i drink lite white milk. full cream milk is too creamy. i refuse to ever drink it. if it's all that's on offer i'll have dry cereal. skim milk is too watery. like shape. it's like milk flavoured water. the rest of my family is also quite picky with milk varieties.
so home comes mumma with a 1 litre woolworths skim milk cartoon. she announces that we'll try that because it's cheaper and the same. debbie and i have our doubts. i don't plan on drinking it.
yesterday morning, breakfast as usual. bowl of fibre plus (i'm a grandma) with lite white. water and two vitamin tablets.
last night mum asks me how breafast was. i said fine, a little curious at the question. a big smile comes across her face. my brain ticks over for a second. i say "you didn't". but she had. she'd waited for the lite white to finish and then refilled the bottle with the woolworths milk. the crafty woman. she knows her children well. and her trickiness paid off. from now on it's woolies milk.
bravo mother.
Category: Mawwwww...hence proving that lite white is also just watered down milk. it's crazy - the milk companies just thought - how can we make more money??? let's just add water, re-brand it - and off we go!!
i'm going to suggest to your mum that she buys full cream and makes her own 'skim milk' from now on

Oh and did Debbie get fooled into it as well?
