Two-thirds of Wisconsin's high schools have milk vending machines. That's a higher percentage than anywhere else in the country, said Laura Wilford, director of the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board's state Dairy Council. The state has 365 milk vending machines in high schools; elementary schools generally don't have vending machines.

The milk from modern machines is a far cry from the boring cartons of yesterday. Besides chocolate, there's strawberry, cookies and cream, and vanilla cream available in colorful, opaque plastic bottles, and most of it is lowfat, Wilford said.

"Some of the machines at this time of the year offer a nonalcoholic eggnog flavor, and it is a big seller," she said.

Nationwide, there are 7,000 to 7,500 machines dispensing milk in schools, and most of those have been installed in the past three or four years, said Julia Kadison of the Beverage Marketing Corp., an industry consultant.
