Do they still make Big M's.

Banana yuk.

We have Dare up here, which the esspresso is yummy.

 

[lifelike_]

Banana and Chocolate. All of them are good.

 

[lioness]

Banana. But all of them are good.

 

[de_LICA_ish18]

Choc, Strawberry, Banana in that order.

We have Dare here as well, but it's nothing on the quality of Big M, of which I like all the flavours. Ranking them, I'd say:
1. Banana
2. Iced Coffee
3. Strawberry
4. Chocolate

Bring back Choc Berry, that was an awesome flavour.

Chocolate and Strawberry.

Until they changed the formula for it, which coincided with the change in packaging of the ones in the small box prima-like Big Ms.

Absolute discrace, now they taste crap and aren't worth half the asking price.

We have Big M up here as well Mainly just the UHT ones unfortunatly but some places still sell the one in a carton.

As for the OP question, Chocolate by far!

I like the new "Mooves".

Are you talking about the bottle big m's? as they are long life and taste the same as the prima like big m's. But as far as I know the carton ones taste the same as they always have.

Who needs BigM when you have Farmers Union?

 

[Stakerz]

Chocolate by a long way.

I was the only person who seemed to like Egg Flip Big Ms when I was a kid.

Does anyone remember when you could get hot Big M's? They'd take it from the fridge at the milk bar and plunge some great steam wand thing into it.

Not good.

Quoted for truth.

Victorians seem happy drinking that utter piss, too bad they don't realise something way better exists.

Interesting...how long ago was that?

Good call on the Farmers Union iced coffees, they have a stronger flavour than Big M's and are the best iced coffee going around. Although I'm a fan of the Banana Big M.

Farmers Union!

Late 70's I would think. I can (very) vaguely remember the TV ads. It was a winter promotional thing - instead of the typical Big M girls in bikinis, it was a bunch of gals in fluffy snow-bunny type outfits at a ski-lodge or somewhere. It was a double flop that year, for that was then they released the short-lived blueberry flavour, which tasted alright but had a disturbing purple colour.

Same here mate. Loved the Egg Flip Big M's!!!!!!!!!

I'm talking about the small 250ml prima box ones.

I checked the formula's on the old and new boxes, and there's less sugar or fat (can't remember what it was now) in the new one, therefore making the taste less desirable (for me anyway). Haven't had one since...

Honeycomb and Pine Lime Big M

 

[Monkster]

Used to be able to get Big M milkshaes (from a milshake machine) in the mid-late 90s, best damn milshake I ever had, even better than a 5 dollar shake

They had to change the formula to get it past the schools board and in to school canteens which is the largest market.

And who can forget the Big M Calendar (buying that was an annual ritual) as was the Pickering calendar in the early 80's.

And a hot Big M.

Ahhhh... that makes sense... considering I originally got hooked on Big Ms in primary school.

Still, it was my favourite drink, now it's not.

Thanks for the info.
