i'm sure many here were not aware that there were 2 distinct flavors of peak milk - one from Holland and the other from Lagos.

Did you grow up in nigeria?

I think the word 'Many' should be changed to 'Most'

Inked_Nerd:

What's peak milk?

chic2pimp:

Can you blame them? Those days if it wasnt holland it wasnt peak milk.

Inked_Nerd:


Ummm, how about "some"?

I agree with chic2pimp, peak was reserved for butter pikin then oh. The rest went with Dano and if you were on the bottom rung you managed with cowbell. If you couldnt afford cowbell then na wa for u o.

Inked_Nerd:


Dano? Is that a Nigerian product?

That was from Denmark. We dont have the facilities to produce high quality milk in nigeria . . . of course unless you consider wara tutu re.

Inked_Nerd:


Ummm, how about "some"? . Thanks for putting up the pic. Is it condensed milk or evaporated milk?

Some ke?Only if dem wan lie .

Evoparated Milk.

I still remember i used to carry the huge tin to uni those days. That thing bought me many favours.

I bet it did. Milo was my own saving grace . Brandishing that Big Green Tin saved me from numerous beatings.

Inked_Nerd:


Hmmm, that's unfortunate. We're such capable people. . . I wonder when Nigeria will go to the days when they tried to make the Z-600

It has little to do with our capability. Such large scale production requires so much investment . . . where is the energy to run such a factory 24/7? Milk like this has to be kept cool all the time, when NEPA takes light what happens to the bulk material?

davidylan:

a selection of poverty-stricken folks here. 

Typical breakfast - cornflakes with peak milk (the dutch one), bread and scrabbled eggs or toast.

who mentioned moimoi and ogi there? 

HAAHAHAHAHA!! Identified Like a true naija bred Pako-bota. Only the ijinle's can pull out nuanced differences like that

I now agree that we have too many Never-been-to-Naija, Never-Spent-Naira-before folks on Nairaland 

hehehe bros milk dey and MILK dey.

davidylan:

hehehe bros milk dey and MILK dey.

Walahi My bro! Milk pass milk.

But after pouring those powdered things in a used can of Peak Milk, all "Milks" become Equal   Pako boys started forming same level with us "omo Buti" for boarding school because of Powdered Milk.

Sachet powdered Milk was a great leveler in those days

Yeah eventually the Ikeja peak milk started coming in satchets and that was the end of the classification of milk.

Who remembers planta on bread? No margarine can ever be as good!

Oh Planta! what happened to that product sef?

it just vanished off the market. Cold planta on warm freshly baked bread . . . oh la la!

Blue band was not a bad substitute though. Chei na buta pikin enjoy naija pass.

haha Nothing like boti jare
