I Had a look at your previous questions for some clues at to what country you are from, guessing U.K. as you asked about conkers. Thus perhaps you are my age group. Gold top milk was always someone else's house. I can remember looking at the bottles with envy, wondering why we only had the silver top. More importantly there was also Red and Blue tops too. Never did know what they meant!
Anyway, "Progress" is the person responsible for replacing them all with plastic bottles or cartons.
Have a nice day.

Gold Top Milk is no longer allowed to be sold..Bo-Ho..Due to EU Health & Safety Laws! If you go to a farmers market you should be able to pick some up there, as you are still alowed to buy direct. There is also a plus here as the local business make the money instead of the large supermarkets.

I remember that as a kid with its lovely creamy taste and gold foil top. I think you will find it is now sold in supermarkets as "Breakfast Milk" which is in cardboard cartons and is from Jersey cows. Tastes like Gold Top, but not the same as having a shiny gold top!

Tesco adopted the whole blue/gold/red system, Sainsbury's had green/blue/red which confused many people presumably...I think somewhere down the line people got confused...
I think they all came to a truce and agreed blue for whole fat, green for half and red for low/none...my local Tesco still has gold-top milk for goat's milk.
In conclusion, they agreed to use gold-top for goat's milk only.

I think you can still get it in selected supermarkets, like Sainsburys. It is called jersey gold top and has about 3 inches of buttermilk fat on the top!

You can still get this milk from most supermarkets. It is now called Breakfast milk or Jersey milk. In the local Salisbury's or Asda you can find it above the usual milk... It's still as lovely as it was!!!!

It was removed from circulation becuase the fat-police were always bleating that it had a high fat content, just another example of some self appointed **** deciding whats best for us.
