Nestle Milo Energy Drink

At World of Snacks we’ve been lucky enough to sample the best cookies, cakes, candies, chocolates, and treats from around the world. One snack item that we’ve failed to give enough attention to is drinks.  We are still trying to decide if we will actually offer drinks in our international snack store.  While we explore the logistics of offering foreign drinks for sale in the US we plan on at least sampling a few for review here on our blog.  So today we are looking at the Nestle Milo Energy Drink.

Unless you’ve lived under a rock most of your life, chances are you’ve heard of Nestle. They are a Swiss based multinational conglomerate that dominates the food and beverage industry.  Milo was initially developed by an Australian Industrial Chemist and Inventor way back in 1934.  He stole the name of this snack from an ancient Greek athlete.  Nestle Milo is still offered in Australia and many other countries including Malaysia and Singapore but manly comes in a powder form.  From what we’ve been able to determine the Nestle Milo Energy Drink is most well-known in Japan but is available elsewhere as well.  Let’s take a closer look.

Our version of the Nestle Milk Energy Drink comes in a shiny green can, about the size of a normal US Red Bull Energy Drink.  The Nestle logo is in the top corner just above the Milo logo.  Below the can reads “Chocolate Nutritional Energy Drink.”  The middle of the can shows an athlete of some sort, maybe cricket or football (soccer), wearing a Milo uniform.  The bottom right corner mentions that the drink contains vitamins and minerals.  Now onto the taste test portion of our review.

Personally I tend to avoid energy drinks.  I do enjoy coffee and a little caffeine on occasion but for the most part I prefer other beverages.  So for the review of the Nestle Milo Energy Drink I consulted with several serious energy drink enthusiasts.  My personal experience was very enjoyable.  It tastes a lot like another Nestle product known as Ovaltine.  It hints towards a watered down chocolate milk with a little boost of energy.  So what did our panel of experts think?  They all enjoyed it too, not one negative comment!

So will World of Snacks offer Nestle Milo Energy Drink for sale in the US?  We still don’t know!  Once we do we will be sure to let everyone know. Be sure to leave your details to the right and we will update you if we add this snack and as we add others from around the world.  Until then be sure to check out our International Snack Store!
