So anyone who knows me knows that I have a crazy obsession with milk. I love it. I literally go through a gallon of milk every couple of days. To me it’s delicious so I suppose that it’s only natural that I get to do 8 Maids of Milking. But the big question is…what the heck should I write about?
Here are some fun facts about my favorite beverage milk.
· It takes 29 cups of milk to make 1 pound of butter.
· A cow can't give milk until she has given birth to a calf.
· A cow drinks over 117 gallons of water in a week, no wonder cow farms smell.
· The average cow produces 90 glasses of milk each day — or about 200,000 glasses of milk throughout her life.
· A cow's udder can hold 25 - 50 pounds of milk.
· Cows were first brought to Plymouth Colony in 1624.
· Most cows give more milk when they listen to music.
· Blue whale calves drink as much as 132 gallons of milk a day. A baby whale can increase its weight by 200 pounds in one day.
· Yak's milk is pink.
· Camel's milk does not curdle.
· Cows have an amazing sense of smell — they can smell something up to 6 miles away, like food.
· Milk is better for cooling your mouth after eating spicy food. (Milk products contain casein, a protein that cleanses burning taste buds.)
