You could not buy beer in the grocery store in KY on Sunday, either, until just very recently. Gatorade is on the same aisle. It must have changed during COVID because the plastic "drapes" that used to go over the side of the aisle where the beer is are gone now, and the lights
are on in the coolers.
I think of the meme where the bottles of "water" are now filled with wine, and the priest quips "He did it again". <G>
Back in the 1970's (or real early '80's?) during the nationwide truckers strike, they were allowing trucks with necessities (like milk and other
food) to continue to transport their goods. Other truckers who tried were
open to being harrassed and even having their trucks destroyed. I remember this because my uncle, who drove for an independent non-union company, was
very concerned about driving during that time. I think the company had to shutter until it was over.
At any rate, I have heard rumors that there were some trucks that were
marked for things like MILK but that were actually carrying other substances, such as gasoline and even steel beams!
I was around 10 years old then. Someone who was a little older might
remember it better.
