I think by like 1965 all Milkmen were done.

Depends on the place, we still received deliveries up to the mid 70’s

They put the bottles in small insulated sheet metal boxes with a lid, that were about a foot high, a foot long, and 8 inches or so wide. Those were on your porch where the milkman would deliver.

Some of the people I knew were the kind of miscreants who would steal peoples milk right off their back porch. Early 70s.

I'm on this site with old people.

I've been suspecting there were a bunch of kid under 50 on here.

Kid under 50? Kids are usually 17 and younger. It makes sense that you would call children anyone under 50, as you are entirely invisible to that demographic.

I was stretching it for comedic effect. People typically become adults in their early to mid 40s, if it happens at all. At least in the US, the generations of after-boomers have become increasingly infantilized to the point that many will never reach adulthood at all.

you are entirely invisible to that demographic.

Even boomers have difficulty perceiving me, as I wear a cloak of social invisibility.

Nowadays they deliver the milk in insulated tote bags.

i lived in London, UK in the late 1970's and had milk delivered. Real glass bottles. Not homogenized. There were three types, Red seal, silver seal and blue seal, each having a different amount of cream floating on top. Red seal was 1/3 cream and was wonderful.

And then, there was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e1xvyTdBZI

We had a milkman around 1970, always came in the AM, and dad was always there. Sometimes he'd stay for a cup of coffee, but usually short chat and gone.

Not the only thing they used to drop off for lonely housewives

The milk man really was a bad idea. He's not bringing the rest of your groceries. So why have a man come by your house on a regular basis in the middle of the day over something so small?

I'm not the jealous type but if something was going to border on stupid that would be it.

At least a plumber is a disgusting creep, isn't there often enough for her to develop thoughts about, and is doing something real.

It’s because the milk was fresh from the farm not laden with chemicals from mega corps

In a small town we used to live in we had a fruit guy and a juice guy. Every week they would drive up and you would pick what you wanted. Then everyone got on food stamps and had no way of paying them so they died out and everyone became reliant on the big stores. Just as God (gov) intended.

I prefer the "everyone has their thing" way.

Sounds like Mexico. Go back

I was born in 1980. And we even had a milk guy when I was little.

yeah, its so stupid to have local farms with services, WHAT A BUNCH OF RETARDS

Well,a long long time ago, before boomers ruined the country, people didn't have refrigerators. Eggs and bread was stable at room temperature for a few days but milk would spoil! So, some of the creative marketing executives of yore came up with the milk man - a single person to deliver milk,and have sex with lonely housewives, in the same service.

[ - ] s23erdctfvyg 0 points 3 monthsJan 13, 2025 16:36:26 ago (+0/-0)

It was during a time when refrigeration wasn't available, or easily available. You couldn't just buy it from the supermarket.

Anyways this is literally the first time I've ever heard of anyone saying milkman used to cheat with housewives. Given the few old men I've known that were milkmen, I doubt it happened at all.
