It's still going strong in South Africa - I've got a big tin in the kitchen!

I just remembered that Amphelise grew up in Australia not England. I looked into Nestle Milo apparently it started in Australia and it is not marketed to the US but it can sometimes be found in the international section of the store or in specialty food stores. It is marketed to many places in the world like Canada, South Africa, the UK, and many places in Asia, most of the places it is marketed to are places that are or were once British colonies.
It sounds tasty, like a cold or hot, cocoa and malt flavored beverage, similar to Ovaltine it sounds like, though I've never tried Ovaltine before. Now I'm thinking that I should try Ovaltine or Nestle Milo.

It is tasty, but I no longer drink it as I'm a persistent boycotter of Nestle due to the damage they do in other areas (aggressively pushing baby formula in areas where it's not safe, for example). I do miss it!
Ovaltine isn't as strongly flavoured as Milo, if that helps you to choose! Less sweet, less ... obvious, perhaps? And more expensive! But also very good ...
