Notes

Exact issue still unresolved. Dairy Foods (Mar. 1, 2008) reports that Starbucks and the dairy industry began promoting milk with a Lowe print ad featuring barista Young C. Han, scheduled to run in late February 2008 in Entertainment Weekly and The New York Times Magazine. Do not convert 'late February' into an exact issue date without a physical/digital issue match.
