Haven't had Milo in a while. Felt like having some when I saw it on the shelf at the convenience store this morning so I picked up a pack.

I recall seeing the commercial on TV while growing up. It was being promoted as the food drink of champions back then. I wonder if the slogan has changed since then.

I may not be a champion in any way or form but I surely enjoyed having a warm cup of Milo today.

According to research, Milo was invented in 1934 by an Australian chemist called Thomas Mayne. It was named after a Greek athlete, Milo or Croton, and produced for the first time in New South Wales, Australia.

People usually mix Milo with milk and water and have it hot or cold.
How do you usually have your Milo?

What's your favorite warm beverage that brings back memories of your childhood?

Yeah, be it a known hero or not, the Milo chocolate drink is for everyone. I can tell you that Milo still inspires people to be the best that they can be, just like the claps on the advert.
Enjoy your Milo drink.

Thank you @ddn688.
I think it may be also be good way to get my kids to drink milk and increase their calcium intake.

Yeah, that's right. Mixing milk and Milo when preparing beverages for kids is a great way to build the immune system.

Milo! My favorite childhood drink was Horlicks. Even now I wish I could find some. I tried ordering online but realized it would be coming all the way from England with very heavy shipping costs. Some years ago, I went to Hong Kong and saw it as a menu item at a restaurant. I surely got a cup. 😃
Sorry but Milo wasn’t my favorite.
(I didn’t like it😆)

Yes!! Things change up. I remember the old one. Lol! Some years ago in Jamaica I saw a different packaging as well. Hey! Horlicks nice Yu nuh! 😂Yes man, I used to put it in my hand and lick it. Haha!!! When I mixed it, I would put a lot in the cup so that it was extra creamy. Affi taste it good. Lol!
I didn’t fancy Milo and Ovaltine.
Right now I'd work with any of the packages, old, new or newest. 😂😂

That's okay @fruityfruitz.
There is no need for us to like the same hot beverage. Horlicks was definitely one I had as a child too.
I think the slogan was Horlicks keeps me fit.

Horlicks!

I have drank Milo, not too often, occasionally. Not in my childhood, rather in the adulthood, with cornflakes I think.
