Toddler SC State Beverage Milk, Vintage Blue Cow T-Shirt

Your toddler will look fashionable, while also showing their pride and knowledge of our state symbol for the State Beverage - Milk.  It is a great conversation tee, and shares a little of the history of our state.

The official State Beverage of South Carolina is Milk.  SC's General Assembly, which convened from 1983 to 1984, declared that milk should be the state beverage.  Why? 

1. The use of milk and milk products is the best way to provide a healthy but varied diet;
2. Over twenty percent of the nation's protein is supplied by dairy products;
3. Seventy-two percent of all the nation's calcium comes from dairy products;
4. Dairy farmers are found in every county of this State except seven;
5. Nearly fifty thousand cows produce nearly five hundred seventy million pounds of milk annually in the State with a gross volume alone of over eighty-nine million sixty-two thousand dollars;
6. The dairy industry in this State represents a one hundred million dollar enterprise.

19 other states have also designated milk as their official State Beverage, making it the most popular choice in America. Only 26 states have State Beverages at all, with only six of those being drinks other than milk (i.e. Florida - State Beverage is orange juice).

South Carolina, being unique, is the only state to have both a "State Beverage" and a "State Hospitality Beverage" (sweet tea).
