Milo is in the same catagory as Pineapple Lumps for me - utterly heinous.

True, I had to point out to a hugely anti-nestle colleague recently that the Jenny Craig slimming meals she was raving about are in fact made by Nestle along with the L'oreal make up she was carrying in her bag.

I like pineapple lumps.. they remind me of pineapple cubes which I loved as a child with the advantage of not taking the skin off the roof of my mouth...& hot chocolate (cocoa) I bought some Milo for when my sons friends stay over...my son prefers coco with marshmallows

No I don't like it either. Isn't it mostly sugar? I imagine that's why kids like it - sugar addiction. I wonder if the recipe has changed since I was a kid (which was a long time ago).

I miss wild pork and cabbage or cress. I'm looking forward to having a freezer of wild venison again. Yum

Raro, are you kidding. Mum bought it for us because she new we hated it and would drink water instead.

I love milo hot and cold. Yum! We didn't even have raro growing up (that was a treat) we had that awful cordial and usually sugar free stuff but probably packed full of other nasties.

I think it's a global trend, sadly. We never had these when I was growing up, but they seem widespread like soft drinks.
