What is wrong with milk these days? It's not milk

[Lysander]

Is it gold top or silver top? I though it was more like silver top.

I can't belive it toonyou 6 pages to try gold top.


There's only 4 different tops!


All the other variations are just attempts to make milk "more consistent" I've learned people these days hate any variance.

I tried to explain large sea salt flakes and was old that no fine table salt and its stabiliser are better as this way "all the chips are the same".

So many people want every mouthful to be the exact same


Oh and beige why always beige?

I think you see the problem. It's just normalising culinary bastardisation to the point where people can't accept any difference in anything and then they can't remember how things were before anyway. It's the Mandela effect. It benefits the large companies mostly whereas the consumer has been sufficiently duped into thinking that they like something which isn't like the thing they're told it's like.

Ohhhhh, so you're rising up against "The Man" now too. Are you against suits at weddings?

I prefer to wear shorts at weddings. Last time a total of 37 people told me how good it looked.

Its from extra creamy cows, and unmessed with but pricey and not great for baking I should warn you as the fat is higher than the recipe expects and would need a good whisking to mix it all in too.


Cravendale is for people who don't want to buy milk often but don't like UHt and who only use milk for something like cereal or tea where it will become flavoured.

Well, this pretty much explains it, thanks. It'll take creamy cows over bovine robots.

EDIT: Oh I see, silver top is now blue top. They changed it.

Milk in the UK has its labels and bottle tops colour-coded:

• Blue – full-fat milk
• Green – semi-skimmed (or raw milk)
• Red – skimmed
• Gold – Jersey & Guernsey milk

The old colour scheme in the UK was:

• Silver – full-fat milk;
• Red – semi-skimmed;
• Blue – skimmed;
• Gold – Jersey & Guernsey milk

Christ I sound like some Cravendale defending obsessive now. It's not about the milk as such, more about this turning into another one of those threads where people cannot accept that different people may like different things. Variety is the spice of life!

I think they practice voodoo.

I hear oat milk is very nice

You mean oak milk.
