    It is unfortunately owned by Nestlé these days however it wasn’t invented nor originally marketed by them. It was originally invented by an Australian as a way to improve the diets of kids during the great depression.

    Like a lot of good iconic Australian brands they sadly sold out to American conglomerates over the years.

        Well I’ve been on the planet for 40 years and it hasn’t changed in that time as far as I remember.

          It changed a few years ago, I believe to improve its nutrition. The change was unpopular in new Zealand and now there is new milo and original.

            Taste and texture. I don’t drink chocolate milk these days for the nutrition anyway.

            They don’t sell the new milo where I am and they better not or there would be riots.
