As a former dairy worker, i think people have to consider that unlike soda - which cost about 1.20 average i think for 67 ounces, but which really needs no refrigeration and can be stored for months, and is just sugar and flavoring - milk, which is about $1.75 for 64 ounces, requires expensive cows be feed, cared for and milked 2- 3 times a day, 365 days a year, and the milk kept under almost constant refrigeration from that time, except for being processed (clarified, pasteurized, homogenized) and delivered at least twice a week, all within about 4 days after the milk came from the cow.
And then there are the milk cases, which we used to lose about half of each year.
Kind of helps keep things in perspective.
Poultry embryos, strips of swine flesh and bovine mammary excrement. BUMP.

College dorm rooms and first apartments across the country would truly suffer without them. :)
