When I was a kid in the early 80s, I remember having Quik chocolate milk every day after school. I used to add extra and not mix it into the milk completely so the powder would settle to the bottom and I could eat it last. It was the yummiest chocolate milk ever. We'd even put Quik on ice cream. When Quik's rival came along, Milkmate (it was a liquid instead of a powder), I never did like it. Quik always ruled. msw

Oh, don't be too hard on him. It's his only edit and it's fairly harmless where it is even if not strictly relevant. A lot of new users put this sort of thing in the main article.--Lo2u 14:48, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Makes milk fun

Not one mention of the famous slogan "Nesquik makes milk fun"? JayKeaton 15:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Banana Nesquik

I remember, it. the article mentions it still being sold. Where? The nesquik main site doesn't even list it anymore. Am I missing something? On a completely seperate note, if anyone knows of a place that sells it online, I would be very pleased to see it :) GearType2 04:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

   - Sainsburys supermarkets stock it.

I've seen it in shops other than Sainsbury's, such as independent grocery shops. Fatnickc 14:13, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grape Quik

I remember a Grape Quik being sold in Canada back in the 1970s. I recall that it didn't last long and I think I remember the taste well enough to know why. Does anybody have any proof of it's existence more solid than my memories. Jdougan 04:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fruit Quik

I'm not sure if this is a regional thing, but I saw banana Quik in Mexico. This is the first time I've heard of GRAPE Quik for sure. However, I'm surprised no-one has mentioned STRAWBERRY quick. I remember THAT well. It was sold in powder, as well as in prepared form in milk cartons. Kogejoe (talk) 03:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cookies n' Creme

Anyone remember that? It was short-lived but DAMN good.

I remember that. Wish they still had it, instead of that DOUBLE chocolate. --Fez2005 08:23, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
How can we suggest they bring it back? .. Maybe I don't want it, though, if they're gonna reduce the sugar by 25 percent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.63.142 (talk) 21:25, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I remember prefering cookies n creme over regular quick.

[edit] Jafa flavour?

There was a shortlive jafa flavour Quik in Australia in the 90s along with Chocolate, Strawberry, Banana and Vanilla.

I also have some vague memories of a "Quik Shake" which was like Quik but meant to be creamier and frothier somehow?

[edit] Quik by Region

I remember that Quik consistency was different in Mexico. It was much more harder to disolve with just your spoon, as bubbles of dry Quik would form floating on top of the milk. I remember often disolving the dry Quik bubbles with my tongue. Currently, I live in Japan, and I feel that Quik here is a bit more bland than American Quik.

If the consistency is in fact DIFFERENT by region, this wouldn't be the first time I'd hear about it; I'm often told by Australian and English Marmite afficionados that yes, the taste is completely different in Australia than it is in England. Kogejoe (talk) 04:13, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quik Packaging

My earliest memories of Quik include having to use a spoon to pop the lid off of the hard, rectangular container, and then, having to fit the lid back on again. In Mexico, Quik was sold in ROUND containers with lids that acted more or less the same as their American counterparts.

Currently, Quik is sold in similar tall, rectagular containers made of plastic, however, they are a bit more round, and Nestle has eliminated the use of a smaller pop-off lid that fits in a round opening, instead, incorporating a larger lid that is removable in its entirety.

Also, Quik can be bought in larger cylinders. Kogejoe (talk) 04:11, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name Change Resentment

From my early childhood years I came to know Nestle's chocolate powder as Quik, and resent the name change to "Nesquik." I recall the Quik rabbit distinctly wearing a round Q as opposed to the squareish and edgy N, which seems like a chore to wear around with its sharp edges, as opposed to the Q, which was smooth and round. I refuse to call the chocolate powder by its new name, and will until the day I die refer to it as simply "Quik." The only people I talk to about QUIK are to the siblings I grew up with who would understand me anyway, and I don't feel like NOT changing is going to cause people to misunderstand me. If any store-clerk DARE try to correct me by saying "oh, you mean NEZquik sir," I will promptly retort and say that "NO, it's QUIK, and do you have it. Correct me again and you will lose this establishment a customer."

Not to mention that making it NESquik adds an unnecessary 3 extra letters to the already perfect and, pardon the pun QUICK name of "Quik." Nesquik is clearly larger and more clunky.

They changed the name of "Quik" to "Nesquik." But it's perfect the way it is! You can't rewrite what's perfect... Kogejoe (talk) 04:18, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
