The Dipartiment tal-Informazzjoni sparked a wave of nostalgia today after sharing a charming throwback photo with the caption: ‘Back in time... who remembers milk in glass bottles?’

The image instantly transported Maltese viewers to an era when fresh milk was delivered to doorsteps in thick glass bottles, often sealed with a simple foil cap.

For many, it revived memories of early-morning routines, school lunches, and the unmistakable clink of bottles carried by local milkmen.

The post quickly gained attention, with people recalling how they used to return the empties for reuse; a practice that feels both retro and environmentally friendly by today’s standards. Others reminisced about the taste, insisting that milk from glass bottles somehow felt fresher.

This simple snapshot not only celebrates a piece of Malta’s everyday history but also invites the public to share their own memories, keeping these small yet meaningful traditions alive.
