Fav BigM's

They actually think VB is a good drop over there so I doubt the greatest range of milk, FU, would get a gig.

Vics are tasteless.

They seem to love FU over in Geelong. Must be a small-town thing (J/K, don't mind the drink )

VB a good drop? You must talk to a lot of bogans.

Apparently Farmers Union mill outsells Coca-Cola in South Australia. And South Aussies are the highest consumers of flavoured milk in Australia.

Now where did I find that rather obscure fact?

From the blog of David Byrne, former Talking Heads frontman -

He is also quite taken with Perth's spearmint flavoured milk -

It is a great blog that i've been flicking through for the last hour. The guy's interests andd musings are far and wide.

Have never tried any of those flavours in a Big M. Have they all been produced throughout the years?

Vote 1 Egg Flip.

 

[SJ]

Vote 1 Egg Flip.

Want Pine Lime (remember when it was Splice Pine Lime? "Tastes just like a Splice in a blender... without the bits of stick") but it is trailing pretty badly.

Yep most of them from the 90s from memory.

A chocolate Big M can not be beaten on taste.

 

[dthack]

I like them all but blue heaven was my favortie.

Didnt mind egg flip too!

Now I flip between banana and strawberry

 

[J6shSC]

Honeycomb and Pine Lime Big M

They are bringing one back! http://www.bigm.com.au/ VOTE!

 

[Ledger]

Can someone explain what egg flip tastes like? I can remember all the other flavours but that.

Kinda like eggnog but without the booze!

 

[rocker_oz33]

l reckon the Big M people needed to something with there big M's l dont see them selling as good as they used to. this might be a good idea to help there sales out

 

[GPW1]

cmon choc berry!

 

[laugha07]

My favourite Big M is Raspberry and coca cola

 

[Rohan25]

Oh man, when I was a kid I used to drink Big M every day, and this actually brought back some pretty cool childhood memories. I wish they had included the choc-mint in the competition. I had the vaguest memory of drinking that when I was about 4, but I thought I must have imagined it. Seeing that 1986 ad from earlier in the thread confirmed it was actually a real drink.

I wouldn't mind trying all of them again actually. They should give them all a limited run again. They hardly ever release new flavors nowadays.

I voted Blue Heaven, but I'll drink whichever one comes out on top.

Can't believe this is coming last:

 

[Jabso]

Big M chocolate is crap.

Classic chocolate always killed that. Now it's owned by Big M so it's Big M Classic Chocolate but you can't get it in jugs anymore just the brown plastic bottles.

I think they're still huge with tradies. Although perhaps even they are now latte sippers.

 

[Hawks1523]

I don't remember what Blue Heaven tastes like. Anybody?

Tossing up between choc-berry or honey comb. Although, I can get honeycomb Supashakes these days, and they're awesome.

 

[SJ]

Blue heaven tastes like blue.

In all seriousness I think vanilla is a part of it.

Choc-berry was great, I remember having 2L bottles of that at a birthday party of mine when I was about 8.

I remember having one once but I can't remember the taste. At this rate though we might get a refresher soon.

 

[THRILLHO]

Who needs BigM when you have Farmers Union?

They're both owned by the same company and taste pretty much the same. That is, shithouse.

Farmers Union tastes nothing like Big M Ice Coffee.

 

[Space Oddity]

Banana by far the best
