I’m going to run out of milk for my coffee.
I can’t believe I’m going to say this:
I wish I had a jug of milk or at least a carton.

You can’t “return for refund where applicable” in Ontario FYI.
No deposits on pop cans milk jugs. Only beer bottles and… Something else that I forgot.
In BC it’s basically created jobs for the homeless.
I’ve had my windows smashed twice… All that they got was a 10c pop can

Milk jugs are returnable. Beer cans are (not pop which makes no sense)

When I was very young we used to get money for penny candy by collecting and selling pop cans to the recycling depot.
Who’s turning the cut now? 🥸
I did too 
, E.B. was the owner of the candy store, never did find out what that stood for, lol… Ahh, when youth had a little drive, eh? 
That said, I haven’t seen penny candies in 3 decades or so, hahaha

We also used to steal empty 24ers from the sides or people houses and return the bottles.
That’s a lot of penny candy. I got busted in grade 5

Hahahaha I could have used you back in the day. I was always hiding my empties behind our shed (I was 6’ 5" and 14, I could buy boose in liquor stores without being asked for ID, I had a lot of empties 🤦). Life was grand, until dad found my stockpile

We got busted for taking beer down to the valley and we had to furiously explain that we didn’t drink beer we ate candy.
Ratted out by jealousy.
I had to wear a shirt and tie and slip in with the after work downtown crowd to get booze from the liquor store. Worked every time.

We were almost in really big trouble.
The liquor store move was a good one. There were other ways but that way was perfect.

Saved ya all the “fees” of getting someone to boot for ya too
LOL, getting in shit for returning empties to buy penny candy… Yeah, you and I would have got into a lot of trouble as kids together, lol… I was always getting in shit for something, but I was legit being “innocent” in it. My older sister was such a pain in the ass, as I said to her one time, “because of you, I’m getting into yrouble for stuff I haven’t even done yet!”. Of course, all she heard was the “yet”, which found its way back to mom and dad and got me in more trouble

I was in trouble so often that being in trouble was not really a big deal. “Oh no! I’m in trouble!”
My younger siblings played that game very well on me.

In comparison to my sister, I was an angel and never really did anything (or, more accurately, never got caught doing anything) that required much attention… I 100% skated under the radar and did pretty much whatever I wanted. My sister was very reactionary, I was much more methodical

When I first moved to BC every time I took a drink of something it reminded me of Kramer loading up the mail van with empties.
