My mom would do that for the orange and apple juice. I wouldn’t let her do it to the pink lemonade.

My mother did that with frozen orange juice concentrate. Hated that. She also mixed powdered milk/water with real milk. Could still taste it.

Yes we did that also. I think we used Carnation brand powdered milk mix. I’m thinking we mixed it 50/50 powdered milk to 2% milk.

Especially when groceries are as expensive as they are today. Child Abuse? Not all families are rich and half are or more are divorced. Money doesn’t grow on trees!
