Because of the world cup, milk and grapefruit juice have the same design now

[u/anon4hlp]

[u/Any-Celebration-6566]

I feel like the massive grapefruit on one of the packages is a good indicator which is which

[u/BrosefDudeson → u/Any-Celebration-6566]

Don't underestimate the autopilot function people have in the morning

[u/louis1245 → u/BrosefDudeson]

Luckily, they don’t put the Grapefruit juice Next to the milk (at least not in my Edeka)

[u/YonaiNanami → u/louis1245]

And since when your personal fridge stands in edeka? It’s not about accidentally buying the wrong thing but accidentally taking the wrong one out of the fridge at home.

[u/No-Victory3764 → u/louis1245]

Does Edeka make fridges now? In my Bosch fridge milk and juice cartons stand next to each other.

[u/Un_OwenJoe → u/BrosefDudeson]

Nah my autopilot is to look at the pack too see if I pick the right one

[u/_Bisky → u/Any-Celebration-6566]

Or the prints about hoe the cows are held.

Or the pretty big text.

Ussually Milk and juices are also in 2 completely different parts of the supermarket. Juices are with the rest of drinks. (Water, softdrinks, alcoholic beverages). And milk with other dairy products

[u/No-Victory3764 → u/_Bisky]

Yes, but in the fridge at home they'll likely be standing next to each other, or close to each other at least, with the bottom 1/3 covered by the rack.

[u/anon4hlp → u/No-Victory3764]

Correct! It's funny everyone is pointing out that you can figure out which is which, of course you can. But grapefruit juice is usually not a white box but blue and orange so if you just grab the first white bottle in the morning you have to now pay attention which one you take

[u/No-Victory3764 → u/anon4hlp]

You gotta pay attention to the different players being featured lol

[u/Enog → u/anon4hlp]

Simple solution, grab a permanent marker and put a big X on one of them (your choice which). Then when you want that one, grab the carton with the X

[u/RichVisual1714 → u/No-Victory3764]

I imagine my wife pouring grapefruit juice into her morning coffee XD

[u/No-Victory3764 → u/RichVisual1714]

That's how you discover a weird food combination that tastes good!

[u/Cool-Newspaper-1 → u/_Bisky]

It’s not about the supermarket, it’s about opening the fridge in the morning and pouring it into your cereal bowl.

[u/RugbyEdd → u/Any-Celebration-6566]

Jokes on you, that's the milk

[u/Beartato4772 → u/Any-Celebration-6566]

There are also some subtle but important word based clues.

[u/Oberndorferin → u/Any-Celebration-6566]

I see myself picking the wrong carton out of routine.

[u/lovellyophelia → u/Any-Celebration-6566]

Bold you to assume the OP will read past milk before pouring. 💀

[u/Deepdishdicktaster]

Die sind nicht mal annähernd in der selben Abteilung

[u/angloswiss → u/Deepdishdicktaster]

Aber zuhause im Kühlschrank schon. Vor allem am morgen funktionieren die meisten Menschen nur mit den "Autopilot". Vermutlich hat OP den falschen Karton aus dem Kühlschrank genommen und muss jetzt seiner Cornflakes mit Grapefruit Saft essen.

[u/Deepdishdicktaster → u/angloswiss]

Daran hab ich nicht gedacht

[u/asherthepotato → u/angloswiss]

Ohuuu, ich hab eben auch nur dran gedacht, dass es im Laden doch 0 Verwechslungsgefahr gibt. Aber klar, Zuhause siehts dann anders aus... Oder eben gleich :D

[u/justanawkwardguy → u/angloswiss]

Pro tip: don’t store them directly next to each other

[u/_Bisky → u/Deepdishdicktaster]

Und sehen halt netmal groß gleich aus.

Halt nur die Deutschland Flagge, DFB Logo+ Nationalmannschaft print. Und selbst das ist nicht gleich

[u/boldpear904 → u/Deepdishdicktaster]

Äch jojo

[u/IamFarron]

If you get confused about the giant grapefruit when you want milk

You have different problems

[u/TeacherImpressive293]

[u/ydkLars]

Everyone is cracking jokes... Until they grap the carton from the fridge to pour juice in their coffee!

My tired ass would absolutely make this mistake in the morning only to realize what happened on the highway when i take a sip.

