Sainsbury's Orange Top Milk :hmm:

Many years ago I was staying in digs down in Dorset. I can remember coming down to breakfast and seeing a jug of milk on the table poured it over my wheetabix.

GLOOOOOOOP!!!!!

Out it came in a lump. Turns out is was chilled, straight out of a cow milk.

Yummmm. You can stick your Gold Top LITE up your @rse.

Proper milk, liquid heart attack.
 
In the past year I have moved on to skimmed milk it took me a while to adjust to the taste but now I'm used to it I can't tell the difference if my eyes are closed.
 
Blue or white = normal milk, red and white striped or green = semi skimmed, plain red = skimmed, normally. Can depend on the shop or dairy though. Then there are all kinds of other messing, homogenised used to be odd but is now normal, non-homogenised with cream on top no longer exists, there's filtered, organic, and goats.

The last two are acceptable, and the first one.

Bloody stupid, if you ask me.

"OK, we need 3 colours to represent the 3 levels of unfattedness of the milk."

"Any ideas?"

"Yeah, I know, let's pick 3 colours that have the 8% of the male population that is colour-blind squinting confusedly at the lids in the door of the fridge when they get up at 7.30 to make tea for their loved ones."

"Oooohh, NIIIIICE, haven't had one that good since we did the thing with the crisp packets."

"OK, then, red for skimmed, orange for nearly-skimmed, green for semi-skimmed. Yes?"

"Yes, perfect. Shame about the blue top for whole milk...no chance of changing that to brown, I suppose?"

"Do be serious."

"OK, sorry."
