We had our milk delivered in the 50s. The milk was delicious with a bubble on the top of the glass bottles containing actual cream. Wonderful taste to homogenized milk when ice cold. Doesn’t taste the same at all today.

Thanks for this! The history in the show feels so realistic to the era, I always hated how 1920s era media has always been overly-glamorous and ignored the realities of the depression, this show delivers such a great realistic portrayal its amazing, even down to the famous cases of the time! Great job to these two for their awesome work, awesome interview! I also have a secret theory that the creators of the show are Socialists because the classist lens in the show is SPOT on and truly informed!
