Sugar in coffee or tea ruins it IMHO. What I really don't get though is people who add sugar to milo. It's nice, but it sure doesn't need to be sweeter.

1297814 2012-08-30 23:01:00 Yes I think Milo was created in New Zealand.

I talk to backpackers from Europe and they have never heard of it.

I think all of our Milo comes from Australia now.

Due to their larger population I suppose they have economies of scale in their manufacturing.

But who knows with our lower wages it may come back!

"In 1934, Australian industrial chemist and inventor Thomas Mayne developed Milo and launched it at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.[2] Milo began production at the plant located in Smithtown, near Kempsey on the North Coast of New South Wales. The name was derived from the famous Greek athlete Milo of Crotona, after his legendary strength.[3]".............from link given earlier, post #2.
