    When I was a child, milk was delivered in bottles with a foil top, and it wasn't homogonised.

    When I was a child, the birds always knew which coloured foil top meant which milk...
    Hmmm, that takes me back...

    ... you just don't get a better breakfast than cereal with milk from a bottle with 2 inches of cream on the top

    Did anyone else here (Possibly the more aged) use a straw to suck out most of the normal milk first?

    I used to really piss my parents off, as i always taxed the top of the milk bottle before anyone else had a chance lol hahah I was always told to shake the bottle first, before pouring milk in the days of local dairy milk delivery, when every house had a milk bread delivery access door. In Australia's case that was up until about the mid 80's, before home delivery of milk and bread lost out to the supermarket chains...

    I remember morning-break at junior school - we had a small bottle of milk to drink (all children had to!) with a straw through the foil top... creamy bit came last if you didn't shake the bottle!
    Those certainly were the days....

    It was frozen solid in winter, a whole lot less than 'fresh' in summer and utterly disgusting.

    But, I would suggest, was one of the factor contributing to us older folk having decent immune systems (Claire's toilet seat troubles notwithstanding).

    I was told by my parents that I drank upwards of 25 litres of milk a week in my adolescence... I don't really remember frankly. Now I've mostly switched to water since HK milk is really not that good but I still consume close to a litre a day...

    I love noodle bowls for cereal, the western size bowl just don't cut it for me. A banana, half a dozen strawberries, three different kinds of cereal and 750ml of milk, that's where it's at for me in the morning.
