Could you tell the difference in milk growing up?

The goats milk seemed thicker than cows.

Grew up on a dairy farm with Jersey cows. Best milk there is. Would buy Promised Land milk when it first came out in a glass bottle. Don't drink much milk these days but I don't see the regular milk offering, nor the glass bottle anymore.

Definitely.

Growing up in Baton Rouge meant you drank Kleinpeter. Unless you were a cretinish Borden's drinker

I lived in Dallas back in the late 90's and Braum's is no joke.

I replied to this thread once but another thought bounced around my empty head. Government needs to get the frick out of farming. In the Seventies having a dairy farm was to own a dying business because government interference was affecting the price of milk so much. They wanted to keep the product “safe” for children while taking control of the food chain. When we talk about free enterprise, much could be restored to our society by not paying corporate farmers the massive subsidies

The only milk I couldn't stand when I was a kid and drinking the stuff that was delivered to the house in glass bottles was when visiting one aunt who insisted powdered milk was as good as real milk---------WRONG

My grandmother was a powdered milk consumer. I hated spending the night there. She would make a pitcher of “milk” for us to drink.

This was late 60’s early 70’s, and even today I can vividly picture sitting in the kitchen watching her mix that crap together.

Growing up we shopped at Delchamps so our go to milk was Dairy Fresh which might have been their in house brand.

Milk is one of those commodities I do not understand about pricing. Stores can be all over the place for a gallon of milk that conceivably came from the same dairy that just slapped a different label. Like Rouses, they have a brand called Dairy Belle that is cheaper than their private label.

Also some times the price of a gallon is more expensive than 2 half gallons at Rouses.

My favorite pricing scheme for milk is Walmart. It is the same price for 3 of the 4 formulations of milk, including chocolate milk. Plus they are substantially cheaper than Rouses lowest priced milk. So I will hit up Wally World’s chocolate milk as the best value. It is much better than that Borden’s Super Chox that isn’t milk.

Another store scheme on milk prices is recommending WIC buyers to choose the more expensive milk than the cheapest brand.

Publix 2%

I couldn't stand Borden's.

I worked in a grocery store all through high school and unloaded pretty much everything that came into the store at one point or another. Unilaterally, the condition of Borden’s milk coming off the trucks was so bad that we had to wipe/disinfect the jugs before putting them on display. Disgusting. Covered in splotches that looked like mildew and the truck smelled like really sour milk. None of the other off-brands had that issue. Will not drink Borden’s to this day.
