One is semi skimmed long life milk, the other is long life semi skimmed milk. It’s plain to see.
The packaging, those little plastic capped containers are more expensive.
And if you look at the nutritional values per 100ml on Asda’s web store the ‘Just Essentials’ one has
2 less calories
0.2g less fat
0.2g less protein
0.2g more sugar
They’re both “Sourced from Arla Foods The Dairy Cooperative.”
I wouldn’t say that warranted almost twice the price, but they are slightly different products.
51p.
One’s a c*nt to open
One is 50% dog milk.
The green one is less than 2% fat
I can’t differentiate one from the udder
Well both are UHT so both will taste shit, and unlike any fresh milk.
So…no difference.
But one costs more than the other.
One has a lid, the other likes to leak all over your fridge.
One will actually be in stock
Happiness of the cow
One of the differences is the amount of quality control each goes through. The cheaper one will be barely above the legal minimum, the more expensive one will have additional quality control checks (more paperwork too).
Also, the amount of reprocessed milk in each will vary. Imagine a batch of milk goes through production, then at the end they find the barcode didn’t print correct. The supermarket won’t accept the batch because of the incorrect packaging, but the milk inside is still good, minus a few hours of shelf life. So the processor will mix that milk back into the next batch, but there’s percentage limits on how much of a batch can be reprocessed milk. The more expensive milk will have less reprocessed milk.
This isn’t brand specific, or even milk specific. It applies to much of the food industry.
The difference is 51p.
You get a free giggle buying the Asda one at that price, and this other will make you mutter.
the just essentials milk comes from scouse cows
One is yellow and one is green
Other has powerpoint graphics cow and other has creepy ass coww
Marketing
I would assume nothing. The ASDA yellow packet products, are from their budget range. That is the only distinction, other than the price. Tastes may vary.
I’ll work the difference out on my cowculator.
The cheaper one is a very slightly diluted version of the other but there’s some retail psychology involved that says if there’s a very cheap version of something people tend to buy the next step up to appear more affluent.
Milk was a bad choice.
The one on the left is… malk?
Check out the just essentials lasagna sheets versus the ASDA ones. Identical in every way, ingredients, packaging, nutritional info etc. But one is yellow and 10p cheaper.
They probably treat the cows even worse on the farm the cheap stuff comes from.
Nothing they’re both equally shit
What’s the shelf life on both? I’d imagine that the more expensive one lasts longer due to the more expensive packaging
In the first one the cow is oblivious, in the second it knows what you’ve done
One is homogonised and the cheaper one isn’t.
The orange one will never be in stock so the Asda cunts can claim they’re cheap whilst forcing customers to trade up. Please shop anywhere else.
For reference if you buy the green ones in bulk (the box of them) the unit proceeds drops to around 90p per litre.
Noticed yesterday when I picked up a box.
the packaging – one employs a graphic designer!
The one on the right looks more appealing so snobs won’t buy the smart price brand as it looks cheap, when in reality it’s probably from the same farm and cows
I don’t understand why people buy this milk. You can get 4 pints of regular semi skimmed milk for £1.45 (this is about 2.2L). Theres rarely a milk shortage in supermarkets , you might as well just buy the chilled one as and when needed
Ones cheaper
That is logical thought. Supermarkets, however, profit off the majority of their patrons’ poor decision-making when choosing an item off the shelf. To be more precise, they invest a great deal of money in determining how to eliminate the “rational” from your decision.
The cows are raped equally. Nothing to worry about here.

The farmers get paid less for one of them?
