a serious use of any of these rhetorical strategies.
