Maranatha_Mark I remember Mom would only let us make chocolate milk on Saturday mornings for when we watched cartoons.

Maranatha_Mark I still get teased by my siblings, that I'm a product of the milkman.

tambourinegirl
GTO55 Do you resemble the milkman?

GTO55
tambourinegirl Yeah, that's the funny part, I was about 5, or 6 yrs. old when they started with that crap. And that's when we first got a milkman. So the math really didn't work out. But I was a little nieve, mom had to wipe away my tears, and assure me the milkman wasn't my daddy. We still joke,... View More

Why was there a need for Milkmen, and Delivery Boys in general back in our youth? Do you know? It's because most families had ONLY ONE VEHICLE per family, thus, dad who was usually the bread earner, had the vehicle to go to work in and mom was at home raising the kids! It worked FANTASTICALLY!

Maranatha_Mark

Maranatha_Mark : GREAT ON ICE CREAM

Maranatha_Mark
DrakonOmniVore I'm sure it was, but you know... it never occurred to me to try that! LOL!

tambourinegirl
Maranatha_Mark Never had banana flavor.

Maranatha_Mark
tambourinegirl Chocolate was liked by all of us, Strawberry, only by a couple of us... so one can and done for that (dad wasn't going to buy us 4 kids, each our own favorite, so the Common Denominator Flavor was the one that was gotten! LOL!).

tambourinegirl
Maranatha_Mark Same with us kids. I recall we begged for strawberry and no one really liked it. When mom threw it out a couple years later it was like a brick in the can.

Maranatha_Mark
tambourinegirl Yep, it did tend to get hard over time!
