Mmmmph! They don’t even give you glass bottles.

The New York version of this, which was featured on a thread here about a month ago, at least had the deliveries done by men in milkman uniforms, and with glass bottles.

If they only would put it in glass bottles again. I would so love that. Growing up we were pretty much country and poor, so we didn’t have milk delivery, but we did have a dairy store. It sold the milk in returnable half gallon bottles and the cream in little pint bottles. I don’t know if glass keeps milk colder or if just the sweat on the bottles makes one think so, but I know it makes it taste better. Our treat was a couple bottles of chocolate..

Brings back memories. I so loved the milk delivery we used to have. It really cut down on the trips to the store. Great cheese, eggs, and juice in addition to the milk.

We were billed monthly. Just checked off what we wanted, and hung the order form on the doorknob at bedtime. The milkman put the order in an insulated box in the early am, and when we got up the next morning, there it was. It was great.

Nothin’ better than a cold glass of premade chocolate milk fresh from the dairy. (made with whole milk, not the 1% you get at the store)
