International Weekend: Nestle Milo

Nestle Milo chocolate malt drink found in either liquid in Red Bull-sized cans or powdered and ready-to-mix in jars. It's very popular in Malaysia and Singapore (but also available in other countries) and if you find it in a store here in the States, it is probably from Malaysia like this 8-ounce can that I bought for 79 cents.

Interestingly enough, Milo is marketed as an energy drink and is fortified with vitamins and minerals. It also has a bit of fiber from the malt.
I don't know if I would drink it as an energy drink but it's like a pleasant, slightly thicker cup of chocolate milk with a hint of vanilla which is pretty nice in my book, especially when it's nicely chilled out of the fridge.
