So last week this happened.
Singer Nathan Hartono was out trekking the Great Wall of China when he suddenly had intense cravings for some comfort food.
Yeah, you know, like good ol’ Bak Chor Mee and Milo.
Before we proceed, let’s back it up a little.
While slaying the competition in Sing! China – China’s answer to The Voice – last year, our homeboy made a promise to rent a fleet of Milo vans and treat everybody to Milo if he’s the eventual winner.
Which was a damn popular move because everyone has a childhood and usually that childhood featured this green truck.
So Milo being full of Milo vans and different variations of Milo, offered to send out Milo vans to different locations in the name of Nathan Hartono – Win, lose or draw.
That’s how the flirting started, by the way.
So fast forward to 2017, with our homeboy hungry and thirsty on the Great Wall of China, broadcasting a SOS, Milo, being the genie in the bottle, responded with this.
A few days later, Milo sent two unlabelled bottles. Because Nathan Hartono. Also because flirting.
Naturally, a playa gotta play – off to first base.
Being the smooth operator that he is, he went on to do a live taste test during his Insta LIVE session.
Seriously you guys, get a room.
And two bottles were not enough. Obvs.
And to cement the worst-kept relationship of all time, Hartono ownself offered to don a Milo costume if Milo were to make the bottles a real product for everyone.
Here are two costume ideas that we think he can wear:
Mil-o-tron
Think Milo tin that transforms into Nathan Hartono. Milo tin, roll out! (ok it can really roll)
Milo Man
He's the hero Singapore deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll dissolve him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent beverage, a watchful powder. A Milo Man.
Latest update:
So how Milo? Where can we find this Milo Peng?
