A team of cheerleaders from South Dakota won the national ‘got milk? Be Strong Challenge by touting the benefits of chocolate milk.
“We honestly all love chocolate milk,” Dakota Spirit Magnum cheer squad member Cassie Wilka told KLDT News.
"It's filled with electrolytes, calcium, protein, and other stuff that really just helps us rebuild and refuel after practice,” said cheerleader Courtney Belden.
