A shopper noticed a tiny but amusing detail on milk cartons sold at Coles supermarkets.
A customer shared an image of the Coles two-litre Full Cream Milk carton and pointed out the wording on the label is poorly written.
It reads the milk is ‘sourced from South Australian farmers’, leading amused shoppers to note that the wording makes it sound as though it is sourced ‘from people’.
