If you were given a shopping list with dairy milk on it what would you buy?

[Katieweasel]

Would you buy the much needed treat your DW had looked forward to eating all day. Or would you, like my DH, buy 6 pints of milk assuming the "dairy" was to differentiate between different varieties of milk! First and last time DH is entrusted to do the weekly shop unsupervised!

Obviously chocolate. Surely if you wanted milk, you'd have just put milk.

@BadTattoosAndSmellLikeBooze

My mind naturally thought dairy milk as in cows milk. 🤣 But thats because I’m vegan and I have to distinguish between the types of milk as we buy cows milk and oat milk. A few years ago I’d have definitely thought of it as chocolate. 🤣

I immediately thought this way too. I'm Vegan, DH isn't but doesn't bother getting dairy milk now as he is rarely used it he just decided to use the non-dairy milks. He still gets dairy cheese.

When we were a dairy and non-dairy milk house, dairy milk would have meant a pint of semi-skimmed. But nobody in this house eats dairy milk chocolate anyway.

Would have bought chocolate

My shopping lists usually goes

Bread
milk milk
Soya milk

Milk milk is always milk milk.

IYSWIM..

I would have bought chocolate. But just asked my DH and he would have bought milk....

YABU. Argh yet another crappy list writer moaning they didn’t get what they wanted!

Dairy Milk what?

Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut?

Daily Milk Whole Nut?

Dairy Milk Caramel?

Dairy Milk Chocolate Bar?

Be specific FFS!

I would have bought actual milk too ( some people in the house can't have dairy products and some can, so to me "dairy milk" would differentiate between cow's milk and soya, oat etc milk).

If it was written as Dairy Milk I might think of chocolate though.

But surely ...... if you want someone to buy bog-standard milk instead of almond/soya/oat/coconut milk, then you'd tell them to get cow's milk. Or semi-skimmed. Not Dairy Milk.

LTB

It seems I’m infected with this idiocy too! I thought exactly the same and I’ve no idea how!

Surely nobody would actually write 'dairy milk' for milk - cows milk maybe.

I would have bought the chocolate because that is what Dairy Milk is.

They might if they bought Soya milk or something like, sometimes.

I probably would have come back with cows' milk. 'Dairy milk' means a pint of milk or more to me. If I wanted chocolate, I'd write 'chocolate'.

Large bar of Cadbury 🍫 should do the trick in future.

Milk milk is always milk milk.

Reminds me of are you going out or out out? OP I'd have said chocolate but we always have dairy milk in the house ... hold on ... seeing the problem now ...

This happened to me and my DH once!! I’ve never let him forget it!

I’d have written chocolate next to it as I know my DH would do the same as yours 😅.

However, he always comes back from the supermarket with chocolate. I hope you got your bar.

i had to read several replies before I realised you meant chocolate.
I like chocolate - but mostly plain - if I had someone to send shopping I'd be more likely to put chocolate and the cocoa content %

LOL, I’d get chocolate 🍫 Also, speaking from experience, why don’t men text or ring if there’s any doubt? I would ALWAYS do this, DH NEVER does! 🤣

Definitely chocolate - and like a poster up thread, I only use oat milk, but unlike them I would have immediately thought chocolate

I thought it was drinkable milk did first few posts too! If it said dairy milk 100g / 200g etc i’d have been ok or Cadbury dairy Or if clearly in the choc/biscuits part of shopping list would have clicked cos walking halfway back up shop for milk would be silly

I would have definitely thought chocolate but would have wondered how big a bar and bought the best value one so probably a large bar

YABU to think anything manufactured by Cadbury’s is proper chocolate and even more U to eat it.

I'd get chocolate. No one calls milk "dairy milk" unless you're specifying from other types of milk, eg. oat milk, almond milk etc.

This is brilliant!

It took me reading the comments to figure out what you meant! I am very familiar with the chocolate bar brand, but somehow I too assumed you meant actual milk I can see how your dh made the mistake. Maybe in my head I think of the chocolate as dairymilk, one word?

I have literally never, ever heard someone use the phrase ‘dairy milk’ to distinguish from almond milk, oat milk or whatever. They say ‘cow’s milk’.
