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

Seems like it’s a particular brand of powdered hot chocolate from Cadbury

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.[

99% sugar is not the same as 100% chocolate.

As an Australian, I’m not angry, just very, very disappointed.

Milo is a right of passage in childhood, particularly if you have siblings. In fact I’m sure making one is on the citizenship test. If you don’t understand why, then you’re doing it wrong.
