I really wish my milk came in glass bottles washed by minimum wage earners, and sat on my front porch festering in the sun while neighborhood dogs pissed on it
Don the Donut is who I miss. Fresh baked donut and other goodies every morning, right in the hood.
Grew up in the city where it was a short walk to the goodie shop. Was nice to have delivery when the folks moved us to the 'burbs.
Be nice to have milk and farm eggs delivered here. I could just eat them hens out in the Gulag and shut that place down if I I could get a dozen or so a week from someone, like the Mennonites, that uses child labor to clean their Gulags and harvest them eggs.
Kids need to get out in the dark, feed them birds, milk them cows, and all that. The world is goin' to scheidt since we stopped all that character building stuff.
Glass bottle of whole milk, cream risen to the top and popping that paper lid off....................man, I sure miss those days.

Never had the milkman but we did buy milk direct from my Aunt and Uncle. Every Sunday night, we'd make the two mile drive and dip four or five pitchers in to the bulk tank and come home with fresh whole milk.
That eventually got frowned upon by the powers that be and we had to start buying milk from the store. That took some getting used to.

Our milkman used to stop by our house twice a week and leave 3 gallons at a time. He'd wake me up around 4 am with the sound of his truck coming up the driveway. Glass jugs with red plastic handles.
Before the milk man we used to get whole milk from a local farmer with a few dairy cows. Even today after 60+ years I still shake the store bought milk carton when I get it out of the fridge even though there's no cream to mix up.
I remember them as a kid. We'd get miniature sized milk cans (5 gallons I think) in an insulated box on the back porch. We would then put them in a small refrigerator type appliance, undid a rubber hose at the bottom. When we needed milk it was just a matter of putting a pitcher under the hose and pulling out a plunger and milk would magically appear. Us kids loved to fill the pitcher. That was 55 years ago.
I used to get ice cold chocolate mrlks for 15cents straight off the truck while the Purity man delivered to Wendy’s. Where I served my country fixing all yall hongray mfers hamburgers.
Wendys should be 2 years compulsory service right out of the 10th grade. Work every night till 2am then get up 6am for school and still make straight A grades.
Some of those guys had big families- - - -all over the neighborhood!
Slum- - - -when the Teamsters tried to organize Purity back in the 1950's they hired shotgun guards for all their trucks and kept right on delivering milk!
