On the east side of the state sits Michigan Dairy. Nestled in the heart of Livonia, Michigan, tucked away in an industrial park, it is one of 19 operations scattered across the country that processes nearly every dairy product you buy bearing the Kroger name: cottage cheese, ice cream, yogurt, and gallon upon gallon of milk—upwards of 100,000 gallons of milk—each and every day.
While 100,000 gallons sounds like a lot, it isn’t easy to comprehend how much that is, so let’s put it in terms we can grasp.
What Could You Do With 100,000 Gallons of Milk Processed Daily at Michigan Dairy
I have difficulty even picturing how much ground 100,000 gallons of milk could cover, but if you go by the recommended milk serving for an average bowl of cereal (125ML), then you’re looking at no less than 302,800,000 bowls of Captain Crunch (if the roof of your mouth can take it).
If “Milk Does a Body Good,” you’ll be fit as a fiddle after drinking 100,000 gallons or 1,600,000 cups of the white stuff.
What about a milk bath? Michigan’s average shower/tub combo holds between 60 and 80 gallons. Let’s average that out to 70, which means with 100,000 gallons, you could take a whopping 1,428.5 milk baths.
If you were looking to do some laps in dairy, the crew at Michigan Dairy in Livonia, Michigan, would need six and a half days to produce enough milk to fill an Olympic-sized pool—that’s 660,000 thousand gallons. I’d like to see that, though it would be a tremendous waste.
