Can't be having the same colour caps for different milk... Breakfast will be a disaster

Personally I am a semi-skimmed man. Blue is all cream, red is white water. Semi-skimmed green is sent from Valhalla.

Clear or white is easier for recycling :) I’m glad to see all the supermarkets making the change.

I thought it was so they saved money on making the caps, not having to use different colours. If thats also true i hope it passes the saving onto the consumer (ik it wont but one can dread)

Personally I'm an oat milk man. Primarily because I kept getting confused since Aldi's soya milk (yum) and almond milk (boak) have nearly identical red colour packaging, while the oat is totally different.

But... If I had to do cow juice, it's true blue baby. All the rest is water.

I think all supermarkets are doing it now. Both Morrison's and Ocado have clear caps.

All the supermarkets by me have been like it for ages. Looks like it's so it can be recycled.

If you've still got an old bottle in your recycling, keep one of each colour cap.

That's a good shout.

See, at half four this morning I had to concentrate and actively make a decision on what one to grab. It's too early for that shit...

I totally agree. I can't be trusted to make a decent cuppa until I've had at least two cuppas. It's a problem.

Every time I go to put milk back in the fridge now, I keep thinking I left the cap on the counter.

Good call on getting the filtered stuff.

What actually gets filtered out?
