Subject: Remember when...............

Written By: Moon444 on 11/04/07 at 12:15 pm

The soda man used to deliver soda right to your front door?

I don't know how popular this was but when I was a kid in my neighborhood, the soda man used to deliver quart bottles, 12 to a pack, in many different flavors.

I remember not being able to choose which flavor I should drink first. 

Anybody else used to get their soda delivered?

I kinda remember, the company was called Soda Shop or something like that. I remember going to a party at my friends house and they had 12oz. bottles of different flavored pop to choose from.

I think I saw a van delivering pop fairly recently - wish I could recall whether it was here or back in the UK.

I forget whether it was Good Morning America or some other morning show, but the did a story on Milkmen making a comeback. Eggs, cheese, milk, and maybe bread, being delivered to your door.

I have no recollection of soda pop deliveries.  I have only the faintest memories of milk deliveries.

Actually it was the milk for work.  I have no idea what happens now.  I couldn't get hold of the milkman before I left!

I expect they're intelligent enough to work out how to cancel the milk if they want.  And how to refill the teabag supply.

In the meantime, there are a dozen cats that have squatted there, and are living high on the hog on free milk...

We also used to get bread delivered in the mornings always at around 4am.

Milkman would come at 5am.

The soft drink man would come at 10am.

and the fruito (fruit delivery man) would come at 1pm.


We used to get a LOT of stuff delivered back in the 70's.

I don't remember the soda man,  but in our neighborhood the breadman (came straight from the bakery the bread was still hot when you got it) & milkman use to delivery to your house.  So did the deli, drug store, and market.  And doctors made house calls! (totally of unheard of now, and,  yes I'm that old.)

Keep in mind, that the difference between American and British groceries is almost like it's different countries or something...

The true difference is about five years, whatever is available in the US is later made available in the UK.
