Don't think it's a Laconia thing, my Dad and Granddad always drank condensed milk in their coffee. They were from East Boston. They said they did it because cream was scarce during the war.

I'm not totally buying it, my Dad was six when WWII ended. I'm guessing that it's just cheaper than cream and tastes better than milk, it's sweetened. I've tried it, it's not bad.
