My parents rationed the fuck out of our milk because my mom would have Carnation Instant Breakfast (basically chocolate milk possibly with some additives?) every day as her breakfast and they couldn’t be arsed to buy an extra half or full gallon of milk per week.
I also grew up hating the carbonation in soda so I’d literally only drink milk or water, which turned out to be very handy in adulthood since soda is so terrible for you (and expensive! Holy crap a single box of cans is like $8 and soda drinkers usually want 2-3 of those a week! Also i just realized that’s 48-72 cans of soda a week meaning for two adults probably drink 3-5 cans a day!)
