Nestle’s limited edition Milo Kaw is the stuff of childhood dreams

One of the most enduring memories of childhood was when a nondescript van in plain white livery with silver-hulled liquid containers loaded in the back trundled into our primary school. At the very mention that the Milo truck was pulling in, every kid in school perked up their ears and queued up in anticipation for what it offered. Whoever drove the van is just a distant memory now but it was the contents within those tanks that made us queue up in the blazing hot sun like fans lining up for tickets at a rockstar concert.

The taste of that chocolatey liquid ambrosia was amazing. It was bracingly rich and malty with that distinct Milo taste and delicious until the last dregs were tapped from the tanks. As fond as the memory was, nothing that Milo has made until now has emulated that rich, chocolate taste that we enjoyed as a child and which aficionados have dubbed as the elusive ‘Milo truck taste’. Until now that is.Nestle’s limited edition Milo Kaw is the stuff of childhood dreams 2

If you have been hunting for that elusive ‘Milo truck’ taste and flavour, Milo Kaw is it. We’ve had it hot and on the rocks. We’ve scarfed it down like powdered ambrosia. Word: It’s amazing.
