Nesquik – Powder Is Preferable

Nesquik.  It seems that Nestle is trying to make a comeback with one of my favorite childhood beverages!  But when I see people drinking Nesquik nowadays (on the train, in the street, my own friends) it’s from a plastic bottle!!!  Pre-mixed Nesquik chocolate milk!  This is the Nesquik that I am used to:

Nesquik chocolate powder!!!  Nesquik powder was a staple in my house growing up and boy do I miss it!  I remember mixing this velvety, delicious powder in with skim milk on weekend mornings while devouring a hot, fresh bagel with cream cheese.  I think I need to go to the supermarket and pick some up because there is something so independent and satisfying about mixing your own chocolate milk.  The best part about this powder is when it collects at the bottom of the glass or mug in little clumps and lumps.  Then, when the milk is finished, you scoop these clusters up with a spoon and eat them (no matter how salty the clumps tasted).  A very distinct taste with an even more distinct “clink clank” of my metal spoon hitting the sides of my glass during the mixing process.  Nesquik: makes me think of weekend breakfasts.
