Confirmed: Australians Prefer Cold MILO

cold-milo

A nationwide survey has definitively determined the MILO preference of Aussie drinkers, and sorry to the hot chocolate fiends out there, because cold MILO has come out on top.

According to a poll of almost 90,000 votes, a whopping 65% say prefer cold MILO. Around one in four Australians interacted with the debate on social media, so it’s pretty safe to say the results speak for the nation.

ā€œWhile there is a clear Aussie favourite, and the results revealed some surprising twists, we couldnā€™t be happier to see people enjoying it both hot and cold, and seeing the passion for MILO as an iconic part of Australian life after all these generations,ā€ says NestlĆ© dairy business manager, Anna Stewart.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, results varied by state and territory for factors like weather. In the Northern Territory, 100% of MILO drinkers preferred a cold glass. 72% of Queenslanders also opted for chilled MILO, while more temperate states leaned only slightly towards cold.

People from South Australian (67%), New South Wales (66%), Victoria (61%), Western Australia (60%), and Tasmania (54%) all preferred cold.

In fact, the only state or territory to prefer hot MILO was the Australian Capital Territory, with hot MILO receiving 52% of votes. Perhaps for its icy mornings?

ā€œWhile we werenā€™t surprised that those in the north preferred their MILO cold, we didnā€™t expect that the ACT would be the only place that prefers their MILO hot, well ahead of Tasmania and Victoria,ā€ Stewart said.

A slight divide between sexes was also noted, with 55% of women preferring hot MILO compared to 45% of men.
