Update 3/11: seems to have only been a weekly special, now showing $2.65

Stock will vary between stores. These were found in the fridges near the checkouts and likely will be restocked with other drink brands once sold out

Just walked in to Coles to see these in the fridges, looked online and it's $1 on special everywhere it seems.

Apparently got a new taste I'm tempted to try out because the last tasted like shit. For $1 it's worth a punt.

Yummy cold UHT milk with additives.

Edit: seems 2 are now gone from online, but should still be $1 in store

          Honestly, used refrigerated UHT milk in coffee/tea in lockdown and wasn't appalled. Not sure how I'll go with 75% but hey worst case scenario it's a $1 bowel cleanse.

            @pennypincher98: The thing with UHT milk is that the flavour is consistent all year around. Go buy your milk from a carton or plastic bottle and you'll find it tastes different throughout the year.

            • entropysbane on 28/10/2021 - 17:12

              @Clear: Yes depends on what the cow has just eaten. You don’t pick it up in UHT because of the way the heat treatment impacts flavour.

              • Clear on 28/10/2021 - 17:43

                @entropysbane: I drink milk straight like nothing else and sometimes it just gets a flavour that isn't right. Not sure what they're actually eating to make it taste that way. It's like it's almost off.

                  Coke is pursuing a sugar reduction strategy. Probably only original coke will remain untouched.

                  I'm guessing they're probably going to reduce sugar incrementally, to adjust people's tastes bit by bit.

                  I don't touch anything except full sugar coke/vanilla coke now. The rest isn't worth drinking after the sugar reduction.

      Haven't tried it yet. But all iced coffee is pretty much milk sugar coffee powder. They advertise as no added sugar, so checked the ingrediants from their website:

      Barista Bros - Milk (from milk solids) 75%, Water, Coffee Powder (1.07%), Stabilisers (466, 460, 471, 407), Flavour, Food Acid (339), Sweetener (955).

      Compared to Breaka Iced Coffee (QLD) - Reduced fat milk, sugar, milk solids, coffee (0.5%)

      Yeah looked like the added water and using sweetener screws with the taste. Don't know why they don't just rip the bandaid off and just have milk and coffee with no sweeteners.

      • pennypincher98 on 28/10/2021 - 16:18

        This is why I like ice break best (well Regular and Extra Shot varieties) - reduced fat milk, sugar, coffee and that's it.

        • spaceflight on 28/10/2021 - 17:15

          Why would you buy it when you can make it yourself with milk and instant coffee?

          Try the Hunt and Brew iced coffees if you ever see them. Sometimes they're in Coles/Woolies if it's a big enough store. Ingredients are full cream milk, cold brewed coffee (30% total), and that's it. Most iced coffees are way too sweet for me so these are perfect since there's just enough natural sweetness from the milk.

          • tritorius on 29/10/2021 - 15:02

            @Bowna: Dare Cold Pressed Iced Coffee is my go to, I can't find the the no added sugar variety around anymore though.
            But the ingredients are simply Milk, Cofee, Sugar…that's it.

            • Clear on 29/10/2021 - 20:27

    • greatlamp on 29/10/2021 - 07:27

      Nah this is why they are successful.

      Use UHT low fat milk because it's cheaper than water, then cover up how bland it is with artificial thickeners and sweeteners.

      All the savings get invested in marketing, and this is the only product you find in vending machines.

      They even get to call it 'healthy' because the health star ratings still cling to 1970's science where fat = bad.

      If you remember the original Mother, it tasted like grass clippings. Then they added more sweetener and sponsored every redneck sport they could think of until it sold.

      It's basically this plus water + coffee + artificial sweetener

      Problem with the health star rating is there's such an emphasis on sugar so without it, it's considered "healthy"

    • spaceflight on 28/10/2021 - 17:19

      Because they have no sugar added to them.

      Star ratings are for similar products.

      This is just milk, water, coffee, sweetener.
      It is probably no worse than drinking a glass of milk.

      Other milk drinks have lots of sugar added so they will have low stars
