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.
OPINION: There is zero chance that someone who joined Fonterra as a lobbyist, then served as a general manager of Fonterra's nutrient management programme, and sat on the board of Export NZ, a division of lobbyist group Business New Zealand, doesn't understand that local butter (and milk and cheese) prices are set by the international commodity price.
Kiwis love their butter, and that's great because New Zealand produces some of the best butter in the world. But when the price of butter goes up, it's tough for some, particularly when many other grocery staples have also gone up and the heat goes on co-operative Fonterra, the country's main butter maker. Here the co-op explains why butter prices are so high right now.
An A$2 billion bid for Fonterra's Oceania business would be great news, according to Forsyth Barr senior analyst, equities, Matt Montgomerie.
