Have you ever had an epiphany when drinking a cold glass of milk, “Who learned how to milk cows, and how did one purify and make it so delectable and tasty to drink?” Let me guess most of you guys have, because it’s a thought many of us regularly have. Allow me to explain the story of who discovered it was possible to milk cows and how it became safe to drink.
If you have ever taken a history class, you must have either watched Heimler history or heard of him. As a frequent viewer, I always noticed that Heimler says, “Let’s get that brain cow milk.” It was after a quick perusing search that I found out it was his great-grandfather who discovered how to milk cows and discovered to consume the delicacy that is milk. Heimler Forsythe was his grandfather’s name and the story is quite a twist of events. According to my search, Heimler Forsythe was frolicking in the grass when he saw his parents’ cows. It occurred to him what the udder’s purpose was. So as a rebel, he examined it closer and saw the small holes, his curiosity took over him. He reached his hand out and began squishing the cow udder, to his surprise this white liquid substance shot out. As he was squeezing the gutter, some of it accidentally came in contact with his mouth. He spat it out immediately, however, as the taste lingered he became wanting more. Not knowing whether it was safe to consume, he ran to this house, got a pot, and squeezed out as much as he could. He once saw his dad heating up lemons to get the bitter taste out, so, subsequently, he followed what he had once seen his father do. After some time, the milk looked ready to consume. He poured himself a cup and boy was he astonished. It was like drinking liquid gold. He knew he could profit from this, so he began thinking of the multi-million dollar company he could make just off of cows alone. He began a milk stand, selling jars of purified milk. Soon, people began trying this suspicious drink and came back wanting more.
Himelier Forsythe set up his family for generations. His discovery led to big delicious bowls of cereal, chocolate milk, milk chocolate candy bars , and frozen yogurt. His discovery will go down in history, that is what pushed his grandchild to make Heimler history, as a testimony to his grandfather who made history.
