Sainsbury's Milk

Has anyone noticed that the 4 pint milk seems to be about 5mm short of their 4 pint approx line!!!

Weigh it, or measure when home, if your thinking your not getting what you paid for to check.

Though 4 pints is likely to be sold on average, rather than min litre.
So it can be sold legally with out actually being 4 pints.
Before people get upset about this. Lots of products with average weights on, are on average above the declared weight.

I think the key word here is approx.

If milk is sold on weight rather than litres. 4 pints (if water) weighs 2.270kg it could be 3% under 2.270kg and weigh 2.202kg and be sold legally. If weighing any less than this, it would be illegal.

Not sure how fluid measurement compare to items sold on weight.

And would full cream weigh more than semi skimmed ?

I am glad to see you have got time to answer my post, I would love to go out but as I am dying of cancer and refined to bed. I was only trying to stop the big supermarkets from short changing us.

The milk is most likely going over a check weighing before going out.
Its not worth the risk of under weighing as its pretty easy one for trading standards to catch them out with.
They will get a big fine and the supplier will loose reputation.
Mistakes do happen though.

I am sorry for my remark, please accept my apologies.
I feel very stupid now.
I have found time to read your reply and wish I could withdraw my previous post.

No problem, you didn't know. I seem to dwell on the little things in life as I don't want to look at the big thing.
