The “got milk?” Milk Mustache Mobile – Drink Well. Live Well. – Tour is stopping in Oklahoma City from April 26 – May 1 hosting a series of free, community events to help residents achieve overall wellness.
Who: The “got milk?” Milk Mustache Mobile Drink Well. Live Well. Tour and the local dairy processors Borden Milk Products, Braum’s Ice Cream and Dairy Stores and Hiland Dairy Foods.
What: “got milk?” and local milk processors are hosting a series of events in the Oklahoma City area for community residents. At these events, residents can:
– Experience the “Wellness Oasis” and get tips on how to achieve wellness and balance in their life
– Receive health assessments from a registered dietitian
– Sample low fat and fat free milk and yogurt from local dairies
– Relax with five-minute chair massages from a licensed massage therapist
– Pose for their own celebrity-inspired Milk Mustache photos to keep as souvenirs
– Enter for a chance to win a healthy meal prepared by a personal chef and a year’s supply of milk
Why: From March to August, the national “got milk?” Milk Mustache Mobile’s Drink Well. Live Well. Tour is traveling coast-to-coast to reintroduce Americans to milk—a nutrient powerhouse.
When & Where:
· Oklahoma City Zoo on April 29 for the Kick-off event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
· Outside the OKC-Red Hawks Baseball game on April 30 from 5-7 p.m.
· Norman Homeland on May 1 from 5-7 p.m.
This is the 12th annual “got milk?” Tour that is conducted in an effort to educate Americans on the health and wellness benefits of drinking three glasses of milk each day. While food scientists have worked to duplicate milk’s benefits in manufactured new age beverages, none are as wholesome, nutritious and delicious as milk. Milk is nature’s wellness drink and local milk processors are generous enough to sample their low fat and fat free milk to consumers nationwide.
Since drinking the recommended three glasses of low fat or fat free milk each day gives you the powerful payback of nine essential nutrients and at only 25 cents per 8-ounce glass, milk is a bargain.
This is the message that local milk processors are striving to get across to Americans with this year’s Milk Mustache Mobile – Drink Well. Live Well. –

It is time that the good effects of milk has to be spread across the length and breadth of this globe and the no-milk campaign has to be countered effectively.
