Milk Day
January 11th is celebrated as Milk Day. This day is special because in 1878 milk was delivered for the first time in glass bottles. Glass bottles were chosen as they kept the milk fresh and healthy which was supplied to many customers.
Earlier milk was supplied to customers in big cans which were exposed to many harmful elements. Till this day we don’t know why January 11th is known as Milk Day. Its only later that many countries started supplying milk in glass bottles. The Lester Milk Jar, which had a lid as a screw cap was the first milk “bottle” in America. It was not patented until January 29 1878.

Milk in a Glass Bottle
It holds much more,
It's quite easy to pour.
As cold as an iceberg in the Artic Sea,
Milk is so tasty to me.
Drink a cold glass of milk,
As it races down my throat like silk.
A cool glass of milk is fun,
Even on the run.
Longmont Dairy Farm,
Your milk in glass bottles sets off my alarm.
Milk is the very best from you,
When it comes I say Wahoo, Thank you MOO?
