Milk vending machine

[Clive]

Saw Adam on Countryfile filling a bottle from a vending machine and thought what an excellent idea it was

Surely every town should have at least one of these machines and a local farmer filling it ?

If your a milk producer anywhere near population what's stopping you ?

It just hasnt taken off here has it, Italy they are quite common, only a handfull in the UK and IRE though several co making the vending machines.
Perhaps here everyone wants their cut, making the product just too expensive, and lets face it, a supermarket on almost every corner, even doorstep deliveries are almost a thing of the past.

Rules and regs! Pasturising, packaging,transport, waste.....cheaper products like cola and soft drinks. I agree but it almost needs a dairy co to do it nationally!!

Going back a few years now, when the tour of britain(cycle race) used to be the milk race, this started a trend for Milk Vending machines, especially in pubs on well know cycle routes, several pubs round here had them, and they did a good trade. So it isnt anything new really.

That's the joke.........they're not cheaper. Bottle of coke, etc in petrol station is £1.50 or so for 500ml (£3.00/litre)
There should be some profit in doing it somewhere

So how much is a nice bottle of fresh(ish) milk in a "drinkable" bottle? Not some square thing with an unforgiving lid? Last time I looked a bottle of "Yazoo" was up touching that price!!

Bottled milk, doorstep delivery, farm bottled 58p pint here.Glass bottles still if you want. Had to google yazoo lol never heard of that.

Many, many moons ago, when Associated Dairies was on the go, they developed a new product of milk in a ring-pull can. This wasn't flavoured milk. Obviously trying to compete with the canned soft drinks market - it wasn't a winner, as I don't recall it being on the market for long.

I love fresh milk, but I think the biggest thing against it's popularity in teenagers is its colour. Bright white as a food colour is not cool!

Have seen/used these in france and they are a brilliant idea proper milk available outside the supermarket
