A lot of things have been happening in the world of flavored milk that I wasn’t aware of until recently. If you are still guzzling boring old chocolate milk, a.) I’m very jealous of your lead-bellied lactose tolerance, and, b.) I have a hot tip for you: There’s a whole line of flavored low-fat milks called Nestlé Sensations, and they’re doing a lot. The brand previously released Froot Loops- and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnamilk-flavored milks, and now they’re delving further into the cereal world—and expanding beyond it—with two new Nestlé Sensations flavors: Nestlé Sensations Eggo Maple Waffle Flavored Milk and Nestlé Sensations Frosted Flakes Cereal Flavored Milk. We cracked open both bottles, threw tummy-trouble caution to the wind, and tasted them to find out if they’re worthy of your milk money.
I absolutely love Frosted Flakes. Every time I eat Frosted Flakes as part of a taste test here at Sporked, I say aloud to absolutely no one, “Why don’t I eat Frosted Flakes more often?” Anyway, I was prepared to love this Nestlé Sensations milk, but I was let down. It smells and tastes corny. I get it. Frosted Flakes are made of corn. I just don’t think the toasted corn essence matches the toasted corn flavor in Frosted Flakes. Also, Frosted Flakes milk is a naturally occurring substance. This needs to be tastier than the genuine article, and I don’t think it is. That said, it isn’t bad. It’s sweet, creamy low-fat milk! Hell yeah!

Nestlé Sensations Eggo Maple Waffle Flavored Milk
This is what I’m talking about! Unlike Frosted Flakes milk, waffle milk is not a naturally occurring substance, so right away this Nestlé Sensations milk is earning its keep in the fridge. It tastes more like syrup than it tastes like Eggo waffles, but that’s a-ok with me. It’s so, so creamy, and it tastes like cold, delicious pancake syrup—not maple syrup, necessarily, but something sweeter and more buttery, like Pearl Milling Company. If you’re going to try just one of these new Nestlé Sensations flavors, I think you should try this one.
