When I was in public grade school, one had to pay 2 cents for white milk, and 3 cents for chocolate milk.

Weird that there is a shortage of packaging now.

60 years ago, it wasn’t in single serve containers. It was dispensed into heavy duty re-usable plastic glasses. But that was before the green revolution.

it โ€œcontinues to face significantly higher than projected demandโ€ for its milk cartons.

Those tiny milk cartons have to be among the most wasteful packaging around.

How about pouring it out of stainless steel jugs into individual cups or glasses?

What nitwit couldn’t foresee the demand for these after millions of illegals cross the border with families that actually value having large numbers of children?

When I was a kid, real little kid we had 1\2 pint glass bottle. You had to shake the bottle cause cream went to the top.

Half of these unopened cartons are returned unused and are prohibited from being distributed to charities.

When I was walking up hill both ways over broken glass barefoot in the snow... We had to bring our own cows in our book bags and suckle right at the teet if we wanted milk.....

Lots of people on this thread recalling how tough it was when they were young.

They’re all just crying over spilled milk.

You must be really old ๐Ÿ˜†It was a nickel when I was in grade school. Inflation bites.

“2 cents for white milk”

Me, too. But we were deprived — there was NO chocolate milk. You got white milk and liked it.

No soda machines, no vending machines — nothing but school work, classrooms, cafeteria and a gymnasium. Times were tough. But we learned and didn’t whine.

When my dad was a boy he rode on the running board of the milk truck
and hopped off carrying glass milk bottles to the steps of customer's houses.
Then run back to the truck.

That was just a 'few' years ago - my dad would be 98 now.

When I was in school we had 1/3 pint glass bottles and waxed paper straws.
On an aside comment...Starbucks sells stainless steel straws.
Could do some serious damage in a street fight.

China has had to halt the production of milk cartons because they’re running short on melamine. It’s an integral part of the waterproof coating on the inside of the carton.
