"There is nothing like the taste of milk like it tasted back in the fifties."
When we lived in Ozone Park (yes, that is the name) in the (one-upmanship warning) forties, it was my job to bring in the two quarts of milk that were delivered to the door. I was warned every time not to shake it up so Mom could pour off the cream on top for coffee. This, after the six-year old me shook them up one morning just to get the milk/cream layers recombined. My little brain had no idea that was a no-no.
I have no idea when it was they started to homogenize milk, or maybe getting non-homogenized milk delivered was an option, but up until about ten years ago one company had "HOMO" on their bottle caps and I thought that was hilarious. I guess someone wised them up at one point since they started spelling it out in smaller letters. I was saving them up just for grins, see attached and no, it wasn't "OWOH." I captured at least one with the spelled out word and included it in the pictured batch.
I guess with homogenized milk being the rule, it makes it easier for companies to add water on the QT, because I've noticed the same thing ConstitutionCowboy noticed. Robinson milk was the best around here, but then they were bought out by a Texas company, and the quality went down immediately according to Terry's Taste Tests.
