I know someone's gotta fuck soldiers' spouses but cmon
Households had refrigerators, but it also had a lot to do with the improvement of processing. Homegenization and pasteurization meant that with refrigeration milk would last much longer rather than spoiling in a few days.
I'm pretty sure there's a similar story with flour, it used to rot pretty quickly and every town had a mill because flour wouldn't make it too far out of town before spoiling (plus demand for quite a few bakerys in every town too). Now we have flour that'll last a year in your pantry because of additives. Not sure when this would have changed, maybe the early 20th century? Maybe even the 1950s and on?
they still deliver milk in Liberal, KS.
and in the heyday of milk delivery you also had grocery delivery. milk was only separate because it was distributed by the dairy directly.
Idk we're basically returning to a delivery economy with the doordash and the Uber eats. I like how old houses had icebox/milkboxes near the front door
yeah, a service that delivered basic stuff like bread flour etc every week to everyone would be dope
But like, just milk?! how and why?
In Capitalist Amerikkka, only soldier's spouses who can afford pools get easy access to prole fuckboys
If you don’t have reliable refrigeration, you can’t keep milk fresh, so if you want to have milk on hand, you have to get new milk daily. If everyone in your neighborhood needs milk daily, it makes perfect sense to have a guy deliver it instead of everyone making a separate trip every day just to get milk. It also makes sense that the guy who shows up literally every day would be the one fucking the troops’ wives. It’s all pretty intuitive once you think about it.
I can’t wait for the sequel lol
I just played the og with my nephew a little while back
It made reusing the bottles a lot easier, other than the refrigeration issue.
Also funny how it's specifically milkman, and especially from a vegan pov, right? Like where's my adult dude who brings my girl cow juice? Idk return to monke and drink your own milk you perv.
I'm not even vegan :I-was-saying:
According to my grandma there were a lot of “food-men” back in the day. There was a bread man, an egg man, a produce guy.
I guess grocery stores were less of a thing then and most people didn’t have cars so they had to get everything delivered? Milkmen apparently remained around the longest, hence the stereotype.
My grandma had reusable seltzer bottles and a seltzer guy into the early 90s.
In India we still have an egg guy who comes around 9pm every other day to our apartment.
the milkman is actually engaged in a long con to get people pregnant and increase demand for milk.
Here at the volcel police department we are incredibly conflicted about this
everyone in this thread needs to watch the milkman Father Ted episode that's a parody of Speed
yeah but I bet the shot of bouncing boobies belonging to the lady who opens the door for milkman Dougal is blurred out. haven't checked
