Milk is a fundamental aspect of growth in the proper development of adolescents. Maybe there are some science geeks out there that say otherwise, but it is still pretty darn good, basically liquid gold. Sorry, Velveeta.

The saying “you can’t leave the table until your milk is finished” did not get uttered by parents in households with children all these years for nothing. Milk is good, plain and simple. It is good in all its forms as well: whole, chocolate, 2 percent, 1 percent, vanilla or pretty much any kind besides skim. If someone wants watered-down dairy beverages, they should switch to water in the first place and stop drinking that embarrassment of a liquid they try passing off as milk.

One of the biggest fears is walking to the fridge after getting a stack of cookies, to open up the big, white box only to see an empty milk jug. This is why there needs to be a more widespread milk delivery service. “The return of the milkman” or “bring back the milkman” should be a hashtag on Twitter.

This trend started in the late 1700s. It slowed down in the mid-1900s because of the advance in refrigeration and the decision to sell milk in plastic bottles instead of glass, according to a Stanpacnet.com article.

Like most great things, technology ruins them. Now, milk is still being consumed by Americans at a large scale, but the need for a more widespread milk delivery service should be on everyone’s mind. Doorstep Dairy is one company trying to meet milk lover’s demands. They charge a $4 delivery fee on top of your order. They do not offer just milk to people living in Lancaster, Berks and Chester Counties in Pennsylvania, but the catalog lists cheeses, honey, meat and other breakfast items.

This is what other meal delivery services like Blue Apron and Hello Fresh do. It would not be out of the ordinary to start having milk delivered to the door regularly. And how nice would it be to satisfy your hankering for a tall, cold glass of milk on demand without having to leave the comfort of your home, potentially missing the latest episode of “A.P. Bio” or “The Bachelor”?

Maybe this is not the smartest business move. I did not run the numbers. Milkmen may never make the return to walking up and down neighborhood sidewalks to deliver the goods, but this can be solved by one simple entity running in more areas: Uber Eats.
