Poll: Which Milk do you drink?

[Ciphon]

I've been wondering about this for awhile - which milk is the most popular amongst OcUKers?

I don't mean brand - I mean fat content.

1% - Orange Lid
Skimmed - Red Lid
Whole - Blue Lid
Semi-Skimmed - Green Lid
Soya
Gold Lid

I used to be a Green Lid man, but I've recently switched to Blue - at the request of my girlfriend. Blue is apparently better for you because of the amount of sugar they put in all the others to make them taste alright.

Maybe a poll could be added?

Semi-Skimmed for hot drinks and cooking. Whole if I'm drinking milk on its own.

 

[Luseac]

Skimmed.

 

[Podmonkey]

Blue. Rest is just water.

 

[Azza]

Semi-Skimmed - Green Lid

 

[SpeedFreak]

Green, but you're missing gold from your list

 

[BigglesPiP]

Blue, sometimes have gold top on my cornflakes.

Interestingly people at work today were mixing red and blue to make greeen, which goes against everything I was taught at primary school.

 

[Inquisitor]

Orange.

Red top for me and the missus, blue top for the little one.

I grew up with Blue as my mother told me kids need full fat milk whilst growing. When I was an adult I switched to Green as that was what you "should" do. Or use the Red.

Theres an alternative opinion for you

 

[kibblerok]

Green - and it has to be organic

 

[Glaucus]

I can't believe no one has picked up on the sugar, absolute rubbish.


Senior skimmed although rarely buy milk.

Erm. Ive not looked at the back of a bottle of milk but afaik there is no added sugar at all. It has Lactose in but i'm pretty sure thats a) natual and b) in all milk.

Your GF wants the blue top because it tastes nicer because of the added fat. Nowt else.

I've only ever had semi skimmed. Skimmed is just too watery for me.

 

[Danthus]

Blue top, organic.

dairy council says what utter BS

http://www.milk.co.uk/page.aspx?intPageID=197

check the pdf... 0.1 grams more sugar for semi skimmed and 0.2grams for skimmed per 100grams compared to full fat milk....


your GF likes hearsay and rumours?
