The pinky one's the skimmed
Everybody has their own particular favorite type of milk, Some like the skimmed stuff others the fortified. Those of us who are struggling with our circumference opt for the low fat variety while the skinny ones indulge in the full fat. It's a good job that the colors of the packs tell us the difference between the different grades of milk.
People like my granny, who just loves a glass of skimmed every morning (before she puts in her teeth) need that little colour coded help to make sure they buy the right one.
When I asked her the other day if she found the different colours for the different milks helpful, she said she did. "The pinky one's the skimmed" she beamed, eager to show that despite my worries her eyes were still in fine fettle. Now as I mentioned before the granny is a loyal supporter of the Applegreen brand. I asked her if she had ever made a mistake and bought the wrong one " I always look for that cute little green apple with the leaf " says she "and the picture of that exceptionally good looking cow. Sure you would want to be as blind as Ray Charles (she's a big fan) not to recognize Applegreen milk" says she. "what with the apple and the cow and to top it off the price. Sure it's the best value in the bloody shop" says she. "Any eejit can spot great value, a cow and an apple".
As I left I heard the needle bounce across the first verse of Hit the Road Jack, one of her favorite Ray Charles tracks.
There's no flies on my Granny, she can spot a bargain from 50 meters.
