"State Beverage" is midcentury marketing brain worms for large agribusinesses. It might be quaint but they sold a shit ton through idiotic reflexive reactionary nationalism.

It's such a parasitic version of state flowers/trees. The blue columbine being our state flower means it's illegal to pick one. Our public lands can be unimaginably beautiful because the columbine fields are so thick that they perfume the air. Dairies poison my water as much as their product poisons me.
Yeah I saw tomato juice for Ohio and just immediately assumed it was a lobbying campaign from the 60s, they only produce about 1% of California's yield though.
My quick google searches say that Ohio made it tomato juice to coincide with a regional state fair that centered around tomatoes. Apparently Ohio was the largest producer of tomatoes in the US in 1965.

EDIT: I've seen this before, but can someone remind me what this is from? 
I promise this is curiousity posting not horny posting.

milk is the most fascist beverage
I agree instinctively, is there a reason why this is the case?
Treatment of cattle is not that different to how fascists view and treat humans.
One of the few drinks directly extracted from the body of an exploited being.
possibly because it's inextricably linked with animal agriculture, specifically one of an industrial scale
Insert Homelander clip
I was doing a bit at work recently where it's the opening scene of Inglorious Basterds but Hanz Landa has never heard of milk before or seen a cow. Once he finds out what they've been doing to cows he figures there is no way those freaks would be harboring jews
gross
shuddering at the thought of mixing milk and Fanta

Tomato juice is the most punk drink, Ohio doesn't deserve it.
Nebraska absolutely deserves theirs however
Let me have just one win for being born in this shithole state.
tomato juice is amazing and you can put black pepper or whatever in it and then it's spicy tomato juice and it's amazing.
Tomato juice isn't bottom shelf booze, and is therefore disqualified for most punk rock drink

This is probably part of post-war US dairy industry lobbying.
All the ones that are milk related are from the 80s, it's probably some Regan bullshit.
heh. State beverage. So dumb. I wonder what my dumb state made theirs.
We don't even have one?? What kind of bullshit is this?
That means your state beverage is water, right?
That means people in his state are cautioned aginst getting addicted to water

My state doesn't have an official beverage, probably because it would be ranch dressing.

To be fair there only used to be about 3 different kinds of drinks when the USA settled the frontier: milk, whiskey, and laudenum
don't forget (hard) cider and (slavery) rum
Being able to process cow's milk is a whole insane thing in white-supremacist circles.

21 of them accepted milk lobby money, you mean lmao
The dairy lobby is no joke
This has got to be connected to how the dairy lobby got huge after WW2. Like this is probably connected to when the agribusiness lobbyists convinced the FDA or whoever to put a dairy category on the food pyramid.
Arizona’s not being Tea is a travesty.
A buncha mammons 
I tell ye hwat
Please stand up to salute the flag and sip the state soft drink
Imagining being a dairy farmer who started clapping his hands like a seal when this law was enacted in my state, thinking about all the future milk customers I'd get because of it.
Time for Illinois to make theirs malort
New Mexico straight up thinks this shit is stupid
