diabetes has never been so cheap!
Oooh, great price! Might be time I bought some to experiment making an original Milo Bar myself ie. compressed Milo covered in Milk Chocolate… no stupid caramel or crunchy bits, just simple perfection. Hmm, the wheels are already turning…
From the recent Shonky Awards 2016…
Nestle's Milo was among three food products handed a Shonky this year, noted for its 4½ star rating, which only applies when mixed with skim milk - a fact, Choice said, no consumer would ever guess.
The consumer group found the "delicious chocolate dirt", made up of 46 per cent sugar, actually received 1½ health stars when assessed on its own and was not a "core dairy product" as Nestle had claimed.
…don't get me wrong i still love the stuff but they could have mixed it with a few litres of water and given it a 5 star health rating.
Many consumers ideas about Milo are completely based on marketing so therefore these people consider Milo a health food for children's exercise.
I don't know what 4 1/2 star rating you're talking about but is it a food industry created rating system to dupe people into believing that Milo will not harm children?
''The Health Star Rating system was developed by the Australian, state and territory governments in collaboration with industry, public health and consumer groups''.
So food industry created.
Of course. Like with packaging, companies will change that all the time to "drive sales". But if the Government says they need to change packaging because their product is all sugar, all imported, unsafe for human consumption - they'll kick up a huge stink about how "expensive" it is.
"no consumer would ever guess" Of course not. There's no need to gues. It says skim milk on the nutritional information.
Exactly. Clearly says when made using skim milk
If you can't get to an IGA then Woolies has it on special at the moment for $9 for the 1kg tin (so slightly more expensive at $0.90 per 100gm)
Thanks. anything less than $1 per 100g is when I stock up.
Isn't it this product got one of the choice awards for worst products?
Why neg? You either agree it's shonky and don't buy it/feed it to your kids. Or as an ozbargainer you ride the wave of negative publicity /lost sales and look to pick up a years supply at the next coles/woolies half price sale.
Totally agree with this. Whilst I would never feed this to my child, or consume it myself, this IS a good deal for chocolate flavoured sugar! Get it into ya!!!

That's around 65 cents per cup of Milo, great value.
