It's a chocolate drink, maybe like Quik? Americans like sweet drinks, so it better have sugar! More from the net: What is the difference between Nestle's Nesquik and Milo? Do they use powdered milk? Both are produced by Nestle's but Milo is a malted milk chocolate item whereas Nesquik is simply chocolate, not malted. Both are a powder and usually mixed with hot or cold milk or water or a combination. ....... yep ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) I don't get it. Miles per hour is a measurement of speed, normally used in reference to a motorized vehicle. Bunnings is a hardware/garden supply store, and snags are sausage. My car will do 125 mph. YEAH, WELL MINE WILL DO 176 HOT DOGS PER WALMART. If that makes sense to y'all, you really do talk funny.

Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Dear Uncle Alpo, First sausages AIN'T hotdogs. Second Bunnings is more like Lowes or Harbour Freight. Bunnings has a (sort of) tradition of allowing community groups to conduct a "sausage sizzle" outside their front door on both days of each weekend to raise money for themselves. I think Bunnings even supply the equipement. There seems to be some sort of roster as to which community group is next, school groups, scout groups, model train clubs Mens Shed, and a host of others. On my way to my shooting range I can stop at McDonalds for breakfast or I can stop at Bunnings and help finance a local worthy community group and still eat just as healthy ..... 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
