Seeing the word Nestles in that message causes me to think of two thoughts I
have.

Nestles QUIK - many years ago as I was watching a Quiz Show on TV and a
contestant answered "Nestles QUIK" and that wasn't the correct answer.
The host said the answer was "NesQuik" which was the newer name for the
product.
(The new name hadn't come to my mind, so I was wrong too).

Second, Farfo saying CHOCOLATE after Danny O'Day(?) saying
N E S T L E S  Nestles makes the very best.

I still have a Teaspoon with the QUIK Bunny on the handle.
Sent 25 cents and two coupons off of Nestle QUIK boxes to get it.
When the package arrived I saw the spoon wasn't cheaply made, so went out and
bought a lot more QUIK packages that had the same offer on the box.
