One thing I remember about way back when was that my brother had four kids, seven years between youngest to oldest, and for many years in the 1990s they were going through something like 5-6 gallons of milk per week. That always floored me
my mom used to save money by splitting a gallon of milk into two half gallons, then would add another half gallon of water with powdered milk to make a weird not full, not skim milk substitute that you shook before you poured.
We had six - and five boys in HS at the same time (remarriage). Parents bought three gallons on Saturday and two more around Wednesday. And BOXES of cereal…
Depending on what I was eating, I could have a glass of milk with it - usually breakfast items but sometimes dinner foods. But this started to diminish for me after thirty-five or so for whatever reason.
The one I actually remember was set in Aberdeen in the 1960s, with neighbors frantically moving their cars when young Cal was batting. Couldn't find it though.
Hi Hannah (you worked with my son Seth at MLB Network). I was born in the 70's and yes, drank milk...at dinner (and we are Jewish). That said i was not a soda drinker. I don't anymore- unless its with cookies - LOL. Happy New Year

THEIR parents did (mostly) and milk was Breakfast Only
Also I only ever liked chocolate milk. Plain milk doesn’t taste good to me.
