Milk bars in Australia today almost universally sell [[ice cream]]s, [[candy|lollies]], [[chocolate]] bars, [[soft drink]]s, [[newspaper]]s, [[bread]], [[cigarettes]] and occasionally [[fast food]]. Most generally serve milk (in cartons or bottles) or other dairy related products. Although there are far fewer milk bars than there were during the 1970s and 80s due to changing shopping habits, most people living in suburban areas still have a milk bar within walking distance or a short drive of their home. Today, many of them are owned by [[Immigration|immigrants]] of different generations. In conducting researches on the [[Linguistics|linguistic]] changes occurring in [[Sydney]], Horvath (1985) discussed the case of immigrant milk bar owners and how diverse their social status can be. Some of them run a small family business while others own several chains. This proved relevant for a new approach to concepts of status and class in [[Australia]] as opposed to the [[United States]].<ref>{{Cite book |date=January 2003 |chapter=Locating and Selecting Subjects |chapter-url=https://doi.org/10.1002/9780470758359.ch2 |journal=Sociolinguistics |pages=23–48 |doi=10.1002/9780470758359.ch2|isbn=978-0-631-22224-8 }}</ref>
