Fan-favourite drink hops back into supermarket shelves nationwide!

Nostalgia has a taste, and for many Australians, it's the countless treats that have come and gone supermarket aisles.

If you're missing this childhood favourite, Woolworths has some delightful news for you.


After a long absence from supermarket shelves, Nestlé has finally answered many Australians' calls.

Nesquik banana-flavoured milk is back, and it's just as how many Aussies remember it.

Nestlé made sure to use the milk powder's original recipe, ensuring that the same memorable taste and vibrant yellow colour are there to take Aussies on a trip down memory lane.

They have also gone the extra mile to reignite nostalgia by using the product's original tin packaging.

Fans of the banana-flavoured drink have been vocal about seeing it back on supermarket shelves.

'Die-hard fans have been asking us to bring back this old-time favourite, and we've heard you,' Sid Kajale, Nestlé's Head of Marketing Dairy, acknowledged.

'Get in quick for this cult classic's comeback.'


The comeback of Banana Nesquik is a testament to the power of consumer demand.

Holly, an avid fan of the drink, sought out imported versions of the product and paid a premium amount for the product.

An imported version of Banana Nesquik set her back $8.99 for a tub.

Holly's quest, which she shared on social media, highlighted the lengths fans were willing to go to for their favourite products.

Nestlé's decision to bring back Banana Nesquik was a win for the product's fans.

It also became an example of how a dedicated fan base could influence market offerings.


A 250 g can of Banana Nesquik is priced at $4.00 and is now available across major retailers in Australia.

Banana Nesquik has been discontinued by Nestlé in 2018.

This decision led many fans of the product to buy a United Kingdom version of the product from select specialty stores.

However, it's still unclear whether Banana Nesquik will be permanently back on shelves or if it's only available for a limited time.

So, if you're keen to relive the good old days, it's time to stock up just in case.

Provided it is the same ingredients some people will be very happy. The original "recipe" was Gluten FREE which is essential for people with Coeliac Disease or wheat (or barley) intolerance. Giving gluen to sufferers is like giving them food poisoning which csn last a few days, not just hours. I have witnessed that.
Nestle Milo is not gluten free
