Do you remember when schools use to serve milk and cookies as a mid-morning snack?

Question

What did you raise your hand to volunteer for: passing out straws, the milk cartons or the COOKIES!!!

The milkman delivered our milk everyday in crates to the classroom. I guess we were special (1960s)

Answer 1

I don't recall having mid-morning snacks when I was in school. Maybe preschool, but not elementary school and it's been more than 20 years since I was in elementary school.

Answer 2

I remember the milk and cookie break. Parents were asked to send in a container of cookies a couple times a year. Milk was purchased from a machine that had white or chocolate. It came in 1/2 pint containers and cost five cents. Two students would take a list and the money to the machine and bring back the milk for the class. Then we each got two cookies. Juices and sodas in schools were unheard of at that time.
