All those things are a hangover from the days when a fridge was a luxury and a home freezer was unheard of. There is no milk delivery where we live and we long ago got used to keeping larger amounts of it in the fridge (occasionally in the freezer). It is now just part of our regular shop, and ironically as we get all our shopping delivered from Asda, we do now get a home delivery of milk, along with everything else.
Bringing milk to your door every day in single pint bottles is simply an inefficient and expensive way of doing it. Newer, more efficient ways of operating always replace older, less efficient ones in the end.
