Gay Rainbow Milk and Cream PitcherWho hasn't seen the Hazel Atlas Glass milk and cream pitcher which comes in blue, yellow, orange and green? A day doesn't go by that I don't spot several of these common kitchen collectibles in an antique mall or shop.

There are so many of these Hazel Atlas milk pitchers around because they were premiums (free promotional items) from Kix cereal.
The advertisement (also a collector's item) read:

Thanks for letting me know about this post. I'd never seen one of these before and found mine on ebay. A friend told me it was custard glass. Now I know they came with Kix. I love Kix even more now.
