I sometimes did the same, but I grew up on a dairy farm and had milk that wasn’t homogenized.

We used these old one gal apple juice bottles that had a narrow neck, so the cream would float to the top and collect in the narrow opening.

When I got older, I actually liked getting that first dollop of cream on my cereal.

Now though, anything over 2% just tastes too heavy. Growing up on unpasteurized milk, I am amazed at what I got away with.
