Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Back When Milk Came in Refillable Bottles.

Had a couple of those. And YooHoo.

But, if we had enough money we'd buy an Apple Beer, and act all grown up, like it was real beer...

Just the time I got big enough to help we went from milk bottles in town to milk pails and milk cans on a dairy farm.

So i got to do both ends of the stick. Milking cows twice a day sure messed up my deer hunting.

I bought some apple beer, brought it home, poured it into a glass, and had one hell of a time convincing my dad that I wasn't trying to pull something over on him. He needed to listen to KIOA, I guess.

Not to mention the taste!

Big thing in my day was Towne Club Pop.

You could buy a quart of chocolate milk and get a ride in the milk truck.

LOL.

Show on this doll where the bad milkman touched you...

And, I thought it came from cows.....silly me! memtb

The RC Cola man here took the local retard “BoBo” to a whore house to get him laid.

JameJr can back me up on part of this.

Connie worked BoBo over and she asked him if he could come again...he said “if de RC mans will bwing me”

I remember the milk glass bottles. We'd leave a checklist on delivery days of what you wanted and milk man would leave the containers in a hard plastic basket along with butter or cheese if that's what ordered. The brands we had were Golden Jersey and Hygia. I also remember the glass cups and such inside the Quaker Oats containers. The S&H green stamps that we'd save and cash them in for home items such as coffee cups. Great memories!

Kitty Clover Potato chips

And Wells Blue Rabbit Ice Cream

And Bubble-Up

And Rath ham

my old man drank a lot of brandy, whiskey and gin. my mom bought the jelly in the little straight jars that hold maybe 4 ounces and thats what he used for shot glasses. i still have a bunch and thats what i use for mixing gin and tonics. etc. makes a perfect 3/1 glass. somewhere i have some of the ones that had cartoon characters painted on them. at least i think they were cartoons. could have been something else.

I had forgotten all about those jelly jars that became table glasses..... Of course; there's a lot of stuff that I've forgot. I recall the milk man making home deliveries in that little, boxy van style truck made by Divco, ( an acronym for - Detroit Industrial Vehicle Company). Home delivery of milk was to your milk box usually out on the porch. It was a thinly insulated box with an outer skin of galvanized (?) steel (?), or was it some kind of aluminum ? Later on, circa 1967-68, in high school when I was pumping gas at an Atlantic gas station we gave out S&H Green Stamps to gas customers.

We did not buy, double meaning, bu[img]https://iconicphotos.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/large_pulitzerprizeweb.jpg?w=700[/img]t Adil Stevenson's hole in his shoe.

That Bama jelly/jam jars made the best kitchen glasses.

Those small shrimp cocktail jars made pretty good small glasses.

But my mom's Tupperware tea glasses outlasted them all.

The little cheese (kraft) and some of the jelly jars were/are collectible

Theyre called swanky swigs

Six ounce Coke bottles for a dime, you got two cents back. Five cent fountain Coke.

ya those 6 oz cokes were a real teaser. i still have some of those bottles i found laying in the woods. imagine trying to get todays tubs of lard to downsize to those from a 24 ozer.

The only reason land fills are filling up is the Federal Regulations regarding land fills.
