Dutch milk something
What else is not named after "Holland"!
If you like to watch old Port movies, you may find that there is a special drink in it - Dutch water.
Things from foreign countries have a special set of naming rules, such as foreign fire potato dolls, tomato sweet potato guava, walnut courgette carrots, people who study history are very interested in their spread and origin.
That kind of simple and rough thing called "Dutch water" must be inseparable from the Netherlands, which is also the strength of Uncle Milk, let's explore it together!
<h1>Drinks that swept the twentieth century</h1>
Now that air conditioning is widespread, it doesn't matter if you sit in an air-conditioned room and eat hot food like shabu-shabu, but at the beginning of the last century, the most desired thing for children and young people in the summer must be the "shiny" transparent drink sold in the stalls - Dutch water!
According to Uncle Milk's research, this drink, which was popular all over the world at that time, is likely to be the most common soda now.
Soda was first introduced to China during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, when most of the foreign goods came from Europe, and the Netherlands was one of the most developed trading countries at that time, so many goods were named after the "Netherlands", such as the well-known "Dutch beans".

<h1>A luxury in summer</h1>
Because the Dutch water comes from the West, coupled with the inconvenience of transportation, the quantity is extremely limited, and it can only be seen at the mouth of a few coastal trade ports, so the price is very expensive, which can be said to be a luxury product at that time.
Expensive things, superficial effort can not be left enough.
The Dutch water bottle is very beautifully designed, the bottle body is like a cannonball, and there are also naughty children who call it "cannonball bottle", which can only be placed horizontally, cannot be erected, and it needs to be sealed with a cork like red wine.
The glass bottle is a little lighter than the current beer bottle, which is a little lighter than the current beer bottle, and it looks very cool in the summer.

After about thirty years, the soda bottle was finally improved from a round-bottom shell bottle to a flat-bottomed glass bottle, and the cork stopper became a metal lid, which not only facilitated the packing and transportation, but also greatly reduced the cost, making the once expensive "Dutch water" more and more accessible.
