Supermarkets have done a pretty good job with all the variations of milk. You can usually identify the different ‘strengths’ with little effort. As a general rule being colourblind I’m against colour coding of any kind, but milk bottle tops doesn’t cause me a problem. Ok, some of the supermarkets use different colours, so you need to be careful which shop you bought your milk from but not really an issue. It’s a little like in ‘t old days when most people colour coded salt and vinegar crips in blue and cheese and onion in green, but one crisp maker did it the other way…
Anyway, my real beef is with Organic milk – what happened to colour coding? They all appear to have white tops… at home we have Full Fat milk for the kids, Semi Skimmed for me, and water (skimmed) for Victoria. Now when I open the fridge I just see a sea of white bottle tops and I have to read the label… jeesh! Ok, I can live with accidently using Full Fat but I might accidently pour water on my Shreddies…
