Some older homes have a little door leading to the outside where the milk man used to leave you a bottle of milk.
Ah, yes, my little chickadee, ah remember it weeeehhhhlllll.
As kids, we'd try to sneak (wet) ice out of the truck as the driver brought the milk to the back doors of the houses. My grandpa built a little receiving trap door waist-high on his back door that would hold 2 one-gallon-bottles of milk so grandma wouldn't have to bend down to pick them off the back "stoop". He also installed two oil tanks- gauged in tandem- when they converted the boiler from coal (chute was still there) to oil. Just two of many other inventions, most patentable, but he just make them for fun and/or to make life easier and more livable.
Yes I remember the milk man. We also had an egg man and a bread man. We only had one car so it was hard for my mother to go uptown to go shopping so we had stuff delivered. Actually my son has milk delivered to his house from a local dairy. I cannot imagine what a gallon of milk would cost
We succubi are significantly responsible for extinction of the milkman profession. If those guys only did distribution of milk but instead their highest motivation was to spread their DNA.
Never had a milk man, considering I lived/live in the middle of nowhere. But I've seen them in shows like Andy Griffith.

We used to get glass milk bottles delivered to our doorstep with cardboard disks for bottle tops. I used to collect the tops and play child's games with them!
Yeah I remember that, didn’t last long just like before that with the clothe diapers truck picking up those to be cleaned
I recall getting milk delivered when I was just a hatchling. Use to come in a six bottle metal framed container.
Yes of course I remember those times. Those were time of the 1990's during my childhood.
Yes, the milkman use to come and deliver milk.
My dad was a milkman for a while when he was like 19 or 20. Actually said it was pretty tough work, real long days.
We had a milk box on the back porch until the milk store opened 2 blocks away in the early `70's.
My mom would talk about the milk man sometimes that was around when she was younger.
We still do have this system here. But my family prefers buying milk pouches from store.
They still exist in UK, far more expensive than shops, I still remember when the only way you could buy milk was from the milkman,,,
we kinda have that again now, with the rise of grocery delivery services. Saw my neighbor get bags of food and 4 gallons of milk delivered on their porch by the "milk man" the other day and I had this epiphany.
Our house does have such a door, but I’m not old enough to remember those times.
My milk came from the ladies in the barn. The eggs 🥚 from the girls in the henhouse.
So no milkman!
We had that when I was a kid.
Unfortunately I do not
I remember the milkman cometh!
reminds me of the old TV shows like Andy Griffith
The milkman?
