VIVA Semi Skimmed Milk Cartons - 27x200ml

Product Information

Reusable straws certainly exist – bamboo, silicon, stainless steel, even glass – but they need to be carefully washed and they could turn into lethal weapons in the wrong hands! A mid-morning portion of school milk provides an amazing array of natural nutrients, and it gives children an energy and hydration boost when they need it most. The taste of all three New VIVA Milk Drinks was preferred against another leading brand of no added sugar Milk Drink. Nobody knows why drinking from a straw makes oat drink taste even better, it’s just one of those little mysteries in life that both children and adults are free to enjoy.

Parents are accustomed to giving their children water bottles to take to school, so why not extend this to a milk bottle? Or you could try bucatini – it’s a bit like spaghetti but with a hole down the middle; the only problem is that the tube is very narrow so it might take a while to guzzle your full portion. We really value being able to help reduce the carbon footprint in our own small way,” added Mrs Malam.