[u/oudepantoffel]

That's why we learned to read at school.

[u/mrafinch → u/[deleted]]

That's something else

[u/_Undecided_User]

Oh man I would hate to accidentally get milk when I'm trying to get my grapefruit juice. I love grapefruit

This is now a German Post. Danke for your cooperation.

[u/Nopeisawesome]

These type of milk is always funny to me because there’s no cow on the packaging so I like to imagine that some clueless person probably thought that they milked the footballers and sold it.

[u/Exotic_Butters_23]

Man kann sie trotzdem gut unterscheiden... Wegen dem offensichtlichen Abbild einer Grapefruit...

[u/eepykiraz]

Everybody's joking but I've never seen juice in a white carton. It feels wrong...

[u/vctrmldrw → u/eepykiraz]

I hate to break it to you but plastic jugs is the weird one. Most of the world uses recyclable tetra pak style cartons now.

[u/anon4hlp → u/vctrmldrw]

This Grapefruit juice is usually in a blue and orange package though. They just changed the colours for the WC

[u/vctrmldrw → u/anon4hlp]

Our cartons are usually pretty similar except for the writing on the front and a big picture of the relevant fruit. We do ok... it's certainly never struck me as anything infuriating.

[u/No-Victory3764]

What's slightly more than "mildly" infuriating is the amount of geniuses here pointing out that you can tell them apart, or they are sold in different sections. No shit, Sherlock.

[u/anon4hlp → u/No-Victory3764]

Yeah I wasn't aware the design department of edeka had such a strong lobby here on Reddit.

[u/SpeedBlitzX]

Imagine someone adds grapefruit into the coffee thinking if was milk.

Or grapefruit into their tea thinking it was milk.

[u/YonaiNanami → u/SpeedBlitzX]

For someone who doesn’t like milk in tea the grapefruit idea sounds definitely better anyway xD

[u/thisismyaccountsoyea]

Is the milk the one with or without the giant grapefruit on it?

[u/UGMadness → u/thisismyaccountsoyea]

It's grapefruit flavored milk

[u/ramriot]

They also taste about the same if you are patient.

[u/Desperate_Turn8935]

Must be really hard for people to read stuff these days...

[u/puerrotuerto]

Forbidden Cappuccino

[u/anon4hlp → u/puerrotuerto]

Me after a sip:

[u/Slahnya]

But they don't, it's very easy to distinguish

[u/koltywolty243]

Me when I can’t read

[u/ACPlay18]

You can read, right?

[u/Schrankmaier]

konnschde ned lese, buh? muschde haldemol di glubbscha uffmache!

[u/Krustenbaecker]

Danke Merkel1!1!1!1

[u/elfy4eva]

Hmm grapefruit juice over cereal.

Let them cook!

[u/LunaticSquirrel1]

Digga ess Käse 

[u/anon4hlp → u/LunaticSquirrel1]

Wenn man beide mischt, kommt bestimmt etwas Käse ähnliches raus

[u/Ok-Calligrapher-9703]

Ist das Spritzmilch?

[u/teomore]

you mean cow juice

[u/lovellyophelia]

One sip of that milk with your cereal and suddenly it’s a punishment, not breakfast 😭

[u/lonely-live]

People gotta pay attention to what they’re buying

[u/werewolf-luvr]

I mean. No? You can very clearly see the difference at even a simple glance.. ones got a fruit on it right in the front and center

[u/j0nnnnn]

You have a different definition of "same" to me

[u/Whooptidooh]

Aside from the obvious grapefruit pictured on the right carton, it’s also literally spelled out what’s inside.

[u/Rickybobbie90]

Can you not see the huge grapefruit on the front or read the word ?

[u/veskishosa]

Going home realizing that instead of milk you got juice would be really stupid...

[u/xcapaciousbagx → u/veskishosa]

They probably just pulled the wrong one out of the fridge.

[u/Dukemaster96 → u/veskishosa]

That can't really happen accidentally because there is no edeka where milk and juice aren't in different corners of the supermarket.

[u/odmirthecrow]

Hey, so why did they start putting pictures of grapefruits on the milk? Like, what do grapefruits have to do with milk? Do cows eat grapefruit or something?

- OP, probably.

[u/didimdimi]

Where is this infuriating?
