THE viral video of a couple ‘chasing’ a Milo truck, to satisfy their pregnant daughter-in-law’s cravings for a cup of the chocolate drink, proved fruitful after the drink was delivered directly to their house.

The presence of the iconic green-white truck, parked in front of a house in Bukit Istana here left Natasya Rose Nizam, 23, speechless as she has been waiting for six long months to taste Milo from the truck.

“I was overwhelmed and almost in tears when I saw Milo truck before my eyes ... I have had this craving for the drink since I was two months pregnant and ‘Alhamdulillah’ (praise be to Allah) my wish came true today,” said Natasya Rose who is eight months pregnant.

“I crave Milo because it is a delicious drink, and I am reminded of the time back in school when the Milo truck came around,” she told reporters when met at her residence here today.

Natasya Rose, who is pregnant with her first child, said she had tried various chocolate drinks, but none of them could satisfy her cravings, hence her continued search for Milo truck.

Natasya Rose’s cravings for Milo drink became public after the video of her mother-in-law Datin Hasmazura Shahbudin, 46, and husband, chasing a Milo van at Jalan Pintasan Kuantan went viral on social media. It then got the attention of Nestle (Malaysia) Berhad.

Natasya Rose’s husband, Muhammad Azmer Mohd Badrul Merzam, 23, said he uploaded the video on his Twitter account as he felt the action of his parents chasing the van was amusing.

“They were trying hard to fulfil my wife’s wishes even though she (Natasya Rose) never asked us to get the drink.

“I also thank the netizen who uploaded the video that it received instant response from Nestle ... My parents stopped the truck at 10am on Monday, and by noon Nestle contacted me to arrange this surprise,” he said.

Meanwhile, Milo consumer marketing director (business unit) Maria Murni Nur Azmi said this was the first time the company made a surprise delivery for an expectant mother.

She said Milo truck that was pursued by the couple could not fulfil the request at that because the drink had yet to be prepared. — Bernama
