Milk Was Just Milk
In the ’40s, there weren’t any fun alternatives to cow milk. Anyone can walk into Whole Foods or Walmart and get some soy milk, rice milk, hemp milk, almond milk, or even oat milk. But no one would’ve even dared to try these dairy-free alternatives back in the day. Cow milk used to cost about 25 cents per half gallon. Today, that would amount to about $4.64 adjusted with inflation. Ouch!
