Thanks,  Bill, and I'd like to remind folks that what we got in those glass 
bottles was  real milk, not the watered-down slime you find today in the  
supermarket.




I had to laugh over this comment! But it also reminded me of the school  milk 
bottles provided by some federal health program between 1950 and 1955.  Those 
bottles were amber-brown in the belief that the color would protect the  
"real milk" from bacteria or other nasty bugs. I seem to recall the school  health 
officials were concerned that poor parents of the kids in my school  could 
not afford to have milk in our thermoses. The pog on those bottles was  covered 
with a foil paper that had white paper on the inner side. I vaguely  recall 
light brown lettering on those foil wraps, but no longer what it said.  When my 
school outlawed Pez machines, I distinctly recall dropping one in my  milk 
bottle to prevent it being confiscated by the school yard goons (and I then  
retrieved it from the bottle and managed to smuggle it out in one of my  Keds).
