Milkis Review

Hi again! :D

This is my second post for today and I'm reviewing this new drink called Milkis (btw, I'm not paid for this). 

This drink is so cool! I ordered it online via Gmarket/ Qoo10 cause I was so interested to try it after seeing it having good reviews from other people. 

Milkis (Hangul:밀키스) is a soft drink produced by Lotte Chilsung, a Korean beverage company. It combines many of the common elements of traditional carbonated beverages such as corn syrup, sugar, and carbonated water with milk to create a creamy taste; its label proclaims "New feeling of soda beverage". Milkis is available in orange, strawberry, mango, melon, banana, and classic (regular) flavors. It is a popular beverage in South Korea, and it remains widely available worldwide.

Milkis launched in 1989 with a huge marketing campaign, notably with the appearance of Hong Kong movie star Chow Yun-fat in its TV commercials.Chow was enjoying huge popularity from the success of the movie A Better Tomorrow and his saying the catchphrase "Saranghaeyo, Milkis!" (사랑해요, 밀키스! I love you, Milkis!) in his strong accent became a huge hit; sales soared and the catchphrase remains as one of the most popular.

I really didn't know what to expect when drinking it, but when I took a sip, it strangely reminded me of a drink from Yoshinoya that was blue(?) and fizzy and the white pearls that burst open when you bit into them tasted exactly like this! Anyone with me? No? No? Fine.

I went and did some research and found out that the white pearls were called yoghurt pops :D Now I remember! They tasted exactly like Milkis! Milkis tastes like Milk and Yoghurt so it all makes sense now :D Milkis is fizzy too so that is so cool! Just like drinking fizzy yoghurt-y milk... so refreshing! It can be found in Korean supermarkets in Singapore, so I suggest that you guys try it! Definitely worth a try for such a revolutionary drink!

Cheers! ~
