Bitter sweet milk

Written by  Milking It

Lime-flavoured milk may be a popular drink in New Zealand but for the Americans, that's not the case.

A US women's rugby star, here for the World Sevens Series leg, took to social media platform TikTok to let the world know about our "unusual" drink.

Fonterra's Sublime Lime flavoured Primo caught the attention of US rugby player Ilona Maher after she arrived at Auckland Airport.

"We've arrived in New Zealand and they have this thing called lime-flavoured milk. I keep making fun of it but I think I should buy it and try it," she said in a video on TikTok.

Despite the hefty $7 price, she purchased the milk, but admitted she was a little unsure about trying it.

"I'm trying the lime milk." The verdict? "It's not bad. I can't place what it tastes like. I don't think I could drink the whole container of this but it's not too bad," she declared.
