New Milo Energy Drink...

[littleblonde]

I was in running late for work today, for a change, and I decided to grab some breakky on the way.

I have never been an avid drinker of milk, unless it is skim, but if it is a choccy moove or something, I don't mind it so much.

I thought seeing as Milo is pretty nice I would give that new Milo energy drink a try, thinking it would just be a choccy milk type drink.

I hopped in the car, and had a sip and it was absolutely revolting!!!! It tasted like they have got a a couple of vitamin pills and some iron tablets (which when I read the label at the back it seems that is what they are aiming for) and thrown it into the milk so it has a distinct taste of iron in it.

I had a good read of the label at the back (which I should have done before I bought the drink) and would you believe that the *one* drink has 10.5 grams of fat in it.

How on earth can you possibly make milk have 10.5grams of fat in one serve???????????? That is phenomenal.. as much fat as you would have in an entire meal!!!

So if you are thinking of giving these drinks a try, trust me, they aren't worth it :)

I'm tempted to try it now....just to see how feral it really is.

:lol:

They should use real milo instead of that powder shit.

Milo Bars rock!!!!!

:P

[digitalboy2020]

Real milo instead of powder? Are you being funny MellowD? I hope so. I love Milo bars too, just like eating it out of the tin, or putting 6 spoonfuls in a small glass so you end up with it all on the top. mmmmm

[Mellow D]

WTF!?!?! :lol: :lol: :lol:

My brain is just so fkn slow today....

I mean real milk :lol:

Now that should make more sense! ;)

[digitalboy2020]

Now I gotcha! :lol: For a second i was thinking 'Real Milo' hmmm and imagining huge plantations of milo trees with people harvesting REAL milo straight from the source. :p

[mook]

Milo drink was around a couple of years ago (I'm talking 10 or so)

Preferred the old stuff....

[Cosmica]

I reckon they taste fantastic, but sounds a like a lot of fat...

[bigbubba]

I think the drink tastes gr8 but its a disapointment that it hads to be sooo f-ing fatty! I'm sure that they could reduce the fat content but i guess thats why it tastes soo dam good just like the pigfat in soft serve - mmm soft serve!!!:tripping: :-* :tripping:

[Tristan]

those milo yoghurt desert things :offchops: . reverse psychology is probably going to make me buy one of those drinks now to see what its like.

[sarah_bee]

I haven't tried the new milo drinks.
But i just LOVE milo.
eat it straight out the tin,
or put heaps on top of cold milk then eat milo off with a spoon (maybe add more milo once its all been eaten),
or dissolve in hot or cold milk,
ever tried milo sandwiches? kinda like fairy bread, but chocolatey.
god bless milo

maybe a little condensed milk might help..
oh gosh tat sounds revoltingly sweet
:-*

[bella boo]

Stick to my V's I think.....

My breakfast every morning, it's like a coffee, only cold and fizzy.

[Crazybob]

I quite like them, they taste like shit, but there's lots of carbs and vitamins in em.

Milo = Nestle = Bad corporate citizens. you couldn't kick their products down my throat. stop giving them your money.

why? if you care, read this, (http://urbanlegends.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.essential.org/monitor/hyper/mm0392.html%23formula) this (http://www.angelfire.com/indie/twag/nestle.html) or this (http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/1992/53/53p10aiw.htm) to find out why nestle have been targeted for bans and protests for decades now. I used to love milo, still could go an ice cold glass, but my sense of social justice stops me from going there.

[Crazybob]

I just went in and boycotted them, I sent nestle some hate mail..

[nicko]

600ml of full cream milk has 10g of fat in it all by itself. they haven't added all that much..

[driload]

fat is your friend

im a busy bee, i need fat. its a premium energy supply


carbohydrates can only do so much (and are as responsible for making people fat as, well, fat is)



as for boycotting nestle.... nope. such an immense and diverse multi-national is best affected through other channels (pr, government, hippies)


V drink is what should be boycotted.... dont get me started on that crap

[herestrouble]

A whole thread about Milo!!!! :lol: How exciting. I'm such a fan of Milo Mush (3/4 milo 1/4 milk) a meal in a glass and don't mix it too much. Except don't you hate it if you 'phoof' (is that a word??) and the milo goes everywhere?!! X(

Little Blonde - are you talking about the drink in the prima type packaging? If so I reckon it rocks!

[nash]

Milo Slurpie... Put the milk in the freezer, then crush it and add milo.
oh aaah, that's the spot!

[driload]

i was once eating milo out of the (jumbo size) tin after a rave once

you can read between the lines on that one


anyway a *certain* unusual friend made some abstract joke out of nowhere and i laughed just as i was breathing IN


took me half an hour to stop choking/dying/laughing/coughing/asphixiating


of course everyone gathered around to laugh their asses off


moral?

dont do what i did


footnote: milo was coming out of my nose. another friend gave me a rolled up note and said "finish the job"

how very funny guys.... sick bastards i have for friends

I am a hippy. Why else do you think I mentioned it? You don't care about the tons and tons of dead babies (as in if you weighed the corpses, there'd be more than a few tons of biomass there) nestle has killed with dishonesty and profiteering, do you? Oh that's right, western nations have a note from america excusing them from giving a fuck. my mistake, go back to consuming the world to death.

you said "lines" and "rolled up note" in the same post. bet ASIO LOVE you dude. of shit, now I've said it too. :lol:

[Cosmica]

you think 10 grams is bad...


check out what is written on your Big M


20 grams!


Im never drinking it again.

[panda_gimp]

don't worry about the fat content in your drinks

try some panda juice for size


195 grams of fat im told ;)

while we're on the topic of chocolate milk drinks, has anyone tried the viking chocolate milk? (viking like "the chocolate bar with horns")

i had some of a friends on the weekend and i highly recommend it!

[djned]

milk with guarana?! pump that up!!! where did you see it on sale, josh?

[random josh]

we got it from the mobil service station at the high street end of hoddle street (in melbourne) - i think the suburb is clifton hill? near the entrance to the eastern freeway...

tastes just like the chocolate bar, which is delicous IMO

anyone who is mars bar fan should convert to viking, and fast :P

[kenada]
