Okay - so, I realize that Nesquik goes back waaaayyy further than the 80s (1948, to be exact), but I just had a mental blast from the past sponsored by the news that Nestlé is planning to release a new Nesquik flavor in June. It's got me reminiscing all about a cold glass of milk with a couple of heaping spoonfuls of that pale strawberry powder mix that turned your glass the prettiest pink hue - everything about it was a vibe that matched my puff-paint splattered t-shirt, beaded bandana, and my perfectly coiffed, four-inch tall "mall bangs'' courtesy of (half a bottle) of Aussie Sprunch Spray.
Nesquik's new flavor won't be turning your good ol' glass of 2% a delicious (and perhaps a bit questionable) pastel color, but it might make you reminisce about your favorite summertime trips that involved delicious churro treats (Disneyland, anyone?). That's right, Switzerland-based Nestlé is dropping a churro-flavored milk bomb!
Coming soon to a Walmart near you, this new Nesquik capitalizes on the churro-flavored trend that doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.
Jacqueline Jimenez, the senior director of marketing at Nestlé USA, said, "Consumers drive what we do, and the launch of our newest offering, Nesquik Cinnamon Churro Flavored Powder, is no different. As demand rises for indulgent and unique flavors, this product provides a first-of-its-kind offering from Nesquik, introducing the delicious taste of cinnamon churro to your nutritious glass of milk."
Like Nesquik's other flavors, the Cinnamon Churro is also made with Nestlés commitment to no high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners. That means you can give your kiddos a little churro-flavored treat every now and then without worrying too much about a whole lot of unnecessary stuff in their morning glass of moo juice.
Says, Jiminez, "Nesquik has a rich history of bringing families together, across generations, with delicious products they know and love."
Preach, Jackie. We hear you!
Nesquik Cinnamon Churro Flavored Powder will be priced between $5.99 and $6.49 for a 20.1-ounce container and is expected to roll out to other retailers following its exclusive launch at Walmart.
