Talk:Nesquik

Duplication of content and merge proposal

There seems to be a large amount of overlap between the main Nesquik article and Nesquik (mix), and an unclear delineation of the difference in scope between the two.

There's also the typical inconsistent inclusion of indiscriminate information of questionable use, such as batch numbers of affected products of the powder mix in the 2012 recall which, since they related to products that would have expired in late 2014, are unlikely to be of use now, and should probably have been referenced via an external web page in the first place.

Actually, I'm not even sure that a limited recall warrants its own section; a typical example of mistaking ephemeral importance for something that belongs in a long-term article.

Anyway, these articles are a bit of a mess IMHO.

• Support for merger. Both articles mostly list the same information, so there is no need for two separate articles. AJFU (talk) 18:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
• Merge. Potasmic (talk) 20:13, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
• Ditto on the merger support. Over-specialized sub-topical entries are often missed by this casual researcher. This is a case in point. Zanski (talk) 04:06, 8 February 2016
• Merge. Both articles mostly list similar information and it's confusing to have two articles. This article needs someone who is an expert in global consumer products to give this a good once over.Whoisjohngalt (talk) 16:34, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Nestle Quick or Nesquick?

I was in a grocery store last night and purchased a Nestle Quick chocolate milk when I realized something strange: it was now called "Nesquick." All my life it has been "Nestle Quick." I've purchased the chocolate powder, the syrup or the chocolate milk itself, and always it was labelled "Nestle Quick." The article makes no mention of this name change. Was this only in Canada?

I really hate to nitpick, but it's always been known as some variation of Quik, not Quick. Also, I'm not sure when the name was changed to Nesquik, although it's been at least a decade now, at least in the US. 172.56.21.127 (talk) 13:16, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Misplaced criticism

There are no references for this statement: "Nesquik breakfast drink contains 30gms (approximately 7 tea spoons) of sugar per cup, which is much higher than a recommended daily portion for a child, which is no more than 24gms per day." Furthermore, why is a criticism of the subject included in its description? 69.68.244.225 (talk) 23:54, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Question

I'm curious why or how Quik dissolves well in milk (quick, one might say) as opposed to cocoa powder, which forms lumps and takes determined whisking to mix. ie What's the chemistry behind it? I think this would be an interesting point for the article (and currently a curious lack), as it is a major distinguisher of the product.Feldercarb (talk) 18:34, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
