DO you remember when the Nesquik tub looked like this? Can you believe that Nesquik was introduced to the UK in 1957?
Me, being a 70s child, consumed an abundance of milk during my primary school days… remember those little bottles of milk that was given out at break time? My consumption at home was also quite high and drinking milk became quite a boring chore. Luckily, Nesquik came to the rescue and jazzed things up whilst adding a bit of fun. Hurray for Nesquik!

Loved it as a kid. Banana was my favourite with raspberry a close second, but not so keen on the chocolate. Can’t begin to imagine what it tastes like now thogh?
Banana was delicious 😋
We hardly ever had Nesquik at home – we were very much a Crusha household for some reason. I preferred Nesquik though and luckily they served up strawberry milkshakes using Nesquik at junior school along with school dinners. Oh and I hated plain milk as a child and loathed those little bottles of milk you had to drink at infant school. Once I took so long trying to force down a little bit of milk that I was banned from ever going near the milk crate again. RESULT! That might explain why I didn’t grow much though. 🙁 Should have asked Miss for Nesquik! :/
