was bottled milk one of the stupidest things ever?

[Kyle Nuva]

or is it just living conditions? i only seen it in movies and i cant imagine getting bottles via a service, dropping off four or six bottles, getting warm and anyone could just steal right?
the first ever door dash too, but milk alone made that a business...

Milk used to come out of cows before refrigerators were invented. If you didn't have a cow, you borrowed milk from somebody else's cow, and they would put the milk in a bottle because a cow is hard to carry.

What do you mean "borrow"?!? How do you give back milk after you use it?

Reminds me of my times traveling. One time comes to mind; I was in a small village in Southern Serbia called Vučje, staying with a friend's family. They still had a milk man who brought milk around the village. It came in a metallic canister that was left on the doorstep and then brought inside to the refrigerator.

I specifically remember them making me a cup of coffee with milk and there were these little dots of (what I think was) milk fat and film. It was strange at first. My friend teased me for a few days about being unfamiliar with it because I was picking out the dots. "Careful, the milk will get you... OooOoooOOOooo" Haha.

That's the thing that stands out from all that I said?

wtf?!?!
You can hardly find any supermarket where I live. There are a ton of convenience stores out here, but no supermarket.
So bottled milk is almost the only thing I know.
Milk out of a glass bottle tastes 100 times better than milk out of the carton.

There was a time when wax covered cardboard containers were not possible. And there were not markets with refrigerators everywhere. Or cars.
Amazing they stayed alive.

Refrigerators producing milk seems less weird than rummaging through someone's sewage to reclaim their borrowed milk.

I mean, yeah, the part about milk coming from cows before refrigerators were invented also low-key suggests that, now that we have refrigerators, it doesn't come from cows anymore, but refrigerators. ;)
Not to make fun of you, it just could've hit you worse.

Don't drink refrigerator milk, it's harmful to your health! Refrigerated milk should be fine though, but check if it spoiled.

There are still plenty of places in the USA where you can have things, including milk delivered and dropped off outside a home. Could they get stolen? Yeah of course. But it’s pretty dangerous to do so in a neighborhood where every front door is viewable from several other houses, everyone knows everyone else, police/fire are within minutes, and laws are upheld. If you really needed some milk that bad, you’d be better off just door knocking and asking people.

Some people these days want to turn everything into a recurring service.

The ice truck was worse probably.

Now I know why people feel the need to explain jokes.

Yeah I don't worry about milk. I worry about $300 orders from Amazon.

I thought the bit about carrying the cow would be enough of a clue.

It was overkill really.

So you think milk comes from purple cows?
