Iced Milo

Over here, a large cup of Iced Milo costs $2.55. With that you can get your iced Milo in a tall transparent plastic cup. One could also admire the rich chocolately color, wholesome and rich in taste, and full of body. Most people I see just love to have their drinks changed from regular CocaCola to Iced Milo, and upsize-ed for an additional $0.60 charge.

It took me quite a while to come to an understanding why a significant number of patrons to this place prefer Iced Milo despite the additional charge. So some time ago, out of curiosity, I finally had a cup myself to see what makes this particular drink so special. The color is beautiful, smooth and creamy in texture, full of chocolately flavor, wholesome, not too sweet. The flavor and feel just made me keep wanting cup after cup.

I still can't quite understand what makes this drink so unique, it is just a cup of Milo...I can make myself a cup at home, at the coffeeshop, or even at Burger King or KFC. Oddly, everything's just different here, and I can't quite finger out what or how it is different. Eventually, I got a little tired of it, not because it isn't as appealing anymore, but just somehow, no matter how much I drink, I can't seem to get what I want out of it...it's hard to explain, and beyond my vocabulary to describe how I feel. Maybe something is missing, but what? Perhaps Iced Milo needs to be further sweetened to enhance its flavor, or in a ridiculously small serving so as to make it more desirable? Or perhaps drinking a cup with someone at the table over lunch or chat could bring out its flavor?

But I am sure, that everyone, in some point of their lives, need their cup of Iced Milo.
