Nestlé Nesquik is syrups, and ice cream novelties produced by Nestlé. The milk flavoring mix was developed in the U.S. by 1948, and introduced there as Nestlé Quik. In the 1950s, it was launched in Europe as Nesquik. In countries using the "Quik" term (including the U.S. and Australia), the name was changed to the worldwide brand "Nesquik" in 1999.
Nesquiks mascot, the Nesquik Bunny a.k.a. Quicky In 1973, the Quik Bunny, an anthropomorphic rabbit cartoon character wearing a "Q", was introduced as its mascot. His most famous television jingle is "It's so rich and thick and choco-lick! But you can't drink it slow if it's Quik!" In Europe and Canada, he is known as Quicky the Nesquik Bunny. France and Greece first had another mascot for Nesquik, which was a fat yellow humanoid cartoon monster called Groquik—a variation of Gros Quik ("Fat Quik"), created by . In Greece the mascot was called Quikáras ("Big Quik") He was later replaced by Quicky, much to the discontent of fans who protested against the lack of a sympathetic character and the Americanism. In Portugal, the mascot was a kangaroo, Kangurik, which was replaced by Quicky in 1989/1990. In the U.S. by 1999, the Quik Bunny was renamed the Nesquik Bunny and his "Q" changed to an "N" when the brand name was changed. He appears on the packaging and marketing and has appeared in the product's television commercials. His voice has been provided by American actor Barry Gordon. Additional products See also | ||||||||
