That milk right there is a store bottle milk they are the coolest of the milks you bring that milk bottle back empty to that store they'll refill that milk bottle with milk 4 a nickel they are called store bottle milks they're awesome milks they are absolutely my favorites

This is a misunderstanding of how bottle deposits work. The empty milk bottle is returned to the store and the nickel deposit is refunded. The empty bottles are sent from the store to the processing plant to be washed and re-filled. A fresh bottle of milk may be purchased from the store, but another nickel deposit must be put up. The deposit was to encourage that the bottle was recycled. The "No Deposit, No Return" bottles of the early 1950s were a quiet revolution.

No here's how it works the nickel on the bottle means when you finish your milk you take that milk bottle back to the store to get it refilled with milk for a nickel

the three cents on the bottle means the same thing they just took it back and they refill the bottle or whatever's on the milk bottle if it's $0.05 3 since that's what it cost you to get it refilled right then

I still remember returning cases of old refillable bottles for our deposit. The cost of the drink was one price, the deposit another. ranging from 1-6 cents never saw a 4 cent deposit milk bottle.
