Anybody drink HORLICKS?

Synergy · 05-11-2009, 07:13 PM

I saw this at the store and started cracking up at the name. Apparently this stuff helps you sleep. Sounds tasty

Anybody try this stuff before?

Kensta335 · 05-11-2009, 07:14 PM

I see them in chinese cafes but never tried it before.

maybe if i drink some whore-licks instead of browsing the forums until 3am i can get a good night's rest finally

I grew up in England, and that stuff's Narcolepsy in a cup.

I am very familiar with Horlicks. My parents kept buying it from overseas when on vacation, and brought it to the states for my brother and I when we were growing up as kids. It's a nutritional drink that taste very good, even without milk.

Horlick is one of my favorite childhood drinks.

AllydNYC · 05-12-2009, 12:28 AM

I had some hot Ovaltine with my lunch today. Feeling sleepy now.

~sarah~ · 05-14-2009, 05:17 PM

Yummmm, i love Horlicks. Mum used to give it to me when i was a child to help me sleep.

I might go and buy some from the supermarket today now you have all reminded me of it.

I tried it in my late elementary school days. It taste like a freshly barfed barley drink. That's the best way to describe it. I would never drink that crap nowadays.

boymonkey · 05-15-2009, 02:08 AM

I had a choice between Horlicks and Ovaltine at the store tonight, was picking up supplies for weekend trip, ended up getting Chocolate Ovaltine because Horlicks needs real milk added.

jpsum · 05-19-2009, 06:53 PM

Horlicks is big with the chinese too because of British influnence in Hong Kong.

Horlicks > Ovaltine !!!
