It seemed milk was a bigger deal 25-30 years ago. I barely remember the 70's, but I can still remember the glass milk bottles accumulating and there was an actual milkman who came to your door. God I miss that. Even in the 80's there would be a school plan where we would all get milk at a certain time of day at recess. Maybe the dairy industry needs to have some throwback promotions or something.

Interesting Rip. I never thought we'd have a milk thread on here.

I know what you mean though, because we had to drink milk every day for lunch and supper. I actually was never allowed soda. You really don't see kids drinking milk much any more. But, they are heavily promoting it, and promoting the fact that it can help make you lose weight. But, I think it is over powered by flavored waters and power drinks.

I guess I'm an old fashioned kinda fella but I love my full strength milk. I love an icy cold tall glass with a chocolate muffin, or a delicious chocolate "Big M".
