1% Milk

[bednobs]

my usual supplier has just told me they will no longer be delivering 1% milk.  Do any supermarkets sell it?

[barry1010]

Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's sell it, I expect all the larger stores do

[bednobs]

my tesco and sains dont appear to

[Neveracrossword]

My Co-Op has it...

[barry1010]

Oh!  It is showing as out of stock at Tesco and Sainsbury's, sorry

[barry1010]

It is showing in stock at my local co-op, check your local store online

[ubasses]

Sainsburys stopped selling it some years ago.

What's the other 99% ?

[Barsel]

OG the other 99% is free from milk.

[naomi24]

So it's water?

[THECORBYLOON]

It's about 91% water with protein, carbohydrates and the 1% fat making up the difference.

[barry1010]

It's just milk with slightly more fat than skimmed and slightly less than semi-skimmed

[bednobs]

it's half way between skimmed and semi. it's not like water, but to me tastes like semi

[Tuvok]

Is that the red lid/label milk?

I only like the blue milk.

[bednobs]

Orange I think

[Countrylover]

I only like oat milk which really isn't mik at all.

[Tuvok]

Never heard of or seen orange milk!

[THECORBYLOON]

It's the lid that's orange (at Tesco, anyway) not the milk.

[barry1010]

Supermarkets are changing their plastic bottle tops to white because white plastic is better for recycling than coloured.

Blue is whole milk (full fat), orange is 1%. 

Full fat is still only 3.25% fat, semi - skimmed is 1.8% and skimmed is under .3% 

 I suppose it makes a lot of difference if you consume a lot of milk every day; just a splash in a few hot drinks won't have any affect unless you can't tolerate fat in milk or don't like the taste.
