DALLAS, Aug. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- While Fairgrounds may be closed this year, State Fair of Texas® fanatics can still indulge in the famous flavors inspired by the delicious food with a glass of Cotton Candy milk. Dallas-based Borden Dairy, one of America's favorite dairy companies founded in 1857, has concocted three limited-edition, Fair-inspired flavors of milk – Cotton Candy, Caramel Popcorn, and last year's blue ribbon winner Banana Taffy.
The flavored milks will be available for purchase in 16-oz. bottles at Walmart, HEB, Circle K, Dallas and Houston Kroger stores, and other select retailers in Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Ohio.
"While we can't all be together in person to enjoy all the famous food of the State Fair, families can still enjoy the Fair's fun and indulgent flavors in their homes when they try Borden's unique milk flavors," said Pete Schenkel, Borden Board Member and former Chairman of the State Fair of Texas. "The State Fair holds a special place in my heart as it does for many, and the company is honoring the tradition by bringing consumer-voted flavors to the dairy aisle through mid-October."
Borden has a rich history at the State Fair of Texas, where Elsie the Cow was a leading attraction for decades, drawing long lines since her first appearance in 1946. This year, would-be Fairgoers will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite Fair-inspired milk flavors, enter to win contests and more.
