Guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 Okay, but was it developed in Australia, as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 Ovo-Maltine> Ovaltine was developed in Switzerland. Funny, everything comes back to the Swiss again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 And Milo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phiketpete Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 The short answer is YES. From the Nestle website Milo has been around since 1934. Nestler had been working on a chocolate energy drink for some time but had trouble producing a fully dry product. It was a research team headed by Thomas Mayne that hit on the idea of using the latest vacuum shelf drying technology. Milo was launched the following year at the Sydney Royal Easter Show to instant acclaim and popularity. The number 1 chocolate malt beverage in the world MILO is manufactured at the Nestle factory in Australia at Smithtown near Kempsey on the Macleay river. Around 18 million cups are consumed daily worldwide. Full of vitamins as well By the way Sarisin you do not drink Vegamite it is spread on bread. Personally I would vote for 'my mate' Marmite. 14 pounds in a stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarisin Posted May 21, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 Thanks for the info. PP. I had a vague idea that vegemite was eaten, not drunk. I heard today that Milo was made with carob rather than chocolate/cocoa. Maybe that is the reason I don't care for it much. Anyway, when I see Soiled Cowboy, I plan on buying him a Milo McFloat. I have too - he is probably a few stone bigger than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoiledCowboy Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 Great info mate, this subject has just reminded me to get my next 10kg catering tin of MILO to get me thru the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoiledCowboy Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 Hey, on the subject of Maccas so-called soft-serve, do you ever wonder why people with an allergy to milk/dairy products can hoe into this stuff with gusto? Do you know what this actually nice-tasting concoction is really composed of? Do you want to know? If you do find out, you may never touch one again! First correct guess wins a years supply of McFloat(ers) - but you can only collect this prize from my local McDonalds nowhere else For Sarisins info, Marmite is a NZ(?) product very close to Vegemite but maybe a bit sweeter - Aussies love Vegemite & hate Marmite - Kiwis hate Vegemite and love Marmite !

Guest Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 I guess that the soft serves are made from: Seaweed, sugar and flavourings I think that they avoid the term "ice cream" since they do not have milk fats in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phiketpete Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 Soiled Cowboy. Now here is where i disagree with you. For me Marmite is a UK product but i would not bet the ranch on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
