I don't like the new nesquik

[oxfordcircus]

Has anyone else noticed the change? It's now kind of reddish in color, dissolves too well and it tastes like Ovaltine.

Don't be a hater... just drink your chocolate-like food product.

Ovaltine:scared Those commercials also make me run out of the room!

I'm an adult, so I haven't noticed a change in the Nesquik formula.

They changed it?? Man, I'm just about to run out, too.

I don't have many childish pleasures, but this is (was) one of them. I feel justified by some research from last year that said chocolate milk is a perfect post-workout* recover drink.

*did I hyphenate that correctly, NLP?

Yes. Here's the PR they sent me:

Thank you for taking the time to contact us about Nestlé® Nesquik®. We welcome questions and comments from loyal consumers such as yourself and appreciate this opportunity to assist you.

Nestlé Nesquik developed a new proprietary break-through manufacturing process that allows the delivery of great Nesquik taste with 25% less sugar! Extensive research and taste tests were performed in which Nesquik 25% was overwhelmingly chosen as the best tasting product. 88% of Nesquik consumers who tried the product said that the sweetness was "just right". Nesquik is still fortified to provide 33% more calcium than milk alone, is 99.9% caffeine free, and is also a source of Vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals to help build strong bones.

This reformulation caused the density (weight) of the product to change. It is now lighter in weight, however, the serving size and amount of servings per package have not changed. The new formulation does not contain any artificial sweeteners and also improves the solubility so that Nesquik now dissolves more easily into milk.

So everyone with the old Nesquik still in their stores had better stock up NOW before they are gone forever. Has the packaging changed? What should people look out for?

 

[bicker]

Less sugar? That's great!

Oh. It's a good thing I don't work out hard enough to need a chocolate milk afterwards.

*did I hyphenate that correctly, NLP?

Yes, you hyphenated correctly, but didn't you mean to use "recovery" and not "recover."

 

[oxfordcircus]

Yes, you hyphenated correctly, but didn't you mean to use "recovery" and not "recover."

I did mean "recovery," but that was a typographical error. I do not think that "recovery" is spelled r-e-c-o-v-e-r.

I have the new Nesquick and I cannot tell any taste difference. But I use a very minimal amount, about 1 teaspoon for 10 - 12 oz of milk. It does dissolve a lot easier, but it does not look red to me.

NO!!! I can't drink tea in the morning. This is my morning tea/coffee.

It's not the Quick we grow up with. Like New Coke! They should have asked before they up and changed it. I'm about half with through this carton of new stuff and it's take me seven months. Old Quick didn't last a month!

How long have you been holding onto that "new" carton? This thread is 13 years old.
