who here still remember when milk was delivered to your front door ?
I kinda do , we still had milk men when I was a kid , don't know when they stopped , some time in the 70's I'm guessing
even though our milk man was our neighbor , I don't think I ever once saw him delivering milk ,
did it early in the mornings I'd guess
but my question is , how long could the milk sit outside , before going bad
it was usually delivered early in the morning before people went to work , so it probably didn't sit out there to long
but like here in Iowa , in the winter , milk in a glass bottle sitting outside could freeze in 20 minutes
so what was the routine ? I'm guessing most of them came like twice a week , did you get up to meet them , or just worry about the milk sitting outside later...........lol
I do remember we had this white wooden box at the bottom of the step he would put the milk in , it was also a great box for keeping snakes and turtles in
anyways , I was just sitting here watching an old British comedy , and in the background you could see a milkman delivering milk to a neighbor , in the summer time ,and it just made me think
how long could that milk sit out there before it goes bad
I googled it , but got like 9 different answers
