Post #37: National Milk Day

Did you know today is NATIONAL MILK DAY?

The first day that milk was delivered in bottles was on January 11, 1878.  Each year, on the anniversary of that day people across the United States observe National Milk Day to celebrate America’s number one beverage.
Here is some milk trivia that you can share with your family and friends:
—  United States and Australia are the world’s largest exporters of milk and milk products.
—  Throughout the world, there are more than 6 billion consumers of milk and milk products.
—  In the Middle Ages, milk was called the virtuous white liquor because alcoholic beverages were more reliable than water.
—  1863 – French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur invented pasteurization, a method of killing harmful bacteria in beverages and food products.
So Tell Me... Do you like milk?  Why or why not?
