HelpRe: Opinions of Milo
in reply to a message by MoCro
This was a major part of my childhood, so it's hard to think of anything else when I hear it.
However, Rhys, Heidi and Milo is a good set and Milo Benjamin flows well. I think it'll age fine.

I've never heard of Nestle Milo, maybe it is a British thing or maybe it was a little before my time.

This is my go-to drink! Even at work we have huge tins. YUM!!!
It's more chocolatey than ovaltine, as it isn't pure malt.
It's very popular in Australia, and in New Zealand (although they use a different tasting recipe over there).
Even thought I've grown up with the drink, for some reason it makes me think of the actor Milo Ventimiglia, or a favourite childhood movie Milo and Otis... hence i really like that name :)

It's still going strong in South Africa - I've got a big tin in the kitchen!

I just remembered that Amphelise grew up in Australia not England. I looked into Nestle Milo apparently it started in Australia and it is not marketed to the US but it can sometimes be found in the international section of the store or in specialty food stores. It is marketed to many places in the world like Canada, South Africa, the UK, and many places in Asia, most of the places it is marketed to are places that are or were once British colonies.
It sounds tasty, like a cold or hot, cocoa and malt flavored beverage, similar to Ovaltine it sounds like, though I've never tried Ovaltine before. Now I'm thinking that I should try Ovaltine or Nestle Milo.

It is tasty, but I no longer drink it as I'm a persistent boycotter of Nestle due to the damage they do in other areas (aggressively pushing baby formula in areas where it's not safe, for example). I do miss it!

Ovaltine isn't as strongly flavoured as Milo, if that helps you to choose! Less sweet, less ... obvious, perhaps? And more expensive! But also very good ...
