I've always heard the term "blue john" in reference to skim milk myself;

that's from someone who grew up in the idyllic NC mountains. I always

thought that it was because the milk sans fat did actually take on a

slightly blue color, but that, of course, could simply have come from

association with the term blue john.



As for blinky, the first time I heard it was just a few years ago from a

friend who grew up in Texas.
