The don of milkshakes makes a comeback: Nesquik is that you?
We thought we laid this brand to rest, but it seems it has returned...
On 21 August 2023, South Africans said goodbye to a childhood classic, Nesquik after it was discontinued.
It may not have been the healthiest item in your cupboard, but Nesquik was a childhood staple for many. A sweet drink that delivered a unique flavour and a hefty dose of nostalgia.
Although the brand was initially discontinued due to declining sales, high demand following the announcement kept it on some shelves a little longer. As a result it was selling at higher prices.
But there's good news for lovers of this classic, Nesquik is making a comeback.
Content creator, Brenden Roberts, shared a video recently whilst shopping at a Dis-Chem store where he found tubs of Nesquik on display.
According to the video, a 300g tub was retailing for R119.99, and he quickly grabbed one before they flew off the shelves.
Watch his video from TikTok below.

While some people were eager to get their hands on a tub, others were not convinced by the price saying that the drink doesn't taste like it used to.
It's tough when you see a brand that brings back so many childhood memories, but so much has changed that it doesn't feel the same anymore - it's like a bad breakup.
