Bad logic

Mint Aero

People buying 2l of low fat milk when they should be buying a litre of the normal stuff then filling up with a litre of water in a jug to save money. Buy 500ml if you're a skimmed milk drinker and top up with 1.5l water.

Women. Paying through the nose for blunt razors when a man razor would cut their hair 10 times better and last 10 times longer.

So AH any other example of people making poor life decisions daily.

I don't drink skimmed milk, but I've a feeling it's 'bad logic' to assume the low fat stuff is just full fat milk + water. If that were the case, then everything would be diluted out, not just the fat. I presume they centrifuge it or something to skim off some of the fat.

Hold on, skimmed milk is just diluted milk?!

This can't be true

It isn't. Skimmed milk has the fat removed, the cream "skimmed" off to reduce fat content, rather than just diluting it.

Fat content:

Whole milk: 3.5%

Whole milk diluted 1:4 with water: 0.875%

Skimmed milk: 0.3%

Though you are also diluting all the nutrients in the milk. At some point, you might as well not bother and just add water to your tea

I agree with the razor saving tip, haven't shaved in 20 years

Where are you going to get a Pink container/carton from Mint?


Your scheme is coming apart at the seams.

Just fill up a bottle at home using the tap.

BOIL an egg to perfection without costly egg timers by popping it into boiling water and driving away from your home at exactly 60mph. After three miles, phone your wife to take the egg out the pan.

Low fat milk contains more protein and calcium in the litre than the full fat version. Water down full fat, you are also watering down the protein and calcium content instead of increasing it like if you purchase low fat and skimmed milk.

You add by subtracting? That's bad logic.

No, think about it. You need to fill a litre. A smaller proportion of the low-fat litre is fat. So the non-fat part of the milk takes up more room in the litre. The non-fat part contains protein and calcium. Hence a litre of low-fat milk has more calcium and protein than a full-fat litre.

People buying a Big Mac meal with a diet drink. Very funny Tenacious D song about it. Low fat stuff is rubbish. I end up eating more that that stuff than the full fat stuff.

Wouldn't be me, but some people just prefer the diet versions. I know people who prefer Diet Coke to the full sugar version, it's nothing to do with weight control.

What makes you believe this? I don't think it has ever been marketed as a weight loss drink. Would you prefer if they only bought the regular Coke?

If this were true then the retailer could buy 1 litre of full fat milk off the supplier, double the quantity by adding another litre of water leaving him with 2 litres of skimmed milk to sell, gaining him twice the income he would have made with the original 1 litre of full fat milk.

Obviously there is something not quite right with your diluting idea which I call 'bad logic'.

A person I know spending just over €50 in Dunnes to make use of the 10 euro off voucher - so the final cost is something like €42.

When I gently suggested (phrased as a question, like it had just occurred to me) that they could have got much the same stuff in Aldi or Lidl (where they usually go) for less than €42, the response was 'but it's 10 euro off.'

Plenty of people, myself included, much prefer the taste of low fat milk over full fat milk and indeed the taste of Coke Zero over ordinary sugar-loaded, thirst-inducing Coke.

Centrifugal milk??! Are ye high? Bleedin thick. What ya think happens? they spin milk in a washing machine til the fats gone or there's a bird in a lab coat with milk in a petri dish and she's extracting fat molecules with a tweezer!!! Har har har! Bleedin thicks. It's diluted ta feck ya gowls.

Driving further for a cheaper loaf of bead. Save 50 cent on petrol but spend a fiver on fuel .
It's a similar false economy to travel to Northern Ireland for grocery /alcohol, unless you live near the border . I don't know why people don't factor in the cost of petrol /diesel.

The quicker, modernized way of making low-fat and skim milks is to place the whole milk into a machine called a centrifugal separator, which spins some or all of the fat globules out of the milk. This occurs before the milk is homogenized, a process which reduces all the milk particles to the same size so that natural separation doesn't occur anymore.

The fat rises to the top naturally, to make skimmed milk it is then skimmed off.

That'll be why it is called skimmed.

Minty, Minty, Minty, where do you think they get cream from? They steal it from the full-fat milk to make skimmed milk.

That's what skimmed milk is - the poor remainders of cream theft :eek:

You think of that the next time you're licking whipped cream off the body of a beautiful lady, bloke or lady-bloke.

I know someone who spends hours doing the grocery shopping. Goes from Aldi to Lidl to Dunnes to Super Valu. All to save about 3 euro. Will drive miles to save 1 cent a litre on Diesel. Never any more than a tenner of diesel in the car, the fuel light is permanently on.
I've tried to ask about the diesel, "you make a 7 mile round trip to save 1cent a litre" "so what, it's 1cent more in my pocket"
