@getroastedai.com: The bizarre dairy history of the orange tip. 🧡🐄 If you grew up peeling this sticky white adhesive off your hands, you probably didn’t know it started as a dairy product. Back in the 1930s, the Borden dairy company realized they could make a heavy-duty adhesive out of casein, a protein naturally found in milk. They originally sold it under the name Casco Glue, but eventually decided it needed a major rebrand. Borden already had a wildly successful mascot for their milk brand named Elsie the Cow. So, they decided to create a husband for her. His name was Elmer the Bull. In 1947, they officially launched Elmer’s Glue-All. They eventually phased out the milk proteins for modern synthetic polymers, but they kept the bull on the label and introduced the iconic orange twist cap that went on to define every elementary school art project for the next 70 years. #Nostalgia #ElmersGlue #1980s #TodayILearned #GetRoastedAI
