| The Denying Dutchman |
I remember my grandmother buying bottles of vla (a dutch desert) from the mobile supermarket. (Those were the days, when the supermarket came to you!)
And because of the fact that Dutch are sparing we also invented the "flessenlikker" to not waste any vla left in the bottle. 
This guy thinks the "flessenlikker" or "flessenschraper" as he calls it is a piece of genius.

I certainly remember similar bottles. The slender type with aluminum foil caps were the kind we had. The milk wasn't homogenized so all of the cream was at the top. The starlings knew about that and if you left the bottles on the doorstep long enough they'd peck through the foil and help themselves to the cream.
Amusing to remember but was rather annoying to all (at least to all non-starlings) at the time

I remember milk bottles sealed with a push in, cardboard disc.
The school milk bottles were the same, with a small perforated ring, to push the straw through. |

I do remember these too, but our dairy (the co-op) used the metal foil caps. At school, we had the cardboard disks. Kids collected these and strung them together. An excellent hobby

I was milk monitor, when the school bottles changed to foil caps.
Was allowed to use teacher's penknife, to pierce the caps, for straws. Such responsibility..... At 8yrs old!

OLD school ground jokes us country kids asked the townies Q = why was cream dearer than milk ?? A = because it is harder for the cow to sit on the smaller bottles . OK OK I will leave now and forget the rest of them |

We still have foil topped 1 pint bottles delivered by electric cart to our door 3 times a week.
Actually you can get quite a few things from the milkman these days, that occasionally they have good offers. My all time favourite thing that they deliver is compost. https://www.milkandmore.co.uk/OA_...%3fsection=10108&beginIndex=0 |

I suppose the Wife's Milkman can deliver compost to
as she gets the milk delivered in 4 liter billy/bucket delivered straight from the Cow shed along with fire wood (truckload) and Cow sh$t usually attached to overalls . and if she is real lucky she might even get to sleep with him.
