    Is this some sort of European joke that I’m too American to understand?

      Milo is actually Australian funnily enough. It’s like a powdered chocolate thing similar to nesquik, but I don’t think it actually contains any chocolate.

        Ah gotcha. Drinking chocolate is also an unfamiliar term to me, though I’m fairly certain I can guess what it means in American English: hot chocolate

          I’ve never heard of drinking chocolate either, and I’m only now realising that it’s a noun instead of a verb in the meme. I only happen to know about Milo because I’ve got family living in Australia.

          I Wikipedia’ed it cuz malt by its self can’t taste like chocolate.

          Standard Milo consists of four main ingredients: malted barley, milk powder, sugar and cocoa.[
