Let me tell you a Tale. About Banana Milk.
(a.k.a Sic talks too much about things not related to Banana Milk to get to the point because she feels like talking tonight… )
As avid drama watchers most of you will know, at least, through the screen, about the gloriousness (neologism #1) that is Banana Milk.
Idk where you’re all from but New Zealand has an excellent Dairy industry. Excellent. So excellent China wants to buy all our farms. Then again China wants to buy everything.
I digress.
Right, so we have a huge dairy industry, we import all over the world, and all our cows are grass fed. Our normal cheap milk is good. Then we have this fancy boutique creamery called Lewis Road Creamery, that makes, among other things, the BEST chocolate milk in the world.
That’s only slightly an exaggeration. It is honestly amazing. It was in such high demand when it was released they had to limit people to two bottles each.
Now they make more of it so you can buy more than that if you really need more than two litres of chocolate milk. It’s made with real milk and really good real block milk chocolate (from a fair trade NZ chocolate brand called Whittakers, which, if you can find some you should have it cos it’s not like Lindt or espensive (neologism #2) Swiss stuff, but it’s like exceptionally good for a standard block chocolate)
Anyway. Lewis Road = great chocolate milk.
Then, as a special edition, they started making… yeahp. You guessed it. Banana milk AND Strawberry milk. With real strawberries. And real bananas. And no artificial flavouring.
EXCEPT!
It was A LIMITED RELEASE. LIM. ITED. RE. LEASE.
And I, in all my infinite 23 years of wisdom, did not even get to buy a large bottle of this pHENomenal Banana Milk when it was out, but only bought small bottles as a treat sometimes!
And then they stopped making it.
And the only Banana Milk the Asian Marts around here have is this weird Taiwanese stuff I’ve had before that is kinda watery and not thaaaaaat good, and so now I’m sad.
Because along with the lack of Coconut Melonas in my life, I now have no Banana Milk.
😭😭😭
Wow! I didn’t expect to enjoy this story so much. I think you should consider writing together with illustrating.
Btw, I never like Banana Milk or Strawberry Milk because those which I’ve tasted so far had way too much artificial flavoring. *coughs* including the Korean branded Banana Milk. However, reading this makes me want to hunt down Lewis Road Banana, Strawberry and Chocolate Milk. And oh…I forgot to mention, I am sorta lactose intolerant.
Lactose intolerant lovers of dairy unite! Haha, I try limit myself to only *good* dairy, like nice brands of ice cream. Sometimes the things you love hurt you, but that’s no reason to give them up. Otherwise we would all be ignoble idiots. ๐
Hahaha well… funny you should say that because I do write and intend to write and publish, among other things (hopefully novels) an illustrated book of poems hahahah!
But I’m glad you enjoyed ma story haha.
Yeah, that’s partly why I loved their stuff so much! Because it wasn’t fake! I wish you find some… by some miracle. That’d be amazing haha.
Ooopsie! I’m sorry, I didn’t know you write and publish(WOW!) at that. I’ve only noticed your beautiful art pieces when you post them on your fan wall.
I found only one store selling this coveted milk but at USD6 for 300ml, I think I will be sipping it very very slowly.
I live in New Zealand. Hence the access to New Zealand chocolate and Banana Milk hahaha.
I thought you’d found some like then and there and could get it and was like *whaaaat*
*SMH at self* See, I can’t even get the hemisphere right!
When I said I found one store, it’s literally the only one on the whole island that sells this. I googled and saw it mentioned on their facebook page. I don’t even know if they have stock. If you have difficulty finding it even in NZ, I guess chances are almost zilch for me.
Well said store MIGHT have it still! They only just stopped making it here so I’d imagine whatever that store has is the last of it’s kind. You’d have to go see!!! :O

I’m in Singapore. Where are you? I’m sure you’ve mentioned but blast my memory. I vaguely recall somewhere in Europe.
We do get region food fairs every now and then so when there’s a New Zealand one, I’ll look out for this.

As a banana milk lover, this calls for a petition or a demonstration of some sort to bring back good banana milk to humanity once again. 🍌๐ฅ💪😤
