Why, oh why, would any company take this name for their product? Especially a product aimed at the kid market. Would any parent actually buy their child a bottle of Horlick's Malted Milk? I certainly hope they eventually changed the name! On second thought, I guess its better than Horlicker's...???
Oh, no there is still a Horlick's and it's a tablet that I think tastes like chalk. So I've heard, very popular with some Brits. The other thing is that it's a derogatory comment for old fogeys in Britain. LOL
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a very silly name. LOL
For decades, the Racine Horlick High School teams were known as the Horlickers. They have since changed their name to the Rebels.
