Is there something going on with milk supplies here in Colorado? Every store we've gone to in the last couple weeks has either been mostly out or completely out. Went to a local Walmart today and they just didn't have milk, and none of the employees seemed to know why.

@AskTheDevil there's apparently a shortage of milk cartons

@redenigma time to bag da milk. @AskTheDevil

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @AskTheDevil why doesn't the US bag the milk?

Or (something I remember from my childhood)...

Ooooofff Memories of carnation milk stored in mason jars in the fridge. Before they got cold it was a hard pass.

A childhood friend's mother would mix up powdered milk and then mix it with fresh milk. It was cheaper. They had four kids.

I learned to keep non-fat dry powdered milk and canned evaporated milk on the shelf. When I lived in WV, sometimes we couldn't get out of the hollar for a while due to snow.

Canned milk tastes pretty good in coffee.

Sweetened condensed milk is what makes an excellent cup of Vietnamese coffee:

Never heard of this until now.
