Seriously, I had no idea how much impact this delicious drink called MILO had on the entire country!
When Papa found out about this MILO Van redemption thingy, he was all crazy about collecting the entire series….and thanks to some additional proof of purchases from Ah Ma/Ah Kong and Joyce Ah Kor, Papa managed to secure enough points to redeem all SIX vans in this redemption promotion.
Problem is, the entire country was just as crazy too as the stock of vans were all gone within weeks…so late submissions from Papa had to be processed at a much later date and we only got the full set of vans some 3 to 4 months after the forms were submitted.
It was kinda crazy like two vans would come on one month and then we had to wait for another month before the next two vans arrived and so forth. Hee!
But anyway, when all the vans arrived, Papa seemed the happiest…okok, maybe Koko Collin was delirious too because they added on to his vast collection of road vehicles…sigh….I wonder why they even bothered to pack the vans in those nice glass boxes because Papa and Koko Collin tore them out so quickly to get their hands on them.
…so Papa went on and on about his old schooldays when he had to line up together with the rest of the students to get a cup of Milo from these vans… and today, both Koko Collin and I may not have even seen such vans around, but we can always ask Mama to make us some Milo anytime of the day! Yay!
Well, at least with so many toy cars around the house, I still had the chance to play with these Milo vans every once in a while.
I thought this was the cutest.

Do YOU all also have that Milo craze?!
