What is National Milk Day?
On January 11th, the day many believe the first milk bottles in glass bottles appeared in the United States, according to many. Alexander Campbell of the New York Dairy Company pleaded guilty to the New York State Senate that his company was the first to make these deliveries in 1878.
More milk and milk products are exported by the United States and Australia than in any other region. Those include cheese, yogurt, ice cream, butter, cream, powdered milk, and many more. More than 6 billion people drink milk and the products we produce from it around the world. One of the reasons is because milk contains minerals such as calcium, potassium, vitamin B12, and vitamin A.
Production history
People called milk the virtuous white liquor during the Middle Ages because alcoholic beverages were more popular than water. In 1863, French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur made it possible for milk and other food and drinks to be stored for longer stretches. He invented a way of killing harmful bacteria that is now called pasteurization.
Hervey Thatcher, an American doctor from New York City, invented the first modern glass milk bottle in 1884. It was named the "Thatcher's Common Sense Milk Jar" by the "Thatcher's Common Sense Milk Jar." To seal the milk in the glass bottle, he used a waxed paper disk. Plastic-coated paper milk cartons were first introduced commercially in 1932 as a result of Victor W. Farris' invention.
