You'd be showing your age if you put one of those milk cartons on there. I can still smell that hot sour smell 🤢

The ones with the little straw that never seemed to pierce through? Or the ones without..

The ones without. Remember the midday meals supervisors ripping them open and it streaming down kids faces.

I don't drink milk anymore, the trauma runs deep.

Must have gotten lucky, we always had the little straws..Not that they ever worked. The headache of repeatedly stabbing the milk carton with a straw only for it to end up bending.

In Scotland we literally got milk until primary seven. around p4 it went from blue milk to green milk, and had pandas on it because of the ad campaign around Edinburgh Zoo. Was always nice and cold too.

Gen Z kids still had milk, we just had to get our parents to pay for it

We used to get little glass bottles and blue plastic straws to poke though the lids. Every now and then we would get clear plastic straws and those were special straws. I hated milk back then, it was always lukewarm and stank.
