Re: like going back 60 years and going out with a jug to get some milk
You don't have to go back that far.
Going out for the Milk (in a large white enammeled jug) and the bread (only edible if covered in Mllk)
was part of the daily ritual when working in parts of the former USSR in the mid 1990's. The Milk tanker would arrive and sound it's horn. People would emerge from the 'projects' and form an orderly queue (err... don't we have to do that today???) to get the milk. Hand over a few roubles/tenge/sum and your container was filled with milk that was still warm.
History does repeat itself...
