How long has it been since you have seen milkmen use glass bottles in delivery ?!


Question: Quite a while back.I think they may have disappeared sometime around the 1960s here in Texas. I use to drink milk with my lunch at school from a bottle. When I was a senior in 1960, I believe it was from cartons. A local dairyman delivered his milk to homes a few years after that, if my memory serves me right.

I never have. I'm 37 but not old enough.

late 60's, early 70's

I live on a farm that bottles its own milk, and dad "delivered" a bottle to this morning's breakfast table, today!

Cheers!

Last Friday and every Friday after that.
It is expensive but worth it.The milk is fresh and pure, locally produced. The added benefit is no plastic and no chemical leaching from the plastic into the milk.

We used to get milk delivered in glass bottles until about 1970.

By the 1960s, glass bottles had been replaced with paper cartons. Whole Foods sells milk with the cream still on top in old-fashioned glass bottles.

Oberwiss Dairy uses glass bottles still
