For years we have witnessed many milk additives. Bournvita,
Complaint, Milo, Maltova, Horlicks, blah, blah and blah. We know, they make
kids Taller, Stronger, Sharper and all the possible “er”. Along with great
taste does such milk additives also stimulates the grasping power of brain, as promised? No, they don’t. I have tasted all and Maltova was the best though
my mother asked me to settle for Bournvita.
I asked myself a question – Does my class topper use such a supplement
to hold his position in class? Perhaps yes. That is the reason why I started having
it. Expectations always hurt – I learned it the hard way. Even after Bournvita I
didn’t top. This was preposterous. I condemned the apparent result. Then I tried Horlicks. It should
have worked according to the ad. The “sharper” thingy wasn’t true. They exaggerate
the sharpness by various degrees. I don’t see how it can calibrates one’s mental
capabilities when now I mull on it. That is when I learned some facts— I still forget where my cap is after
wearing it. I still search for my specs even when I’m wearing them. Perhaps, I
should file a legal complaint against additive makers and drag them to the
Consumer Welfare court, no? Also I have nothing much
interesting to do these days.
