One of my aunts still lived in an area that still had milk delivery in the
1970's.  I remember the metal box that sat outside their door.  I assume it
was insulated but don't remember.  They lived in Michigan.  I was never up
early enough to find out if the truck had bells or not.

The ice cream trucks that still come through my area still play music.  :)
