I noticed the Chunky candy has been getting smaller and smaller over the last few years. Now, I can’t even find it in the Dollar Stores. I know it’s probably available online, but I shouldn’t be eating so much candy anyway.
It’s probably for the best that I can’t get any in stores for now.

It should be square, and fat. I liked the one with Raisins. They also took VERY well to peanut butter being spread on top. These days, when my wife isn’t looking, I sneak in a Payday or Hershey’s Gold. I would have a Reese’s Nutrageous (NOT Outrageous, a different product) if I could find it in single serve packages.

Borden’s main problem is their milk is always about $1.00 more than the store brands and no better.

Elmer has been put into a "senior care home" and has been officially replaced by Gorilla glue.

>50’s ad for Borden’s milk. What a different world...<

I remember as a kid in the 60’s, early 70’s the Borden milk trucks still made the rounds in neighborhoods making home deliveries. You could buy ice cream bars or a pint of chocolate milk from the driver. He was like the ice cream truck coming around, without the stupid music.

Most nut milk is very blah including almond milk... but if you were raised on bluejohn [skim milk] , almond milk tastes fantastic, as does everything other than bluejohn.

If they still delivered they’d be doing better... suddenly everyone wants stuff delivered since so many kids now did not learn how to drive.

A dairy going tits up?

As that is the cream of humor on FR today I won't churn you up by trying to milk the gag for more jokes.

As the Three Stooges used to say in parting "Let's cheese it."

sales of milk alternatives continue to soar.
…………………………………………………………………………..

Price per gallon is around $1.25 here in central Illinois. I want it back to $1.00 like it was a year ago or 88¢ or 79¢, like it was 2 & 3 years ago.

Generic brands milk has been dirt cheap around here for about five years now. I can taste zero difference between “Great Value” & “Sealtest” I suspect it all comes from the same cows.

No, it was a reference to the 1920’s Dairy Cheese industry trying to get Velveeta taken off the market by claiming it wasn’t real cheese.

They failed, obviously..................
