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

milk man ran over my weiner dog when i was a kid.

And those gawdawful hard Christmas candies with the soft centers and the equally awful ones shaped like a raspberry with goop in the middle.

Whitman’s samplers are disgusting too

Everything in there has a different flavor of toothpaste in the center

Still use those, although the diapers are repurposed. 😄

I still have my families' old ice box for milk.
I remember the milk man dropping it off and putting it in that box.
It was good to see a dairy in my neck of the woods use glass 1 quart and half gallon jars again. The milk tastes so much better than plastic.

They delivered them to the back door.
Had paper tops.
We used to sneak the cream of the top.
Dad would yell at us!😁

5 pages and no photos of where milk comes from.

My grandfather was a milkman for Dellwood daries for 25 years.he had scars on his butt from being bit by peoples dogs.i still have his milk bottle rack with bottles he delievered with,his Dellwood coat ,retirement watch.bunch of little plastic milk bottle caps,rulers,school book covers,etc.i have a picture of of him in his striped overalls and milk bottle carrier in front of the Divco truck,i got sick at school one time and he came and picked me up in it,drove it through the parking lot,across the playground and right up to the door.i was in the nurses office and i heard all the kids yelling about the milk truck in the playground.i heard the secratary tell him,"you can t park that there!" "I m here for a sick child lady!" And he just went right by her.i told the nurse,"thats Pop Pop now".he used to give me rides in it.the drivers seat was on a post that pushed foward so you could jump in and out.i remember him shoveling lots of ice into the back of it in a drive in ice house, and then cleaning it out when he got back.still have a couple of Dellwood insulated milk boxes around too.he retired in 1972.home delivery ended here shortly after that.

Roy I hope all here are sharp enough to know where milk comes from.

Truck drivers climbed out of that truck cab dressed like men.

When I was a kid, my folks would tell me about how when they were kids, there used to be ice men who delivered ice for people's ice boxes, house to house.

My uncle used to get potatoe chips and chocolate chip cookies delivered in metal cans.

We got potato chips delivered in a huge can when I was a kid. The brand was Charlie Chips.

Dumb as hell.

Fond memories indeed !

& in buckets, from the dairy across the creek from my Grand Parents.

& field mushrooms from the dairy pasture !

NIce!!! Brings back memories.
