Horlicks traditional

22 Posts

in Gone off!
Morning everyone,
I know it’s a silly time of day but I’ve just got in from work and have settled down in bed with my book and a cup of Horlicks and it just doesn’t taste right! I bought a tub from Tesco a couple of weeks ago and that tasted strange. I assumed I might have found one from a dodgy batch so bought another, this time from Sainsbury’s. It still tastes odd!! I have a cup every night when I finish work over winter so I like to think I know my Horlicks and this isn’t it 😐. I understand there was a takeover a year or two ago but does anyone know if the recipe’s been changed? I am not a happy bunny if my Horlicks has been messed about with 😠
Thanks 😊 x

Hope is not a strategy
So it seems it has changed, though they are saying it's only down to production line equipment. I find that a bit hard to swallow (;)) since I don't see how that would change the method of preparation.
But for me anyway the texture and taste is all wrong, so I think my Horlicks quaffing days are over.
Is this fluffier, finer powder a ruse to actually give you less!?
Did you get any vouchers?
All in all, time to move on from Horlicks, I've binned my jar.
I might be totally wrong, but straightaway, I thoughr this new labelabel has a Chinese appearance about it !!
When I opened it, the texture was completely different. Having being diagosed with Osteopernia and advised by a health professional to drink Horlicks as the calcium content is good for bone density, is it really as good as the old product ??
Horlicks was always my favourite bedtime drink but not any more - tastes awful - have not bought any since the change.
