05/28/2008 | There is still at least one morning delivery service where I live. The family across the street from me used to get their milk deleivered. Shortly after they cancelled their milk service one of their kids started selling steroids out the basement. But he didn't deliver, it was strictly pick-up. There was a constant traffic of customers at all hours of the night for a couple of years until the police visited.

05/27/2008 | When I first got married we had milk delivered to the door. It actually came in bags and they provided an orange pitcher to use with the bag. I still have the orange pitcher in my garage.

05/24/2007 | I remember the cats loved it in the winter if the milkman was early and the milk froze before my mother picked it up. The bottle would break, and the cats would go nuts.

04/06/2006 | The milkman came in the back door and put the milk in the ice box (yes, we didn't have a 'frige.)
Friges were very expensive and didn't become much available until after WWII.

11/30/2005 | This was cool. We had a set of stairs that people thought went nowhere but they actually went to a little box for milk. It also opened into the kitchen so all we had to do was open it from the inside and take the milk!

07/21/2005 | Just barely. I remember when i was pretty young they still had the milk box where the milkman would drop off those glass containers. it did not seem that long before you could buy milk at the store. I remember they also used to have what was called Charles potato chips. that got delivered to your door. the only experience my own kids have had with food delivery is we buy stuff from the Schwan man. at least this gives them an idea of what the milkman may have been like.

07/20/2005 | yep I remember this. I thought it was magic when I was little, because I never actually seen the milkman.

07/20/2005 | It was real service - you could order chocolate milk (which my folks allowed occasionally), cream, etc., usually by leaving a note. Sometimes I wonder how they managed to keep everything straight, but they did. The clinking of bottles and the wire bottle holders was always a pleasant sound. And did milkmen drive anything other than the characteristic Divco delivery trucks?

07/20/2005 | I was living in England in the Early sixties. I dont recall what was happening here at home but while there (England) we had 4 glass bottles of milk Fresh with cream that had rised to the top on our doorstep. Often times the alunimun foil tops on the bottles were pecked through by birds wanting to sip the cream. Wow..those were the good ole days. Pouring the cream from the top of the milk straight on my strawberries in the morning.

07/19/2005 | My first year away at college, my brother came to visit for the week-end. My roommate looked at him, shaking his hand (his hair blond, mine, dark brown, not too much facial similarity) saying, did your milkman have blond hair or something? and everyone in the room got it. Immediately.

07/19/2005 | I remember the milkman vividly. They brought the glass bottles in a wire milk holder. The milk was still iced cold and ready to drink.
