National Chocolate Milk Day
September 27
An Irish physician named Sir Hans Sloane is the inventor of chocolate milk. He brought his chocolate milk recipe with him back to England from Jamaica, where it was manufactured and sold as medicine. Chocolate milk can boost calcium and vitamin D, which research shows is important for preserving cartilage and joint health. Research has found that cacao contains antibacterial agents that fight tooth decay. The problem is that the things that are added such as sugar and milk can still cause cavities. Drinking one large glass after you work out will boost muscle growth and speed recovery.
Google’s Birthday
September 27
The name ‘Google’ is derived from the mathematical term ‘googol’ which is basically 1 with 100 zeros following it. One of the early versions of Google could process 30-50 pages per second. Now Google can process millions of pages per second. Since the founders weren’t looking to start their own business, they tried to sell their search engine system. Yahoo originally said no, but in 2002 offered to buy Google for $3 billion. Google said no, and it’s now valued at $400 billion.
