“Back in the day,”

We had milk delivered in glass bottles.

I remember when the old farmer would walk his cows through the village and sell you a few squirts. :-)

I used to go to Kroger, but my new job required that I get any long term drugs in 90 day packages through the mail or at CVS. Bye bye Kroger.

I used to get my milk in containers made from recycled papyrus scrolls.

We had a “milk box” on the porch by the kitchen door. The milkman would deliver milk in glass bottles a couple of times a week.

Yep. Remember the old insulated aluminum milk boxes we had on the front porch that the milkman used to take our old bottles and put fresh, cold ones in? And this was back then there wasn’t any 2%, 1%, and skim options. You drank whole milk or you didn’t drink any, period.

“Back in the day,”

As a 10y old I “read” my first Playboy magazine (for hours) on the magazine rack of the corner pharmacy. Good mamories.

I still get milk delivered twice a week. They only use glass bottles for stuff like egg nog during the holidays, though. Milk is in plastic, reusable bottles.

"We had milk delivered in glass bottles."

Back in the 50's my dad ran a dairy and we delivered those glass bottles of milk at 4:00 AM to peoples doorsteps.
