You know the drill.

So many items popped into my head when I read this… but if I’m going to have to choose one:

.

The milk box.

(No, I didn’t grow up in Palmyra, PA … but I couldn’t find an image of the dairy that provided our back porch with a milk delivery box so this will have to do.)

Young people today are amazed when you tell them a milkman actually came to your house twice a week and left the milk, cream, and butter you ordered in a zinc lined metal box. And while I admit I vaguely remember ours as the service ended when I was quite young… never running out of milk had to be the ultimate convenience. Some dairies left ice cream as well.

Now that’s a delivery I can totally get behind.

Your turn.

What item did you grow up with that no one sees anymore?
