Recent news on how many people think chocolate milk is produced by brown cows has me thinking, can we have flavored cows? I know the articles on this topic are intended to point out how stupid people are, but you have to wonder if genetic flavoring is in our future.? Scientists are working on exactly that right now. The other question is are Americans telling us what they think about chocolate milk? or do they think this was just a dumb survey question. Check out the news below.

“7% of American adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows, according to a nationally representative online survey commissioned by the Innovation Center of U.S. Dairy.If you do the math, that works out to 16.4 million misinformed, milk-drinking people.

Salt water taffy is due become the official state candy for New Jersey. A group of astute fifth graders from Sayreville’s Samsel Upper Elementary School testified before a government panel this week to make their love of Salt Water Taffy official. Making Salt Water Taffy the official state candy will help attract tourism and business activity for the Jersey coast.

Interestingly, salt water taffy has no salt water in it. In the late 1800s a young entrepreneur opened a taffy store on the New Jersey boardwalk.
