I remember when Big M was introduced in the late 70s there were so many flavours:

Chocolate
Strawberry
Banana
Iced Coffee
Caramel
Egg Flip
Blueberry (my favourite)
Honeycomb
Chocmint

There were a few others but I can no longer remember. Anybody has a better memory than me?

Chocolate... but Big M isn't that great...






There's no flavoured milk that comes close to the Supashakes! They rock. There's also a caramel flavour and a banana flavour, but the top ones are the best ones... mmm Cherry Ripe, Crunchie... Chocolate.... mmmm

I must buy some tomorrow!

(Supashakes were my breakfast for like 2 years when I was going to highschool... and 500mL of supashake is more effective then a bowl of cereal IMO).

I was so glad that FUIC has made it out of SA. Made my stay in Geelong even better!

Sounds like this "Farmer's Union" is some kind of Wog thing.

Havn't tasted it myself, although I do like IC.

I'd have to say FUIC as well.
And no it's not a wog thing (cos I ain't no wog).

The Cadbury Supashakes are nice as well (the Cappucino ones) ... but a bit sweet though)

Big M is pretty weak.

I am partial to IC - Strong Iced Coffee as well.

IC Iced Coffee being strong is one of the reasons why I like it.

But sometimes its nice to have a bit of a variety.

I was brought up on Big M, I moved to SA and experienced the FARMERS UNION ICED COFFEE. Never go back to the sweet sickley Big M..... Just wait till the rest of Oz gets the taste for Farmers Union and Coopers Pale ale... All hell will break loose!

Years ago Farmers Union made a Vanilla Malt that was out of this world ,unfortunately I was the only one drinking it.

So I became a Farmers Union Iced Coffee addict instead.

First thing I always do when I go to Melbourne is scull a Big M Chocolate Milk. I like it because it is not as sweet as the crap they sell here. Plus I can honestly say I have never had an Ice Coffee in all my life, not interested in the stuff.

Hope they start selling Big M here..
