It is a terrible tasting chocolate beverage, served either hot or cold.
(It is almost a sin to call it chocolate!!) When I was in my younger
teenage years, my parents brought me to the US to visit their friends. I
remember being served a drink called 'Ovaltine.' I believe at the time
that I found the two quite similar.

'Milo' can be found in most supermarkets outside the US. They also
market a chocolate bar with the same green wrapper and logo.

Give me Hershey's syrup any day!
