Welcome to National Milk Day!
National Milk Day on January 11 commemorates the day that many think the first milk deliveries in glass bottles began in the United States. Alexander Campbell of the New York Dairy Company professed to the New York State Senate that his company was the first to make these deliveries in 1878.
Here is some milk trivia that you can share with your family and friends:
— The 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.
— 1884 – American Doctor Hervey Thatcher of New York City, developed the first modern glass milk bottle, called ‘Thatcher’s Common Sense Milk Jar,’ which was sealed with a waxed paper disk. Later, in 1932, plastic-coated paper milk cartons were introduced commercially as a consequence of their invention by Victor W. Farris.

Syracuse Football: Brisly Estime update with the New York Jets (itlh.com; Esden Jr)
Former Syracuse football wide receiver and current New York Jets star Brisly Estime sat down to talk about his future and more. ITLH breaks it down.
The Orange is the New Fast continues to do wonders for former Syracuse football stars. That is especially true for Brisly Estime with the New York Jets.
After a marvelous four-year career (2013-16) with the Orange where Estime tallied 103 receptions, 1,208 yards, and seven touchdowns, per CFB Reference he signed on with the Jets.
But he truly made his bones on special teams and that’s why the Jets had such a high level of interest. Throughout his career, Estime averaged 20.3 yards per kick return and even more impressively averaged 18 yards per punt return including two touchdowns, per CFB Reference.
That’s been an area of concern for the Jets for the last several years. This past season the Jets were last in the league in punt return average and near the bottom of the league in kickoff returns.
