NESTLE MILO - EXPERIENCES

         Nestle Milo

Milo is a beverage produced by Nestle; a company I thought was Ghanaian but now know is Australian.
As an age old brand, Milo became a household name to the extent that other cocoa beverages were called by its name.Anyone who wanted to buy Bonvita, Olvatine or Richoco, from a provision shop would say, ‘Please I want milo’ and when the shop attendant picked up milo, they would then go on to say ‘no please I meant richoco’.  Well that’s how good Milo has sold in Ghana.  Now every product is getting their share of the market. Yet there is no doubting the fact that Milo still topped the Ghanaian beverage market.




Milo has really come a long way from when sellers use to tie some in small rubbers to sell, to the mini size sachets, then tin cans and the big sachet which fills the can to the brim. I will share my experiences with the product as I go on.
I started taking Milo when I was toddler. That was our most enjoyed breakfast throughout my childhood days. My mom would scoop a couple of spoons of Milo (I can’t remember how many) into a large jar, mix with hot water and serve it with bread. We never left home without taking Milo and bread.

When I was sent off to boarding school, I was given just a tin of milo and other provisions and was assured that it would last me till midterm and at midterm I would get another. I agreed completely and gladly took it to the school. The Milo tin did not last as I expected due to the usual sharing with friends and seniors. But, sincerely, it was Milo that kept us going during ‘halla’ week(the weeks where almost all the provisions of students were finished), we would mix Milo with some gari and sugar to kill our hunger cause most of the time our milk powder had long been consumed. It was Milo that saved us when the troublesome senior wanted something to eat. We would make them ‘milo soakings’ a mixture of milo, gari, sugar and biscuits.
Milo is really a trusted brand of Nestle. Now you know about my experiences I would love to know about yours. I believe you have had your own amazing times with Milo. Milo is indeed the drink for champions.
