Milk Caps Pins and Buttons

Vintage Milk Cap

It's amazing that something that was only popular for a couple of years, still holds this much attention in my mind. But milk caps, or you know the other thing that they're called and I can't say for legal reasons, was super fun and I have fond memories playing this on the playground in the 90s. So, this is a great shirt for anyone who happened to live in the sweet spot where milk caps were a thing.

Because many children would keep the milk caps they won in games from other players, many school districts considered milk caps a form of gambling. Milk caps proved to be major distractions from classes and the source of various playground arguments. These elements eventually led to the banning of milk caps from various schools across North America.
