Have You Seen These J.A. Happ ‘Win with Milk’ Videos Yet?

Last summer, Kristina Rutherford of Sportsnet profiled Blue Jays lefty J.A. Happ. Prior to that interview, not much was known about him. Happ pretty much keeps to himself and is one of the lower-profile players on the Jays.

However, one thing fans learned about Happ was his confusion about the entire bagged milk phenomenon here in Canada. Happ said: “Where’s the jug? Do you have to buy the jug separately? Why are they not in the jug already?”

Nobody really knows the answer to those questions, but one year later, Happ has found himself as the spokesperson for … you guessed it: milk.

Today is the final day of the Dairy Farmers of Canada’s contest for people to win a trip to the World Series. As a secondary prize, there’s a chance to meet Mr. Happ himself.

To me, the best part about this campaign is the videos. These popped into my Facebook timeline a few times over the last couple of weeks, but Happ’s stoic delivery sells it for me.

 

 
To enter the contest, you have to buy one litre of cow’s milk (it actually stipulates that) or chocolate and the receipt must be uploaded by 11:59pm tonight to Win with Milk dot CA.

I’m not being paid or compensated to promote this contest, I’m just a fan of bizarre player endorsements like this one. Plus, I just wanted an excuse to embed these videos. So go down a bag of milk if you want to meet J.A. Happ!
